Legendary singer Susanna Hoffs's fans gushed over how young she looks after she shared a video about turning 65 years old.
The Bangles star took to her Instagram page to celebrate her birthday with a sweet clip about getting 'older and wiser'. In the clip, Susanna rocked a brown robe and let her long hair flow in loose waves down her shoulders. She looked out of this world with no makeup as she shared a few words of wisdom.
"I'm 65! Yeah, time marches on but it's all good. No makeup, it's going to be okay. Getting older is okay, it really is. Older and wiser," she said this month. Suki Waterhouse's hit song Good Looking played quietly in the background as she talked to her 717,000 followers.
Fans and friends immediately rushed to the comment section to talk about her youthful looks as they celebrated her birthday with her.

Bangles classic Eternal Flame was rejected by band leaving songwriter 'bereft'
Holly Robinson Peete, 59, said: "You look beautiful!" and singer Imelda May, 49, wrote: "You are so beautiful inside and out. Happy Birthday!" One follower added: "Some people age like fine wine.. you are one of them. Looking absolutely gorgeous. And that smile.. all your talent.. have a great one."
Susanna still tours with The Bangles after they reunited in the late nineties. Their last album, Sweetheart of the Sun, was released in 2011. The group's original line-up consisted of Susanna on guitar and vocals, Vicki Peterson on guitar and vocals, Debbi Peterson on drums and vocals and Michael Steele on bass and vocals.
As of June 2018, the band consisted of sisters Vicki and Debbi Peterson, Hoffs, and founding bassist Annette Zilinskas. Last year, Susanna revealed their hit song Eternal Flame almost didn't make it to the airways. The song became one of the biggest hits of the 80s but it almost wasn’t recorded at all.
Her Bangles bandmates – sisters Vicki and Debbi and Micki Steele – didn’t want it on their third album. Susanna remembered: “The band rejected that song, and I was bereft over it, I was like mortified. I had taken the cassette of Eternal Flame everywhere with me, asking people if I could show them the new song I’d just written.
“I was really excited about it, but then we had this band meeting about our third album, Everything, and it was rejected. There were four members of the band and everybody got three songs on the album, it was very conscripted, almost anxiety-inducing. Then halfway through the making of the album, our last record in the 80s, the producer said, ‘You know what, Sue? I think Eternal Flame should be on the record’. And I’m like, ‘Yes! Please, please.'"
