Donna Mills knows glam doesn’t have an age limit.
The “Knots Landing” star, 85, shared an Instagram Reel on Sunday, responding to a comment from an online hater that read, “You wear too much makeup for your age.”
“Oh, this comment. I guess I didn’t get the memo,” she said with a laugh, clad in a leather jacket, lacy tank top and jeans along with glossy pink lipstick and a soft smoky eye.
“Did you want me to look like this?” she asked, as the video cut to her dressed as a stereotypical old woman complete with gray bun, ruffled blouse, wire-rimmed glasses and pearls.
“Sorry, not sorry. I like the way I look. This is my style. And style doesn’t have an expiration date, does it?” she concluded.
“I said what I said 🤍 #style #aging #makeup #clapback #armchairwarrior,” Mills captioned the clip.
Fellow celebs praised the actress in the comments, with Viola Davis writing, “Wooooohoooo!!!!!” with several applause and heart emojis.
“I love this so much 🩷,” Bravo star Kyle Richards added, while Octavia Spencer dropped a bunch of fire emojis.
“You go girl! 💕💕,” Nancy Sinatra, also 85, commented.
Back in 2022, Mills — who was known for her bold glam in the ’70s and ’80s — shared her secrets to staying fit at any age.
“During the soap opera years, I never ate pasta, sugar, bread, ice cream, cookies or any of that kind of stuff. I would have maybe half a glass of wine. Now I eat, but I’m still careful. I’m not a vegetarian, but I grow, pick and eat a lot of vegetables,” she told AARP: The Magazine at the time.
When it comes to exercise, Mills said she “play[s] tennis five times a week for two hours at a time” on her clay court which is “much easier on your joints than cement.”
“I also have a small gym in my home, so I work out with light weights, use my Peloton, do a lot of stretching on my ballet barre,” she continued.
“And let me tell you, it’s not always fun. Like almost everyone my age, I have arthritis, and it hurts sometimes. But this is where discipline comes in. I’m not Superwoman, but I do always see the bigger picture.”
Mills added, “At age 60, 70, later, you have so much more to contribute — don’t just sit down and say, ‘I’m done.’”
