Why This Photo of Kate Winslet is a Win for Women Everywhere

Kate Winslet has talked a lot about aging in Hollywood, even joking that she formed she formed a "British Anti-Cosmetic Surgery League," but, still, it's somehow a stop-everything moment when you see a picture of her like this one taken at the London Divergent premiere this weekend.
Because not only can you clearly see her fine lines here, but they look stunning. They're the character on an otherwise-perfect face that makes you want to lean in and stare. And the fact that they're shot in such great conditions--ideal daytime lighting, a great angle--to create an ethereal vibe is really fantastic. It makes her entire aging situation seem not only like a total normal thing you should be seeing on faces everywhere (which is true, by the way--memo to Hollywood actress) but actually aspirational. Suddenly, it gives us all a new goal, like we can all dream of someday looking this distinguished as women and stop wondering how we can hold on to the baby skin of our teenage years into our twilight ones.
