19 Hong Kong Actresses Who Still Look Amazing in Their 50’s
And just like that, the 1980s are now officially three decades old. Many of Hong Kong’s most famous actresses started out in the eighties, and even as we hit the new decade of 2020, these actress are still looking as great as they ever were. Aging is a process that never stops, but that doesn’t mean you have to look the part.
1. Teresa Mo (毛舜筠)
The 59-year-old actress still looks the same as she did 30 years ago. It is of no surprise that she is the only woman that the late Leslie Cheung (張國榮) has ever admitted to dating.
2. Rachel Lee (李麗珍)
Formerly known as the “Category III goddess”, Rachel is one of the few actress who managed to successfully transition to mainstream media after doing erotic films. The 54-year-old still looks amazing.
3. Adia Chan (陳松伶)
The 49-year-old television actress shot to fame after starring in her debut drama, 1998’s Song Bird <天涯歌女>.
4. Margie Tsang (曾華倩)
The 54-year-old was one of Hong Kong’s most popular television actress of the 1980s, and at one point was regarded as Taiwan’s most popular Hong Kong actress.
5. Chingmy Yau (邱淑貞)
As one of Hong Kong’s sexiest goddesses of the 80s and 90s, the retired actress still looks fantastic at 51 years old.
6. Michelle Reis (李嘉欣)
The former beauty queen dominated the Hong Kong film industry after achieving overnight fame through the 1988 Miss Hong Kong Pageant. Though she is now retired, the 49-year-old, known as Hong Kong’s most beautiful MHK, still looks like a movie star.
7. Gigi Lai (黎姿)
Though 48-year-old Gigi has already retired, she still suits the nickname “Goddess of Beauty.”
8. May Ng (吳婉芳)
With this picture, it’s hard to believe that the former Miss Hong Kong beauty queen and TVB actress is 52 years old!
9. Monica Chan (陳法蓉)
Once known as TVB’s most beautiful short-haired star, 53-year-old Monica still resembles the 23-year-old Monica when she won Miss Hong Kong in 1989!
10. Vivian Chow (周慧敏)
Affectionately nicknamed “Leader of the Jade Girls” (玉女掌門人) of the Hong Kong music industry, Vivian came to prominence when she was only 18 years old, after winning the New Talent Singing Championship. She is now 52-years-old, and is as fit as ever.
11. Joey Meng (萬綺雯)
The 49-year-old joined ATV after winning the Miss ATV Pageant in 1989. She is one of the few ATV actresses of the 90s who has successfully crossed over broadcasters and remained relevant after 20 years.
12. Kitty Lai (黎美嫻)
“Ancient Drama Queen” Kitty Lai is now already 53-years-old. How is she looking younger and younger?
13. Sheren Tang (鄧萃雯)
The 53-year-old made history as the first Hong Kong actress to win TV Queen two times.
14. Jaime Chik (戚美珍)
The 58-year-old actress is now retired with two adult children, but that doesn’t stop her from looking great!
15. Carina Lau (劉嘉玲)
The 54-year-old actress started off as a supporting actress for many TVB dramas and films, but even though she wasn’t the lead, she managed to turn heads every time with her powerful performances.
16. Anita Yuen (袁詠儀)
As 1990’s Miss Hong Kong winner and one of the youngest to win Best Actress at the Hong Kong Film Awards, there’s no doubt that Anita is a movie star. Even now at 48 years old, she still looks youthful.
17. Cherie Chung (鍾楚紅)
Cherie was one of the most acclaimed actresses of the 80s. At 59 years old, she looks even more sophisticated and royal.
18. Fennie Yuen (袁潔瑩)
Fennie started off as a commercial ad star. How does she look now at 50 years old?
19. Kathy Chow Hoi-mei (周海媚)
Still going strong at 53-years-old, the media has dubbed Kathy the “goddess frozen in time.”

Still Hot in Their 40s and 50s: Actresses Who Have Barely Aged
Chingmy and may look like they r in their 30s. Sherwin, cherries,Joey, Teresa , Carina and Monica all like great too. The others do look like any other women their age with make up on and slimer bodies.
My list – Jenny Meng / Chingmy Yau (邱淑貞) & Michelle Reis
Lazy article!. Literally anyone 50+ was listed. No quality control at all….
@jimmyszeto Yup, agreed…whoever put this article together was lazy, as many of the actresses don’t even belong on this list and for the ones that do, they didn’t even choose good pictures to illustrate their point. Can’t stand these types of poorly written/poorly compiled articles…
Some of the listed artists look youthful, some have aged well and a few not so, attempting to conceal under the tons of powder.
Cherie Chung has aged but she has aged gracefully and beautifully and still a goddess in my eyes.
Admin need to get her eyes checked. LMAO.
@ak47
Nah, the writer did get a few correct. For example Anita Yuen looks great for someone in her 50s. Oh wait!!!, she is 48yrs old. Not in her 50s then?
Rachel, May,Vivian, Joey and Chingmy makes it for me. Where’s my Irene Wan though?
shouldn’t michelle yeo be on the page too? she looks amazing!
to be fair, you got to have to gone through with menopause to qualify. women age significantly after they are through with menopause, so comparing someone whose 49 not quite menopausal with someone whose 54 is like comparing a teenage girl and a middle-aged woman.
Where’s Candy Law and Angie Cheong?
@jane626
cindy law, yes and angie, very pretty still
I have to say Gigi Lai, Chingmy Yau, Rachel Lee, Michelle Reis, Monica Chan, Joey Meng still looks great for their age. That’s right what about the rest such as Irene Wan, Candy Law, Yvonne Yung, Flora Chan, Athena Chu, Strawberry Yeung? Catherine Hung, Winnie Lau?
Some of them not even in their 50’s supposed say 40’s and 50’s?
@cutie777 I agree with you. I was getting ready to say the same thing. Either the title has to change or the people you present / speak about needs to be in their 50’s….
This is more of a “Where are they now?/How do they look today” article than a true all these women look amazing. They are all better looking than the average 40-50 year old women, but they were also all better looking than average 20-30 year olds.
I do miss seeing many of them onscreen. So much charisma that is lacking in today’s actresses.
@potatochip
Article the laziest I’ve seen yet. Writer picked as many 50yr olds as she could think of and included a 40yr old and then just found the first photo of each actress she found on google. Like you said the well above avg looking Asian 20 year old will have to go through hell to look too aged at 50. Might as well do an article on actresses who not aged well at 50. Can be more selective….
I agree with the headline “19 Hong Kong Actresses Who Still Look Amazing in Their 50’s”, especially with makeup, but I don’t agree that “the xx-year-old actress still looks the same as she did 30 years ago”. It is impossible for a woman to look the same after 30 years. If you take a closeup photo of an actress, just check her eye areas and you will easily find that she has aged. The eye area is the easiest area to expose a woman’s age.
@orchid123
i agree. i find it funny how reporters always say that. not just eyes, you could get surgery or a very good moisturer to fade it a little. when one smiles, jaw and cheek area always show one’s age. that’s why you notice vivian chow never face her face more than a grimace.
@m0m0
Agreed. Drooping eyes are the first sign of aging of a woman, then cheeks and jaw also show the age very easily.
I guess if you are a celebrity and you want to keep your face to look young, you can’t help but use botox or plastic surgery.
Michelle Reis & Gigi Lai looks like they have botox if you follow their Instagram. Does that count as they aged naturally? Some other might too. Irene Wan definitely has botox.
@joyce
omg, i agree. esp gigi, she looks very unnatural. michelle looks strange too, maybe b/c she’s just skin and bones.
@joyce
I think they both used Botox too.What a shame as Gigi would have aged very gracefully if she did it naturally instead of using Botox to mess up her face.
Oh no, Adia looks so puff up that i do not recognise her at all!
How in the world did she end up in this list
@conan2209 lol and that’s not even a recent pic of her. that was from a tvb series i think. when you are hitting 50 it’s hard not to puff up. haha lol….
Who can be forever young? No one but some do age better than others. I find that aging naturally is best because if you mess with your face then it will come back at you.
By the way, Kitty Lai did not age that well so why say that she is looking younger and younger? She has the type of face that ages fast.
Teresa Mo does not look the same as she did 30 years ago. She aged decently but of course looks a lot older but looks good for her age.
Whoever wrote this article needs their eyes checked.
