These Kelly Ripa Photos From the Past Year Prove the Star Only Got Sexier After Turning 50
- Oops!Something went wrong.Please try again later.
Happy birthday, Kelly Ripa! The Live With Kelly and Ryan host and all-around national treasure celebrates another trip around the sun today, and Ripa’s life just seems to be getting better and better each time we check in on it. For that matter, Ripa keeps looking better and better too a year out from her 50th birthday — and sure, while it helps that she doesn’t look like she’s aged at all, but it also helps that there’s no (visible) mad scramble on Ripa’s behalf to try and turn back the clock. Between goofy pics with family (when she manages to get in the photo, that is) and steamy, loved-up snaps with her Man-Crush-Monday-slash-husband Mark Consuelos, Ripa is clearly loving the life that these 51 years have brought her. She looks beautifully happy to be herself — which, in turn, is also super hot.
The truth is, we’ve all been done dirty by decades of magazines urging women to “anti-age” themselves by any means possible. But women like Kelly Ripa — and other inspirational ladies like Paulina Porizkova, Vanessa Williams, Bethenny Frankel, and more — are nowadays offering a very attractive alternative, literally.

“I am 50. There. I said it,” Ripa wrote under a photo a year ago on Instagram — and in the year since, she’s shown us she won’t be covering up or hiding herself away because of it. Why would she? She’s never looked better.
Women who let their natural beauty shine through year after year are the only trend we’re interested in following, so please enjoy these photos of Ripa since her 50th birthday that will hopefully quiet any voice in your head that suggests “sexy” is just for women of a certain age. Ask Sharon Stone, Suzane Somers, and yes, Ms. Ripa herself (or better yet, her husband), and they’ll you: there’s no age limit on being a bombshell.
