Molly Ringwald looked younger than ever as she posed for a backstage photo with Broadway legends Leslie Odom Jr. and Darren Criss on Monday, after appearing at the Celebration of Rodgers and Hart event at Carnegie Hall in NYC.
The 58-year-old was stunning in a black gown with detailing around the neckline and a thin metallic belt cinching in her waist. She left her famous red locks down in glamorous waves and opted for a smoky eye and vampy red lipstick to complete the look.

“Wow [she] is seriously breathtaking,” said another, while a fourth chimed in: “You look so beautiful with that hair color and lipstick,” and actress Alyssa Milano declared: “You are so beautiful.”
Molly’s beauty routine

“I try lots of different things, but the thing that I use no matter what is retinol,” she explained. “My sister was trained as an aesthetician, and she has always said it’s important, but my skin is very sensitive so it took a while to find one that isn’t irritating.”
As for her makeup, Molly has “always loved” playing around with looks, and sees it as “creative expression” rather than “vanity”.
“I’ve been interested in products from the time I was very young. I’ve just always liked trying new things and experimenting,” she told the publication. “[As a teenager] I really didn’t like my freckles, and I was having teen skin issues. I would take blush and extend it up onto my temples, and my mom would say, ‘Molly is putting pink splotches all over her face!'”

“Although now that she’s 14 she hardly wears any makeup at all, which is funny. But during the pandemic we really got into watching beauty tutorials together, which was a real bonding thing for us.”
Health and wellness

“I’m not as careful as a lot of people in this business. I’m fortunate to have good genes,” she told Parade. “I’m also an active person who knows what I should be eating…I’m a bit of a foodie, but I don’t eat a lot of junk food. I try to eat as healthy and organically as possible and to enjoy what I eat.”
