When people age, their physical bodies change. Their skin gets wrinkly and their hair turns gray. Even the way they walk changes, too!

Fortunately, cameras and photos exist. Without them, we wouldn’t have an idea of how glamorous grandmas and grandpas were during their time. We wouldn’t even have a clue on how they dress!

As a way to look back at how cool and glamorous they were before, here are 20 photos of grandparents looking better than most of us these days.

1. Like a Disney princess

3. In Venice
