Anyone still in doubt that Shakira and Jennifer Lopez are two of the hottest women in show business right now need only have watched the Super Bowl LIV halftime show. Last night, in a glorious ode to Latinidad, the women breezed through their respective greatest hits with casual feats of athletic prowess: Shakira’s hips still don’t lie, and J. Lo dazzled with pole moves she’d picked up on the set of her 2019 hit, Hustlers. I’m an anti-NFL grouch — solidarity with Rihanna! — but even I couldn’t help feeling joyful (and, let’s be real, a little turned on) watching the performance for the first time this morning. I’m half convinced that Shakira waggled her tongue at the cameras, to the bafflement of Fox News, especially for her legions of lesbian fans. For a lot of viewers, the real surprise of the night was the fact of these women’s ages: Shakira just turned 43, and Lopez is 50. Everybody tweeting in shock and amazement that a 50-year-old woman could still look really fucking good must have missed this news cycle the first time around, when Lopez’s age (and apparently paradoxical beauty) became a focal point of the coverage around her role in Hustlers. When Lopez went viral last September for wearing the same green Versace dress that, back in 2000, inspired the creation of Google Images — to close the designer’s spring 2020 show — it was because of those recycled assumptions: She is older, and yet still hot! Wow!!!!! Lopez isn’t the only star whose age is frequently cited in a gee-whiz way whenever her looks are concerned. Jennifer Aniston, fresh off a career-best turn as the star of The Morning Show, gets the same treatment; last month, the New York Post spoke for many when it ran a story titled “How Jennifer Aniston Looks So Damn Good at 50 Years Old.” While women face a lot more pressure to be hot forever (I think about Amy Schumer’s “Last Fuckable Day” sketch, like, once a week), male celebs are also dubiously rewarded for subverting the ridiculous expectation that to get older is to become uglier. Apparently there are still some people who can’t get over that, for example, Jen’s infamous 56-year-old ex, Brad Pitt, has been consistently hot for “literally 30 years.” Of course, the most obvious explanation for how these rich celebrities look so good is: They’re rich. Unlike the rest of us, celebrities employ teams of people devoted to the sole task of keeping their bodies in tip-top condition: chefs, trainers, stylists, facialists, and, yes, plastic surgeons. It is, in fact, part of their jobs to be conventionally good-looking. If so many people are consistently surprised that millionaires manage to look “good for their age” — whatever that even means — what does that
