Style and Success are two things that seamlessly go hand in hand when it comes to embodying our Fabulous at Every Age mantra, and these five real women have truly proven that anything is achievable. This year's finalists of the Fabulous at Every Age Reader Search all gathered for a morning of pampering at the Surrey Hotel where they were dressed in the best by our fashion partner A.L.C. . All of the ladies then enjoyed an intimate luncheon provided by our sponsors Estée Lauder in partnership with Saks Fifth Avenue. Click through to meet all five of our 2017 finalists.

How your age affects your look: Working with and advocating for trauma survivors around the world has taught me to value all human beings and to appreciate the gift of life. Therefore, I dress as I live: with mindfulness, courage, and intention.

Fashion and Beauty Influencer of The Middle Page

Age: 56.

Style: Timeless, Realistic, and Unexpected.

Go-to designers: Veronica Beard, Helmut Lang, Frame Denim.

Beauty Icon: My mom.

How my age affects my look: I try not to think about my age when I consider "my look." Age is just a number, and I wear things because they make me feel good. Gone are the days that you have to change your look because you reach a "milestone" birthday. I live in Dallas and wear jeans most of the time. Most days you can find me in denim, a fun shirt, and my Gucci slides. What I won't wear (and not because of my age) are short shorts or skirts. That honestly has to do with the way the skin starts to look when you get a little older! And if I have a big happy smile on my face, hopefully, no one is thinking about my age anyway!

Age: 60.

Beauty Icon: Grace Kelly.

How my age affects my look: I have lived my life on deadline working in television news since I was 22 years old and have always had to be camera ready. I know how to get myself together quickly. Now that I am 60, I spend a bit more time in the makeup room. A great haircut and concealer are a girl's best friends and so are a great pair of long earrings. Above all, a smile makes you youthful.
