The red carpet this season of awards looks more like a high school meeting – so many major actresses that dominated Hollywood in the 90s and 2000s are back under the spotlight, and we are so there for that.At 62, Half moore is finally recognized for his work, picking up his very first Golden Globe for his incredible role in “the feminist horror” brilliantly bloody ” The substance. (She was nominated for the first time in 1991 – there are more than half Ghost). Even more impressive, she is the favorite to bring the best actress to this year’s Oscars on March 2.
Pamela Anderson57 years old, who, like Moore, has honored many covers of male magazines in his youth such as the face – and, of course, the body – Baywatchalso spent this season of awards to be widely celebrated for its role in The last showgirl.

And then there is Lindsay Lohanwhich was practically struck off in their twenties after having become more famous for partying than acting. The 38 -year -old star, now a resolutely cooler woman and mom, has seen her career soaring in the past year, thanks to endearing roles in festive novels and a chic youthful cure.
On the one hand, this is excellent news. These actresses are durable for one reason: they are emblematic, playing in some programs and films that have defined many of our childhoods, adolescents and 20 years: Baywatch, Charlie’s Angels, my best friend’s wedding, Freaky Friday, Mean Girls… After reading this list, is anyone else just want to shake in a cabin with their friends and watch them all back to back?
And that is perhaps what it is about: comfort and nostalgia. While many young talented actresses are working hard in Hollywood at the moment, as Sydney Sweeney, ZendayaAnd Margaret Qualley (Who plays the younger and apparently superior ego of Moore in The substance), the changing face of fame means that none of them is (still) as great or loved as the generation before them.
Your Boomer parents would likely find it difficult to choose them in a program, but would recognize Moore or Anderson in an instant, up to 30 years ago.
In 2025, stars of reality and influencers are often those of magazine covers and approval agreements or dominating the red carpet in the outfits discerned by Internet, which makes it difficult for authentic talent to cut all the noise and drama.
But these ladies – real Hollywood royalty – show that, in the end, skills, resilience and grain can win. You are never failed, you just need the right role, and it is often one with a concept that riffs the very feeling that you may have exceeded.
This is the thing: there is also egism at stake here. Now that actresses like Moore and Anderson are considered “too old” to be typical sex symbols – literally the intrigue of The substance – The world finally wakes up how talented they are. But did you really need Anderson avoiding makeup and Moore turning into a monster so that everyone could watch that these women had never just got their appearance after all?
In the end, everyone likes reinvention, especially when we know that some of these stars have crossed personal tragedies, sorrows and many other setbacks in the years that followed their last. Let’s just hope that being celebrated as a strong and older woman is not just a trend in 2025 but a whole new attitude.
