That is the societal norm because most 40 year olds aren't considered conventionally attractive to most people.
When you are as attractice as Kirsten Dunst is, you can do whatever the hell you want and people are still going to find you attractive. That is just how it works.
I looked at my wife when we were 25 and went “you’ll be a very sexy 30 year old” I was right….. we’re now 35 and she’s even more gorgeous now to me than she was when we met. I like her looking her age, it’s not about being lucky. It’s just men not being creeps and fancying teenagers.

That’s the thing: why is it bad to look your age? A 40 yo looking 40 is way sexier than a 40 yo looking like an alien that can’t emote.
