A year of MILESTONE Birthdays

Whether they're turning 30 or 80, these stars are set for a big celebration in 2026!

Every birthday is special, but when it's divisible by 10, the celebration somehow feels bigger. As some of our favourite Hollywood and Canadian stars step into a new decade, many are embracing the milestone with renewed confidence.

“I’m just getting started,” Lady Gaga said while accepting the Innovator Award at the 2025 iHeartRadio Music Awards. “Even though the world might consider a woman in her late 30s old for a pop star – which is insane! – I promise I’m just getting warmed up.” The chart-topper will celebrate her 40th this year.

Fellow icon Cher, meanwhile, is turning 80, and has no plans to slow down. “I will still be wearing my jeans, and I will still be wearing long hair, and I will still be doing the same stuff I’ve always done,” the ageless “Believe” singer told Good Morning Britain in 2023.

Canada’s Eugene Levy, also turning 80, attributes his youthful look to a stress-free mindset. “I just block it out!” he joked to Metro.

Here’s to the stars celebrating 30, 40, 50, 60, 70 and 80 – and just getting better with age!

ANYA TAYLOR-JOY

BORN April 16, 1996, in Miami

When it comes to beauty, brains and brawn, Anya has them all. The actress reached global stardom in 2020 with the quirky and dark miniseries The Queen’s Gambit – her role as chess prodigy Beth Harmon snagging her both a Golden Globe and a SAG Award. Since then, she’s been an unstoppable force, starring in films such as The Menu and Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga, using the red carpet to show off her chameleon-like sense of style. Dior took notice, naming the fashion icon a brand ambassador. The partnership, Anya told Harper's Bazaar, is “a love affair that I’m very grateful to be a part of.” When it comes to real-life romance, though, Anya shares her life with musician Malcolm McRae (whom she married in 2022). Notably, he also marks his birthday on April 16!
