Demi Moore, 63

The fashion-forward star stood out in a custom Gucci black-and-green iridescent feathered gown with scaled detailing. Moore, who won AARP’s Movies for Grownups best actress award in 2025 for her role in The Substance, told AARP that she is embracing aging head-on. “You know, if you had told me in my 20s that my 60s would be the best moments of my life, I wouldn’t have believed it.”

Heidi Klum, 52

Strike a pose! The Project Runway and America’s Got Talent host strutted her stuff in a Chrome Hearts nude-colored, strapless two-piece corseted gown, adorned with white pearls. The forever supermodel told Entertainment Tonight that despite decades in the business, she is still star-struck on the red carpet.  “You have all the biggest stars in real life instead of on TV or in the magazines. I still get butterflies when I see certain people!”

Marlee Matlin, 60

CODA actress and 1987 Oscar winner for best actress for her barrier-breaking role in Children of a Lesser God brought her A-game in a V-necked Marmar Halim brilliant navy blue gown with long sleeves and a shirred bodice, paired with a Tyler Ellis clutch. Matlin was recognized at the Oscars as a trailblazer for her tireless work on behalf of the deaf community. She told AARP, upon the release of her 2025 documentary, Marlee Matlin: Not Alone Anymore, that it was good friend Henry Winkler who gave her the best advice of her career, encouraging her to “never give up."

Sigourney Weaver, 76

Queen for a day? Yes, please! The Avatar star gave off regal vibes in a long-sleeved, gold-embroidered gown, accented with a blue collar and cuffs. Weaver told ABC that she was excited to spend the evening connecting with old friends. “You know, I’m shy, and I live in New York. So [this is] the chance for me to be with my community, say hello to these many actors and directors that I admire. I really am so thrilled and delighted to see everybody.”

The actress recently spoke to AARP about her blockbuster career, spanning five decades. “I think I’ve been successful playing strong women because I am vulnerable,” she explained. “I don’t try to pretend that I have the answers.”

Kidman reminisced to E! Entertainment about winning the Oscar for her role as Virginia Woolf in 2002’s The Hours. “It was overwhelming at the time, but it was incredibly exciting as well.”
