2021 will hopefully be a much better year for everyone across the globe but for some celebrities, this year will mark a very important birthday — turning 40. Yes, turning 30 is certainly a big moment but in their 30s people can still get away with plenty of things — while being 40 definitely means that one's younger (and usually more fun years) are behind them.
Most of the celebs on today’s list have been in the industry for 20+ years so they’ve definitely made the most of their 20s and 30s but there's no doubt that they won't let their 40s stop them from continuing their success. From reality television stars Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie to Hollywood divas Natalie Portman and Jessica Alba — keep on scrolling to see just which celebs are turning 40 this year (even though they certainly don’t look it)!
10 Paris Hilton Turns 40 On February 17, 2021
Kicking the list off is reality television star Paris Hilton who is the first celeb on our list to turn 40 this year. The famous blonde will say goodbye to her 30s on February 17, 2021 — but that doesn’t mean that we have seen the last of her. Paris Hilton has done quite a lot since her international breakthrough as a cast member of the reality television show The Simple Life and turning 40 surely won’t stop her from being in the spotlight!
9 Jessica Alba Turns 40 On April 28, 2021
Next on the list is actress Jessica Alba who honestly hasn’t changed much in the last 20 years. Yes, the star is turning 40 on April 28, 2021, but just like plenty of other celebs in the industry — Jessica has somehow discovered the secret to eternal youth.
Seriously, can someone please share how the famous actress does it because she literally still looks like a 20-something-year-old!
8 Amy Schumer Turns 40 On June 1, 2021
Another actress who is turning 40 this year is Amy Schumer. The Hollywood star — who currently has a net worth of $25 million — will turn 40 on June 1, 2021, and there is no doubt that while turning 40 is scary it’s also the start of an exciting new chapter. For Amy, her 40s will probably bring plenty more fun blockbusters that the actress will get to star in!
7 Natalie Portman Turns 40 On June 9, 2021
Let’s move on to Hollywood star Natalie Portman who is turning 40 on June 9, 2021. Natalie is definitely one of the actresses in the industry that has starred in plenty of super successful movies and there is no reason for her to stop doing that in her 40s. And yes — Natalie also still looks as gorgeous as ever and fans can barely wrap their minds around the fact that she will turn 40 this year!
6 Chrishell Stause Turns 40 On July 21, 2021

Chrishell — who turns 40 on July 21, 2021 — rose to fame on the soap operas All My Children and Days of Our Lives but she is most recently known for being a cast member of the popular Netflix reality television show Selling Sunset — which hopefully gives us the new season soon!
5 Chad Michael Murray Turns 40 On August 24, 2021
Next on the list is actor Chad Michael Murray who turns 40 on August 24, 2021. Just like Jessica Alba, Chad also hasn’t changed that much in the past 20 years as the actor sort of looks exactly like he did back in the early 2000s when he starred in movies such as Freaky Friday alongside Lindsay Lohan and A Cinderella Story alongside Hilary Duff.
4 Nicole Richie Turns 40 On September 21, 2021
Paris Hilton's The Simple Life co-star Nicole Richie has also made it onto our list as the reality television star and fashionista is turning 40 on September 21, 2021.

3 Serena Williams Turns 40 On September 26, 2021
The only athlete that found her way onto today’s list is tennis player Serena Williams. The successful star will turn 40 five days after Nicole Richie — on September 26, 2021, and there is no doubt that not much will change for the star. Serena — who has a very expensive skincare routine — will surely continue looking gorgeous throughout her 40s!
2 Ivanka Trump Turns 40 On October 30, 2021
Next on the list is businesswoman Ivanka Trump who has since 2017 served as an advisor to the president, her father Donald Trump. She's turning 40 on October 30, 2021, and just like all the ladies on today’s list who are also turning 40 — she looks younger which doesn't come as a surprise because in the world of the rich and famous looks are (almost) everything!
1 Britney Spears Turns 40 On December 2, 2021
Wrapping the list up is none other than 90s pop star Britney Spears. On December 2, 2021 — in a little less than a year — Britney will turn 40, and while the star doesn’t look it, knowing that Britney will be 40 definitely makes plenty of her fans feel old considering that they grew up with some of her biggest hits such as "...Baby One More Time" and "Oops!... I Did It Again"!
