If you’re a little worried about embracing gray hair as you age, then just look to stars like Patricia Heaton and Sarah Jessica Parker as well as model Paulina Porizkova, who look stunning with silver strands. That list also includes Bette Midler, who slayed gray hair while recently celebrating her 80th birthday with none other than Martha Stewart.
Stewart marked the special occasion by taking to Instagram and sharing a photo of herself with Midler. The two look lovely as they pose for the camera, and while Stewart has silver hair with a touch of blonde and wore a sparkly sequined jacket, Midler had on a long-sleeved black shirt and her gray hair worn up along with blunt bangs.
In the caption, Stewart wrote, “The great @bettemidler celebrated her 80th birthday this week[.] What a powerhouse and what a fine example of womanhood and living well !!!”
Fans Loved the Pic With Bette & Martha
When Stewart posted the pic of herself with Midler, plenty of her social media followers took to the comments to let the stars know how much they loved seeing the duo together.
One person wrote, “Happy birthday!!! So glad to see you together and well.”
“Two amazing and inspiring women!❤️,” another person added.
A third fan wrote, “Two exceptional women! 🙌😍”
“What youth potion are you both drinking ? 😍,” came from another follower.
Someone else left a comment referring to one of Midler’s hits, saying, “I love you Bette! Happy happy birthday! Let me tell you something, honey you were the wind beneath my wings. May all your dreams come true.”
Bette Says She’s ‘No Longer a Spring Chicken’
GettyWhen it comes to getting older, Midler says that she’s “an endangered chicken.” What exactly does that mean?
Well, on October 24, at the annual Hulaween gala in support of the New York Restoration Project, which the singer founded in 1995, according to People, Midler explained, “[I]t’s true — I’m no longer a spring chicken. I’m no longer a summer chicken. I’m not even a fall chicken. I’m an endangered chicken at this point.”
Midler also said, “You know, when you’re old, you remember the old things better than you remember yesterday. You don’t remember what you ate yesterday, but you remember what it felt like to dig in a filthy park and to remove debris and to be amongst people who were like-minded. You really remember that.”
