Jaclyn Smith skyrocketed to fame as one of the original Charlie’s Angels stars in 1976, when she was in her thirties. This week, she shared videos that proved her looks five decades later are as show-stopping as ever.
After the 80-year-old posted two videos on Instagram modeling her new HSN collection, some viewers complimented the outfits she modeled for the camera, but many turned their attention to the actress’s youthful appearance.
In the first video, Smith showed off a floral-print scoop-neck sweater, wearing the piece with green pants and nude heels and topping off the look. Her voluminous, healthy hair was styled with a bouncy blowout.

Another fan asked, “Could you be any more gorgeous?” while a third said, “You look beautiful!”
“When my hair was its natural chestnut brown, and I was a size 6, I was told that I looked like her...what a compliment!” one social media follower reminisced.

Smith, who was the only angel in Charlie’s Angels to star in all five seasons of the hit TV series, alongside Farrah Fawcett, Kate Jackson, and Cheryl Ladd, made a successful transition into fashion after her angel days.
Her first fashion collaboration line with Kmart was published in 1985.

In the second Instagram video, Smith wore a white long-sleeved shirt, ankle-length dark jeans, and leopard-printed Adidas shoes.
As she modeled two faux-fur vests from her line, she asked fans for their opinion on whether they preferred the lighter or the darker version.
Once again, fans got busy commenting on how beautiful Smith looked.
“Doesn’t matter. You look stunning in anything,” wrote one admirer.
Another agreed, writing, “Hard to pick with you wearing it. Both look great on you.”

In 2022, Smith told The Daily Mail about her beauty routine.
She shies away from plastic surgery, Botox, or dermal fillers, but undergoes intense pulsed light treatments to treat aging and sun damage.
“I don’t believe in fillers, and I haven’t done any cutting,” she said. “If I put anything in my face, I use my own fat, which is hard to do.”
Smith was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2002, but entered complete remission after a successful lumpectomy and radiation.
She told The Daily Mail that one of her motivators for healthy living was her three granddaughters.
“I want to be vital in their lives, so I need to be healthy,” Smith said.
The actress shared that her exercise routine included weight lifting and Pilates, and she also followed a strict diet.
“I have a big breakfast: scrambled eggs and two pieces of toast. Lunch could be anything: if I’m out it could even be a hamburger or pizza. In the evening, we have chicken or fish. And fresh vegetables,” she said. “I try to be healthy but, damn, it’s hard. I mean, I don’t drink or smoke, so can’t I have some cookies?”
