The 2017 Emmys saw tons of celebrities hit the red carpet in Los Angeles. But it wasn’t the typical young stars that garnered the most attention.

Instead, the older generation wowed the crowd, wearing bright eye-catching designs that defied their ages.

Whether it was 79-year-old Jane Fonda in a hot pink Brandon Maxwell gown or mega fashion fan Leslie Jones dazzling in a thigh-high slit Christian Siriano dress, there were plenty of 50-plus women to gawk at.
