Star Style: Kim Basinger & Ireland Baldwin

Basinger Then & Baldwin Now / People

Ireland Baldwin, age 18, has credited her mom, Oscar-winner Kim Basinger, with inspiring her to get into modeling.  Now, it seems that Ireland is inspiring Kim, who just turned 60 earlier this month:  Basinger has signed a contract with her daughter's modeling agency, IMG.

Reporting on Basinger's IMG contract, Variety wrote, "The perception of who is an acceptable spokesperson is changing; Basinger, who is 60, can help challenge the stigma that only youth works for sponsorships."

Variety continues to note that, "Recent months have seen partnerships like Jerry Seinfeld, 59, for Acura, Michael Bolton, 60, for Honda, and Helen Mirren, 68, for British retailer Marks and Spencer."

Fabulous at Any Age

Style at any age is one of our favorite fashion topics, so we were excited to see Harper's Bazaar's Fabulous at Any Age feature, honoring stylish women of different generations.

"At Harper's Bazaar, we celebrate women who are fabulous at every age, because great style is timeless," said the magazine's Editor-in-Chief Glenda Bailey in a statement about this year's "Fabulous at Every Age Contest." When the winners of the contest were announced, actress Brooke Shields hosted the celebratory event, which was sponsored by Estee Lauder.  Shields, recognized by Harper's Bazaar as being a symbol of ageless beauty herself, commented, "I think we should just own what we see in the mirror with absolute confidence."

The grand prize winner was Teruko Laura Burrell, age 55, who was awarded the grand prize of $10,000.  The other winners each received $5,000.  The Fabulous at Any Age winners are pictured with Shields above.  You can read more about them on Harper's Bazaar's web site.

And it's worth noting that it was recently announced that Shields is publishing a book on another one of our favorite topics - mothers and daughters!
