‘Wrong Age That Ain’t 50 That’s 40’: Mo’Nique Fans Praise Her for Her Youthful Look While She Embraces Her Aging

Mo’Nique is celebrating her birthday early with another hot look.

The comedian shared a photo of herself wearing an emerald green wrap dress and short golds heels. Along with that, Mo’Nique’s hair was designed in a beautifully curled style with a side part. While it’s hard to tell what her face looked like because she is looking down in the photo, what can be seen is that her overall outfit is stunning.

In the caption, Mo’Nique had a moment with her followers where she discussed embracing her age. “Hey my beautiful sisters,” she wrote, “I will be turning 54 in a few weeks and I am so WELCOMING of all it. Everything that comes with your 50’s. I often times here folks say 50 is the new 30’s or 40’s. Not for me GIVE ME ALL MY 50’s. I still have work to do and I WELCOME THE CHALLENGE. How y’all doing with AGING? I LOVE US 4REAL,”

Many of the followers who read the caption wrote back by responding to her question about aging. One person gushed: “I’ll be 54, in January! The aging is fine, I’m just trying to do it gracefully. Sidenote, I started menopause late, and the transition to find herbs to keep me sane was a task. Now that’s working itself out. I’m happy.”

Someone else wrote, “Happy Birthday Queen. When I turned 50 I felt like I was 25 w/some sense. The 50th Chapter has been ‘Living my Best Life!’ Come on around the corner 60th Life Chapter!”

Another who hasn’t hit 50 just yet said, “47 and loving it all! Growing older..growing bolder is a gift and I treasure it! Looking beautiful from your soul!” Someone else joked, “Wrong age that ain’t 50 that’s 40.”

Mo’Nique has always been a bit of a fashionista since her days on “The Parkers” where she played Nicki Parker. In most of the episodes, she kept her face beat and her hair done, and that has not changed. The only difference is as she has gotten older, Mo’Nique has gotten more serious about her fitness. She has shed around 80 pounds after working out and doing dance routines. Now all anyone can talk about is her amazing figure.

What do you think about her latest outfit?

Still independent.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
