Donna Mills knows there’s no age limit on the gram.
The “Knots Landing” star, 85, shared an Instagram reel on Sunday in response to a comment from an online hater who said she wore “too much makeup for her age.”
“Oh, this comment. Looks like I didn’t get the memo,” she said with a laugh. She wore a leather jacket, lace tank top, and jeans, with glossy pink lipstick and soft smoky eyes.
“Is this what you wanted me to look like?” she asked as the video cut to her dressed as a typical old woman with a gray bun, frilly blouse, wire-rimmed glasses and pearls.
“Sorry, not sorry. I like the way I look. This is my style. And style never has an expiration date, right?” she concluded.
“I said what I said 🤍 #Style #Aging #Makeup #Applause #ArmchairWarrior,” Mills captioned the clip.
Fellow celebs praised the actress in the comments, with Viola Davis writing, “Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!” It comes with several applause and heart emojis.
“I love this so much 🩷,” Bravo star Kyle Richards added, while Octavia Spencer dropped a bunch of fire emojis.
“Good luck, girls! 💕💕,” commented Nancy Sinatra, also 85.
Fast forward to 2022, and Mills, who was known for her bold glamor in the ’70s and ’80s, shares her secrets to staying fit at any age.
“During my soap opera days, I didn’t eat pasta, sugar, bread, ice cream, cookies, anything. I drank about half a glass of wine. Now I do, but I’m still careful. I’m not a vegetarian, but I grow, harvest, and eat a lot of vegetables,” she told AARP: The Magazine at the time.
As for exercise, Mills said she “plays tennis five times a week for two hours at a time” on clay courts, which are “less stressful on the joints than cement.”
“I also have a small gym at home, so I train with light weights, use the Peloton, and stretch on the ballet barre,” she continued.
“Let me tell you, it’s not always fun. Like most people my age, I have arthritis and am in pain from time to time. But this is where discipline comes in. I’m no superwoman, but I always look at the big picture.”
Mills added: “Even when you’re 60 or 70 years old, there’s a lot more you can contribute. You can’t just sit back and say, ‘I’m done.'”
