Actresses In Their 40s Are Getting All The Covers

Filed Under: Jennifer Aniston Julia Roberts Lindsay Lohan Britney Spears Kim Kardashian Halle Berry Spread 'Em Snooki

Julia Roberts nabbed Elle, Jennifer Aniston got Harper's Bazaar and even though we haven't seen it yet Halle Berry landed Vogue.

All three women had their face plastered across the September issues, but they also have something else in common: they're all over 40.

So why are Hollywood's leading ladies getting the highly coveted cover and not up and coming starlets?

Lesley Jane Seymour, former editor of Marie Claire explains:

"They're the ones with real style, real staying power, real beauty. As the American population continues to grow older, everyone can relate better to a woman with a little wear on her tires.

Who is there with any kind of real style or longevity in their 30s or 20s right now? Britney Spears? Kim Kardashian? These are flashes in the pan. Many are shallow reality stars like Snooki. Style icon? Um, talk to me in a year. Frankly, it's here today, gone tomorrow. Lindsay Lohan? What's to look up to?"

Ouch!

But she does make a good point.

Who would U rather see on the cover of a magazine???
