Pictures Prove That These 14 Latinas Seriously Don't Age

There must be something in the water of Latin America or a set of special Benjamin Button genes, because these Latina celebrities are somehow aging backwards instead of forward. It takes just one look at these throwback pictures to see their skin is smoother, their bodies more banging, and their hair fuller — the definition of aging beautifully and gracefully. Keep scrolling to see what we mean.

Take one look at Salma from her telenovela days in Mexico and compare it to a photo of her today, and you might think she’s older in the throwback photos. At 49, she’s still as gorgeous and glowy as ever — she credits her own line, Nuance, as the secret to her smooth skin, but also has a few DIY treatments passed down from her grandma down her sleeve.

Bow down to the Queen, who told US Weekly in her best bodies issue that she attributes her amazing body to hard work. “Very rarely will I skip my workout. Sometimes, I work too late the night before and I'm like, 'Ugh, I can't do this.' But I tell myself, 'Just do it. It's only an hour.' It's just talking yourself off the ledge of being a lazy bum,” she said in the interview. It’s hard to believe the Puerto Rican stunner is 46 — and a mom to 7-year-old twins, Max and Emme.

Her style has come a long way since she gave us plenty of teenage-angst with her first album, "Pies Descalzos", and even from her superblonde boho period— but, no exaggeration, at age 38, Shakira looks exactly the same as she did back then. And can we talk about those enviable abs? Not only do we need a new album from the songstress, but we also need her workout routine!

With her high cheekbones and bouncy hair, the Mexican singer and actress looks 44-years-young — even with two kids and a record-breaking career under her belt. After having her first baby, Sabrina, in 2007, she told People she was a fan of toxin-eliminating cleanses. We’d gladly try a detoxing cleanse if it meant looking like this superstar.

The Modern Family actress was first discovered at 17 on a beach in Colombia; her big break was as a beach babe in a popular Pepsi commercial that aired across Latin America. Twenty-six years and dozens of acting roles later, Vergara is just as sizzling — in fact, if we didn’t know any better, we’d think her college-aged son, Manolo, was her boyfriend!

The 42-year-old puertorriqueña is a scene-stealer on Lifetime’s Devious Maids, and for good reason: she’s winning viewers over with her luscious locks, bronze skin, and dazzling smile — which haven’t changed a bit since her rise to fame in the early 2000’s.

Eva Longoria

Remember when we first met Eva Longoria as the scandalous but charming Gabrielle Solis on Desperate Housewives in 2004? Even before that, she was blazing a trail in the beauty world as a pageant queen (she won Miss Corpus Christi in 1998) — but looking back, the only thing that’s changed about the Mexican star is a stellar career and some amazing philanthropic work (and, of course, a couple of handsome beaus).

The Miami-born Cuban actress — and new mom to baby Esmeralda Amada with boyfriend Ryan Gosling (jealous!) — first rose to the mainstream’s attention after an unforgettable role opposite Denzel Washington in 2001’s Training Day, in which she stopped the show with her caramel skin, honey hair, and Cindy-Crawford-esque mole. Nearly a decade and a half later, we wouldn’t be able to tell the difference in age. Eva, please spill your secrets!

Gloria Estefan

The godmother of Latin pop, Gloria, is just shy of 60 — but you’d never guess it! Since her beginnings in the Miami Sound Machine, Gloria’s had us enamored of her gorgeous red hair and porcelain skin. Whatever Gloria’s drinking, we’ll have two, please.

Demi is currently “Cool For the Summer” — but she’s been hot since her teen years starring in Disney's Camp Rock and Sonny With a Chance. And with her confident new look, short cut, and handsome hunk Wilmer Valderrama by her side, Demi’s looking better than ever.

We initially fell for Zoe as Eva, the badass ballerina in Center Stage, in 2000. The proud Latina — and recent mom to twin boys Cy and Bowie — was as fast-talking and effortlessly beautiful at 22 as she is now at 33 years. So how does she do it? Through diet and exercise, of course. But, as she told Women’s Health last year, it’s all about balance: “Sometimes I pig out on pasta, but that's OK . . . The next day, I just eat healthy.”

America Ferrera

Before Ugly Betty, How to Train Your Dragon, and even The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants, Ferrera was a young actress breaking onto the scene with films like Disney’s Gotta Kick It Up and the indie Latina favorite Real Women Have Curves. She’s always been naturally gorgeous, rarely seen wearing much makeup — and the care to her skin has paid off, because fast-forward to 2015, and this Latina is looking better than ever.

Christina Milian

We think the 33-year-old Cuban could still play the role of high schooler; she hasn’t aged a day since her role as Paris in 2003’s Love Don’t Cost a Thing. But even though she doesn’t look older, she's talked about her upcoming long-awaited album, which will be all about maturing and becoming a woman.

Selena Gomez

She might be 21, but this pop star (and Taylor Swift’s BFF) still looks as dewy as she did as a 15-year-old on Disney’s Wizards of Waverly Place. But despite her good-girl looks, she’s not afraid to show us her sexy side with revealing photo shoots and a very grown up new video for her single "Good For You."
