Heather Locklear's Navy Mother-Of-The-Bride Look Is Perfect For Older Women To Copy
Heather Locklear's daughter Ava Elizabeth Sambora, whom she shares with ex-husband and Bon Jovi guitarist Richie Sambora, married her college sweetheart Tyler Farrar in a beautiful outdoor ceremony in Montecito, California, in May 2026. Locklear, who attended the nuptials with her beau Lorenzo Lamas, looked incredible as usual, wearing an elegant yet understated outfit that's just perfect for older women to copy.
The "Melrose Place" actor opted for a navy-blue satin gown featuring an asymmetric halter-neck design with scarf detail — similar to Amanda Uprichard's "Ashton Maxi" satin gown. Not only does the dress prove frumpy mother-of-the-bride or groom looks are a thing of the past, but its close-fitting silhouette and elongated design make it especially flattering on the Hollywood star who's in her mid-60s. She completed her look with a stack of beaded bracelets on one wrist, along with matching strappy heels, while her long, flowing blond hair created the perfect contrast against the gown's dark shade.
In a sweet mother-daughter video shared online by Ava's wedding planner, fans flocked to the comments to praise Locklear's mother-of-the-bride ensemble. "Heather looks incredible, that dress says, I am the mother of the bride, but I still got it! Their daughter and dress looks so classy," one person wrote. Another said, "Heather is looking absolutely beautiful along with her daughter!!" while a third added, "The most beautiful Mother & Bride!"
Heather Locklear's style continues to inspire older women
Heather Locklear has spent her entire career as a beauty and fashion icon. While playing her unforgettable role as Sammy Jo Carrington in the television series "Dynasty," her voluminous, feathered blowout, high-glam beauty looks, and trendy style became iconic hallmarks of '80s fashion.
These days, the screen legend continues to impress people with her more mature fashion sensibilities, as evidenced in her latest venture as a podcast host. While sharing highlights on Instagram about her "What Do You Want?" podcast with co-hosts Jillian Barberie and Nurse Melanie Mancil, the "Money Talks" actor draws in extra accolades for her timeless appearance and stylish talk show wardrobe. Wearing a ruffled, off-the-shoulder mini dress in a Father's Day Instagram post in 2026, Locklear revealed that she copped the look from Free People when a fan curiously inquired, "Heather where did you get that dress!" Meanwhile, another asked, "Where can we get Heather's cowboy boots??"
Besides turning heads in the fashion department, Locklear is constantly lauded for her naturally striking and youthful glow. In a September 2025 Instagram post with her co-hosts, she had fans in disbelief over how great she looked. "Wow. Heather you still look as beautiful as ever" commented one person. Another said, "You all look age defying!" while a third added, "Omg ladies you look stunning and Heather [is] drop dead gorgeous, still as beautiful as you were in Dynasty and TJ Hooker days."
