THIS legendary eighties pop star has left fans doing a double take as she showed off her youthful looks at a Hollywood event.
Singer-songwriter Susanna Hoffs, 65, was adored by fans in her 1980s heyday, best known as one-quarter of US band The Bangles.

Fast forward 40 years on and the pop sensation is still looking drop dead gorgeous.
She showed off her age-defying looks as she attended the Women’s International Music Network’s 2024 She Rocks Awards at the Anaheim Convention Centre last Thursday.
Susanna looked chic in a leopard print jacket with black trousers and a matching top and a pair of loafers while stepping out at the glam event in Anaheim, California.
The talented musician was all smiles as posed for photos on the red carpet.
She wore her brunette tresses loose and opted for minimal makeup as she put her flawless skin on display.
The singer also drove fans wild after she showcased her fresh-faced looks in an Instagram video to celebrate her 65th birthday earlier this month.
She said in the clip: “I’m 65! Time marches on but it’s all good.
“No makeup. It’s gonna be okay. Getting older is okay it really is. Older and wiser.”
Her fans were quick to compliment her and told her she was ageing like a “fine wine”, with one writing: “‘You are so beautiful inside and out.”
Another posted: “Some people age like a fine wine, you are one of them. Looking absolutely gorgeous.”
Susanna has clearly stumbled across the fountain of youth – boasting a body and smooth skin that any twenty-something would be chuffed with.
She enjoyed huge success with The Bangles, thanks largely to their monster hits Eternal Flame, Manic Monday and Walk Like An Egyptian.
The Los Angeles pop-rock outfit also released five albums – one of which, 1986’s Different Light, went multi-platinum in the US, UK and Canada.
Third album, 1988’s Everything, was their last before they reunited in 2003 – subsequently releasing two collections that failed to set the charts alight, including 2011’s Sweetheart Of The Sun.
In a BBC programme, Susanna revealed she recorded her vocals for Eternal Flame completely naked in the studio.
The reason for this? Because producer Davitt Sigerson told her Olivia Newton John never used to wear clothes when singing behind closed doors – not realising he was playing a prank on her.
Susanna is married to movie director Jay Roach – who made the Austin Powers flicks and Meet The Parents – and the couple have two sons.
As a result of her husband’s Hollywood career, Susanna herself has made several film cameos – including all three of the Mike Myers-starring Austin Powers movies.
