Basic Trope: A visibly old character is portrayed as attractive.

  • Straight: Alice is 65 and is very attractive.
  • Exaggerated: Alice is 90 and is so attractive that Even the Girls Want Her.
  • Downplayed: Alice is 65 and looks adorable, although not as good-looking as she was in her youth.
  • Justified:
    • Despite certain stereotypes, people generally find others of their own age attractive, and the whole cast is as old as Alice.
    • Alice had plastic surgery.
    • Thanks to good genes, healthy lifestyle and luck, Alice maintained her beauty.
    • Alice naturally has white hair, which means as she enters old age, it's not nearly as noticeable.
    • Alice ages like wine, no matter what.
  • Inverted: Alice is an 18-year old Gonk.
  • Subverted: Alice is rumoured to be the Hot Wife to Alfred's Ugly Guy... But once we meet her, she turns out to not be good-looking at all.
  • Double Subverted: Except She Cleans Up Nicely.
  • Parodied:
    • Alice is presented as such despite possibly being the Gonkiest old hag ever seen.
    • Alice's age is only an informed trait—her actor is a beautiful woman in her 20's, and there has been no attempt to make her look older through makeup or special effects.
    • Alice is a Silver Foxy Vixen.
  • Zig Zagged: ???
  • Averted:
    • Alice is old and unattractive.
    • Alice doesn't look old.
  • Enforced:
  • Lampshaded: "I've never seen any hot old women until I met Alice."
  • Invoked: ???
  • Exploited: ???
  • Defied: ???
  • Discussed: "Alice is old enough to be my mum! Why is she so hot?!"
  • Conversed: "... Seriously, do you know any old people that hot in real life?"
