I suppose you could call this a CougList. But it's not just all Cougs, it's women that have not just kept it up but improved- at least for awhile. Impressive. And it's not all MILFs either. The definition here is that she has to have gotten noticably hotter at some point over time. Whether she is a mom, or whether she has "peaked" looks wise at this current moment is irrelevant to this particular list.
UPDATE: based on numerous comments (many of them bagging on Madonna), I have added Ranker's new voting buttons to the list so you can all fire away at my opinions. And to support the "wisdom of crowds", I will allow the list to be reranked according to your votes. Democracy in action!
Women Who Have Gotten Hotter With Age,
Demi Moore
Demi has never been anything but an a-list babe, but she makes the list because the focus is improvement with age, and there have definitely been some stretches where she looked noticably hotter in her 30s and even 40s than some of her 20s.
Felicity Huffman
someone else added her to their list of same topic- great call. i don't really recall what she looked like 10-20 years ago but she even looks better nowadays than when Desperate Housewives first went on the air.
Gillian Anderson
Scully was WAY hotter in the later seasons of X Files than the first 2 or three, hence her high position on this list.
Halle Berry
my friend Hamet pointed out that "she fixed the eyebrow thing" . . . and you know, he's right
Jennifer Aniston
Always a very attractive woman, but IMHO has undergone a slow and steady progression to maximum babeness
Kate Winslet
Thank you Tetramobile for reminding me of her. I just wasn't that into the whole Titanic thing so I'm going to put her on this list.
Kim Cattrall
Sure, she's peaked at this point, bless her, and i guess i am basing this ranking only on one early 80s movie that i can remember (Big Trouble in Little China I believe - I don't think she was exactly on the A-list for most of her career), but this woman was a total sex bomb for all of her late 40s.
Mary-Louise Parker
see comments section
Rachel Weisz
Much better looking in the last few years, as this photo exhibits.
Sheryl Crow
I've never been massively attracted to her, but she deserves to be listed here. She's always kept her looks up, to be sure, but there is something a bit sexier about her in recent times.
