There is a kind of charm, which is the ‘mature beauty’ of female celebrities
I wonder if everyone has noticed an interesting phenomenon:
With the continuous popularity of ‘Sisters Who Make Waves’ for four consecutive years, the entertainment industry’s preference for the female image has gradually shifted from the past emphasis on being young and slim to the current ‘sisterly aesthetics.
One of the most obvious examples is the proliferation of idol dramas with ‘sister-brother romance’ as the theme.
To the point that many idol dramas have transitioned from the cliché of ‘domineering CEO falling for the sweet and innocent girl’ to the dynamic of ‘younger guy not calling her sister, with a bit of a wild side,’ in the forget-the-age sister-brother romance.”
Furthermore, unlike in dramas with the ‘domineering CEO’ theme that often focus on showcasing male charm, the male characters in ‘younger guy romance’ idol dramas are often portrayed as ‘loyal dogs’ to the female lead.
The all-round presentation of the halo of mature women is the main reason why such dramas stand out.
These dramas may not necessarily be of high quality, but it cannot be denied that they have brought renewed attention to mature women and given actresses in their 30s and beyond new opportunities to return to the public eye.
In fact, the performances of these ‘sisters’ have also not disappointed. Leaving aside the varying quality of works, just their presentation of personal charm both within and outside their roles is truly commendable.
This time, let’s focus our attention on the ‘sisters’ in the entertainment industry.
Take a look at these ‘sisterly beauties’ and consider the charm that has allowed them to carve out a place for themselves in the fiercely competitive entertainment industry.
When we look at the charming qualities of these ‘sisterly beauties,’ there are three points that stand out.
The first, and perhaps the most significant reason they captivate people, is their ethereal beauty.
However, it must be clarified here that unlike the homogeneous aesthetic of ‘youthful and slim’ that was previously favored in the entertainment industry, the beauty of these ‘sisters’ is not a one-size-fits-all external beauty.
Instead, it is a beauty that emanates from within, a powerful and compelling beauty that has been shaped by the passage of time.
the beauty of these “sisters” is not just about natural beauty or cosmetic enhancements but is also a result of their self-discipline and ability to maintain their attractiveness as they age.
For example, in recent years, Qin Lan, who finally shed the ‘Green Ping’ and ‘Zhi Hua’ filters from her image through her role as Empress Fucha in ‘Story of Yanxi Palace.’
Although she no longer possesses the youthful innocence of her younger days, who can ignore her captivating waistline in her 40s, which shines brightly in ‘Shine Like Stars’?
For example, take Yin Tao, who in her younger days often appeared much older than her age, but later, after crossing the age of 40, managed to overcome her innate disadvantages through rigorous self-discipline.
Think about that astounding entrance scene she had in ‘In the Name of the People’ when it was a hit;
Consider her youthful silhouette in ‘Shine Like Stars’ during filming;
And think about the exquisite waistline she frequently flaunts in her daily life at the gym.
No matter who looks at it, wouldn’t they find this kind of beauty more impressive and convincing?
In comparison to someone like Guan Xiaotong, who is also blessed with a pair of beautiful legs but is younger, we can clearly see that Jiang Shuying evidently knows how to appreciate and make use of her own body.
This ability to appreciate oneself is the wisdom that age has bestowed upon these ‘sisters,’ allowing them to understand how to tastefully showcase their charm and subtly strike a chord in others’ hearts.

The second reason why ‘sisterly beauties’ are so charming is because of their high aesthetic sense.
This heightened sense of aesthetics is primarily reflected in their fashion choices and styling. In other words, it’s not far off from the idea that ‘clothes make the man.
However, unlike the deliberate attempts to please men with the ‘youthful and slim’ style, most ‘sisterly beauties’ consider initiative and a sense of control as their aesthetic criteria.
As a result, what we see in their fashion choices is not flattery or worldliness, but a sense of relaxation and charm that highly complements their own temperament.
Actresses like Bai Baihe, who often stands out with her casual wear, and Yang Mi and Gulnazar, who have bold yet not vulgar clothing choices, are actually representative figures with exceptionally high fashion sense among ‘sisterly stars.
Moreover, the choices these ‘sisterly beauties’ make in their makeup are also imbued with an undeniable sense of sophistication.
Unlike those who blindly pursue sweetness and a youthful appearance, ‘sisters’ prioritize enhancing their personal qualities while also subtly modifying their appearance to highlight their individual temperament.
Even when it comes to dealing with certain facial imperfections, their tolerance is remarkably high. It’s precisely because of this that these imperfections have become their unique personal traits.
For instance, Shu Qi’s full lips, Yuan Quan’s high cheekbones, and Liu Mintao’s defined jawline have all become distinctive and endearing features for them.
As for the hairstyle choices of these ‘sisterly beauties,’ they are simple yet elegant.
Hairstyles like high ponytails, big waves, and long straight black hair are actually their favorites. These styles are not as complex as the hairstyles of other atmosphere beauties, but they bring out their temperament to the fullest.
Of course, the beauty of these ‘sisterly beauties’ goes far beyond their external appearance and makeup. The most important aspect that makes ‘sisterly beauties’ charming is their clear and independent minds.
In other words, their presence has enabled many viewers to break free from the typical perception of female characters as ‘silly and sweet’ and discover another kind of beauty in women.
This clarity and independence are also the fundamental reasons why ‘sisters’ are able to transcend from their roles in acting and occupy a prominent place in the entertainment industry.
Hailey Lei, in a variety show, used her own example to advise women not to have body image anxiety. Song Jia, in interviews, sincerely shared with everyone that every age has its own beauty.
And then there’s Wang Fei, who has lived her life with abandon, loving freedom. All of them radiate the wisdom of women.
So, when we are once again ensnared by the distorted aesthetics of ‘youthful and slim,’ we must not forget that women’s beauty is far from limited to this superficial form of beauty.
Perhaps, the ‘sisterly beauties’ who can charm others subtly and invisibly are the ones who truly exemplify the advanced beauty of women that balances both internal and external qualities.
