Julianne Moore takes a retro look but updates it with modern twists.

With the updo, pencil skirt and bracelet-sleeve jacket, Julianne Moore's look could've been too Mad Men-retro. Thankfully, she updated it with adventursome leopard shoes and a giant bow.

One of the most adventurous dressers in our age group is definitely 50-year-old Julianne Moore.

Sometimes she does things like wear crazy fur booties. Then other times she wears something that's classic and puts a new twist on it, like the Mad Men-style black suit in the photo.

This look works because Julianne Moore gave it a flashy twist with an oversized bow, which kept the look for being too stiff or retro (and bows are great for softening the face and adding a youthful touch.)

She also wisely skipped the expected pumps and went with sexy leopard print sandals, a decidedly modern twist.

And although the other details – from her updo to her prim stud earrings to her quilted clutch – were definitely ladylike, the bow and shoes kept it from being too retro.

One of the best things about Julianne's look is that she skipped the "expected" faux tan and showed her bare legs in their natural, glorious freckled state.

See why we think she's such a great fashion icon for 50-somethings?
