12	->''" I'm pregnant, [=McGee=]. Twins. Haven't told the father yet. It's Gibbs. I know it's wrong, but something about his silver hair gets me all tingly inside."''
13	-->-- '''Abby Sciuto''', ''Series/{{NCIS}}''

15	Age is all in the mind.
16
17	Well, for some people, anyway. Most of us will likely get {{grumpy\|OldMan}}, [[DirtyOldMan perv]][[DirtyOldWoman erted]], or [[WhiteDwarfStarlet past our prime]] and will end up [[CoveringUpYourGray trying anything in order to look younger]].
18
19	But then, there are those who get ''better'' as they age; the ones who still qualify for the 'desirable' tag, even when they're grandparents. These men and women have maintained their dashing good looks, class, and sex appeal despite -- or ''because of'' -- their greying hair.
20
21	Each becomes a Silver Fox. Or, if female, a Silver Vixen.
22
23	A Silver Fox is an attractive, distinguished older (generally over 50) person, often noted for their sexy silver or white hair along with their good looks and charm. Note that this trope is only applicable to characters that look ''visibly old'' -- immortal or ageless characters and characters who are OlderThanTheyLook and resemble young people despite their age don't count. Characters who [[Really700YearsOld live much longer than normal humans]] but are nonetheless past middle age by their species' standard ''do'' count, so long as they're both visibly old and attractive by human standards.

JustForFun/NotToBeConfusedWith either [[VideoGame/TheElderScrollsIVOblivion Gray]] [[VideoGame/MetalGearSolid Fox]] or [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silver_fox_(animal) actual silver foxes]].

29	!!Examples:
30	[[foldercontrol]]
31
32	[[folder:Advertising]]
33	* "Advertising/TheMostInterestingManInTheWorld" mascot for Dos Equis is a grey-haired old man who is always portrayed confidently flanked by beautiful young women when delivering his catchphrase.
34	* Colonel Sanders, mascot of Kentucky Friend Chicken, is often portrayed by rather attractive actors. There's even [[VisualNovel/ILoveYouColonelSanders a dating sim]] featuring him.
35	[[/folder]]
36
37	[[folder:Anime & Manga]]
38	* ''Manga/Acca13TerritoryInspectionDept'' has Chief Officer Grossular, likely above 40, going by his already high position in Acca 13 years prior to the story. And with long hair, at that.
39	* Albert "004" Heinrich in ''Manga/Cyborg009'', specially in the 2001 series where aside from having been in his 30s when cyborgized, he spent decades in cryogenization.
40	* ''Franchise/DragonBall'':
41	** Bulma is this in the end of ''Anime/DragonBallZ'' and ''Anime/DragonBallGT''. Not technically a grandmother, but she has aged and ''still'' looks great. Also Future Bulma in ''Anime/DragonBallZTheHistoryOfTrunks'' and ''Anime/DragonBallSuper''. Although not played for fanservice in the least, Future Bulma exudes an aura of gentle dignity, warmth, compassion, love, and kindness that makes her ''the'' most beautiful and adorable incarnation of her character to date in spite of being in her early 60s.
42	** Chi-Chi still looks good after her granddaughter Pan is born. It's more obvious when she doesn't do her hair up in a bun.
43	* ''Manga/{{Freezing}}'': Sister Margaret Lindman is middle-aged, but has quite a luscious body as seen in an OVA where she is subjected to TheNudifier and everyone, [[EvenTheGirlsWantHer including women]], gawk at her.
44	* ''Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventure'':
45	** Esidisi from ''[[Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventureBattleTendency Battle Tendency]]'', even compared to the rest of the [[OurVampiresAreDifferent Pillar Men]], who can live for thousands of years, is a senior. However, being a Pillar Man, he is a ''mighty'' senior who still gave Joseph a tough fight after his month-long TrainingFromHell.
46	** Joseph Joestar during ''[[Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventureStardustCrusaders Stardust Crusaders]]'', who, despite being 69, still possesses a muscular physique due to the age-slowing effects of the [[PowerOfTheSun Ripple]]. However, by ''[[Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventureDiamondIsUnbreakable Diamond is Unbreakable]]'', at just shy of 80, age has finally caught up with him, leaving him elderly and senile.
47	** Likewise, Joseph's wife, Suzi Q, is shown to still have quite the figure, even as an old lady.
48	* ''Manga/MoriartyThePatriot'': Jack is the oldest of the Moriarty crew, with long silver hair that even is commented on by some of the young women who see him as a "distinguished gray" and implied to look like the hero of a romance novel, despite his age.
49	* ''Manga/OnePiece'':
50	** Doctor Kureha is close to 140 years old, and though [[OlderThanTheyLook her face looks like someone in their 70s]], [[{{Butterface}} her body is far more attractive]]. It helps that she dresses like a teenage girl.
51	** The [[RedBaron Dark King]] [[MentorArchetype Silver Rayleigh]] (76) deserves a mention. His wife Shakuyaku (62) is another [[OlderThanTheyLook trope]].
52	* ''Literature/Overlord2012'': Sebas Tian certainly looks the part as a charming elder gentleman with impeccable manners and hair apparently silvered with age. The subversion is that he is originally a computer game NPC and thus technically only three years old.
53	* In ''Manga/PrivateActress'', the 50-something actor Masakazu Ogata [[spoiler:(aka Shiho's father, who [[LockedOutOfTheLoop doesn't know about her]] until the second half of the story)]] is famous for three things. One, his genuine acting skills. Two, his womanizing. Three, how '''beautifully''' he has aged.
54	* ''Manga/RistoranteParadiso'': The main cast consists of men in their fifties or older. All of them are regarded as quite handsome by their customers, Olga and Nicoletta.
55	* ''Manga/SkullFaceBooksellerHondaSan'': The first episode has the title character interacting with a very handsome, English-speaking gray-haired man. Much awkwardness ensues when he tries to buy an [[{{Hentai}} erotic]] {{doujinshi}}, which isn't available at the bookstore.
56	* ''Manga/YandereKanojo'' has Manabu's grandfather, who is portrayed as absurdly charming. It's also implied that he still successfully bar hops for women.
57	[[/folder]]
58
59	[[folder:Comic Books]]
60	* [[DependingOnTheArtist Depending on the art style]], Commissioner Gordon from ''Franchise/{{Batman}}'' can be quite the Silver Fox.
61	* ''ComicBook/XMen'':
62	** ComicBook/{{Magneto}}. Not so much when he first appeared, as a typical crazy '60s villain, but in the '80s, once he'd been de-aged to a child then re-aged to adulthood, and gained a sense of composure and dignity about himself, very much so. He routinely scores with women a quarter to half his age.
63	** Cyclops and Havok's space-faring father Corsair is consistently portrayed as a dashing swashbuckler who isn't the least bit bothered by age.
64	** While ComicBook/{{Cable}} is generally unconcerned with his appearance, the years have been very kind to him in this regard - as they will be to his half-brother and counterpart, [[ComicBook/XMan Nate Grey]], who's identical to a young Cable and per a possible future, will continue to look exactly like him. The Summers family has good genes, apparently.
65	* ''ComicBook/EastOfWest'' has Antonia [=LeVay=], the president of the Union. Despite having some clear lines on her face and grey streaks on the side of her head, she's a very beautiful woman who wears a dress [[NavelDeepNeckline that reveals her cleavage down to her navel]] and has slits on the side that shows off her legs.
66	* ''ComicBook/GoldDigger''
67	** Julia Diggers is in her 50s but looks very good for her age due to constantly working out ''before'' getting an effective age downgrade. The regression showed she hasn't aged much since her 30s.
68	** Theodore is in good shape, despite being older than Julia and not getting the same age-down. And that's only his physical body- in his Aura form, he looks like an ''Olympian god''.
69	* ''ComicBook/TheSavageDragon'' brings us [[OldSoldier Superpatriot]], whom the young and exceedingly hot [[MostCommonSuperpower Dart]] found sexy enough that she once sighed and commented "if only he were thirty years younger...". She later wound up in bed with [[LoveFatherLoveSon his similar-looking yet naive son]], Justice.
70	* Since ComicBook/JudgeDredd's timeline progresses at a 1:1 rate with real time, Psi Judge Anderson has been a street judge for at least 35 years, placing her in her early 50s. As a Psi Judge, she doesn't take the age-slowing drugs available to regular Judges and is still consistently depicted as a very attractive woman who is frequently hit on by men half her age.
71	* ''ComicBook/{{Circles}}'': Despite being over 50, some people find Paulie very attractive, especially Douglas who marries him.
72	* The ''Old Lady Harley'' miniseries has ''ComicBook/HarleyQuinn'' as an AntiHero trying to survive in a ''Film/MadMax''-esque post-apocalyptic world. While she's around 50-60 she's still quite attractive.
73	* ComicBook/{{Superman}} in ''ComicBook/SupermanAndTheAuthority'' looks to be at least late-middle-aged, with graying temples and noticeably declining superpowers. Despite this, he's a very clear MrFanservice, with panels dedicated to showing off his sweaty, muscular body after a workout.
74	* ComicBook/{{Deathstroke}} is sometimes drawn as being this, especially in the 2016 run where he's a MrFanservice and regularly shown shirtless.
75	* ''ComicBook/SpiderMan'':
76	** As CharacterizationMarchesOn Peter Parker's Aunt May goes from sickly, old woman to CoolOldLady who is a DudeMagnet among men her age. [[DependingOnTheArtist Modern artists depict her in a way more stylish and good-looking manor than in the classical comics]]. It's also more played straight in alternate continuities like ''ComicBook/UltimateSpiderMan2000'' or modern adaptations like ''WesternAnimation/UltimateSpiderMan2012''.
77	** May's fiancée, J. Jonah Jameson Sr., definitely qualifies too, being quite handsome for his age and proudly showing off his grey hair.
78	* ''ComicBook/AdamLegendOfTheBlueMarvel'': The titular hero is in his seventies in the series, and yet looks like a man barely in his fifties thanks to his superpowers slowing his aging. Later appearances of Adam have him starting a relationship with the ''much'' younger Monica Rambeau (typical superhero early 30s).
79	[[/folder]]
80
81	[[folder:Fan Works]]
82	* ''Fanfic/ABriefHistoryOfEquestria'': Commander Hurricane was pushing fifty during the first Hearth's Warming and was still considered a desirable partner by the mares of the Celestine Junta. He married Clover, [[MayDecemberRomance who was less than half his age]], when he was almost ''sixty''.
83	* ''Fanfic/ABrighterDark'': Yukimura is one of the oldest major characters on the Hoshidan side, but (a completely hungover) Corrin still finds him attractive enough to want to bed.
84	* ''Fanfic/ChildOfTheStorm'':
85	** Magneto, as per canon. While he was de-aged somewhat in the mysterious 'Krakoa Incident', he's still grey-haired and in his 70s, and Carol notes that he's "kind of hot in an older guy sort of way."
86	** Alison Carter is noted to be this - despite being in her 60s, she looks closer to someone in their late 40s who kept fit and aged gracefully. [[spoiler: And that's with the aging make-up on. She's a SuperSoldier, with either drastically slowed or a more or less non-existent aging process, having hit her mid to late twenties and stayed there.]]
87	** Alison's children, Jack O'Neill and Marie Danvers, are both noted to be attractive: Marie closely resembles an older version of her daughter, Carol (who [[SheCleansUpNicely cleans up nicely enough]] to compete with a young Wonder Woman and Fleur Delacour for belle of the ball). Jack, meanwhile, went grey in his early forties Carol's faintly squicked when she sees Noriko (a girl her age), crushing on him. It's implied not to be the first time, either.
88	** Also Frigga, who's in the equivalent age category (she's about 3500 years old, which is the Asgardian equivalent of late 50s), is noted as being remarkably beautiful.
89	* ''Fanfic/EmpathTheLuckiestSmurf'': In "Empath's Wedding", Flowerbell the woodnymph still comments on Papa Smurf's looks like this.
90	* ''Fanfic/{{Exoria}}'': Director Leonore is noted to be around her fifties, but still being fairly beautiful.
91	* ''Fanfic/GaemonTheDragonSteelsGuideToNotDyingHorribly'': Corlys Velarion is in his early sixties, yet the first time Gaemon sees him he cant help but lick his lips and ogle while internally commenting that a man that old has no business being that hot.
92	* ''Fanfic/HeroTheGuardianSmurf'': Smurfette holds onto her beautiful form even when she has silver hair.
93	* ''Fanfic/JonathanJoestarTheFirstJoJo'': Older Joseph had been commented about his physique.
94	* ''Fanfic/{{Kaleidoscope}}'': Minako, Yuuri's ballet teacher and later handler, was his mom's teacher, but she looks younger and more attractive than his sister.
95	* ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/26868238/chapters/101051004 The Magic Touch]]'': Nana Shimura is sixty years old by the time Izuku enters UA but is stated to have the poise and vigor of a woman half her age, with Mineta outright calling her a gilf.
96	* ''Fanfic/OrangeRoseGathering'': Being grandparent age doesn't prevent Drayden and Drasna from being in the swimsuit magazine Lita and Chloe read.
97	* ''Fanfic/PokemonResetBloodlines'': It's mentioned that Elite Four Drasna, a grey-haired middle-aged woman, willingly posed for a swimsuit calendar along with other quite attractive trainers like Cynthia, Lorelei, and Diantha.
98	* ''Fanfic/RomansEmpire'': Violet Kincaid is a woman in her late fifties. She's also walking sex appeal even in her old age. She's still attractive enough [[MrsRobinson to get multiple young lovers]]. Even Roman has to admit that she's attractive. And even after the TimeSkip when she's in her sixties, she's still a bombshell.
99	* ''Fanfic/SoICanSeeMyBabyWhenILeaveThisWorld'': Veronica thinks that JD's graying hair in the last chapter just makes him look more distinguished, and is sure he'll end up like this when he's old.
100	* ''Fanfic/ValesUnderground'':
101	** Mercury can't deny that Salem is attractive, even in her 60s. Then again, he LikesOlderWomen.
102	** Age does not seem to have diminished Mr. and Mrs. Belladonna's sex appeal.
103	[[/folder]]
104
105	[[folder:Films -- Animation]]
106	* Aladdin's father Cassim in ''WesternAnimation/AladdinAndTheKingOfThieves'' is an older man with greying hair but is still extremely handsome and charming. It is easy to see where Aladdin gets these traits from. When he meets his future daughter-in-law, she even notes how similar they are.
107	* King Arthur in ''WesternAnimation/{{Camelot}}'' remains good-looking and adorable (with a childlike face) when he gets older, in spite of all the work he has. After his revival in Avalon, his hair returns to brown.
108	* While some find him [[DirtyOldMan sleazy]] and [[StalkerWithACrush appalling]] (and highly racist and an AbusiveDad on top of that), a lot of fans find [[HangingJudge Judge]] [[SinisterMinister Claude Frollo]] from ''WesternAnimation/{{The Hunchback of Notre Dame\|Disney}}'' sexy in many ways, from his [[VillainousCheekbones sharp]] facial features, to his [[DeadpanSnarker dry and snarky]] personality. So, he can be qualified as this for also having white hair.
109	* ''WesternAnimation/TheLittleMermaid1989'': King Triton is a very muscular older merman, and apart from the fact that his hair has gone white, he doesn’t look any different from his younger self as seen in ''WesternAnimation/TheLittleMermaidArielsBeginning''. In that movie, two women are seen flirting with Triton (both in the past and the present).
110	[[/folder]]
111
112	[[folder:Films -- Live-Action]]
113	* ''Film/BlueBeetle2023'': [[CorruptCorporateExecutive Victoria]] is a glamorous and well-kept older woman. Even Milagro finds her attractive, in a way she describes as "[[Franchise/OneHundredAndOneDalmatians Cruella]]-[[Series/KeepingUpWithTheKardashians Kardashian]]", despite not being fond of her.
114	* [[AmoralAttorney Billy Flynn]] from ''Film/{{Chicago}}'' is a quintessential example of this. Being played by Creator/RichardGere helps.
115	* The 1962 film ''Film/MrHobbsTakesAVacation'': Mrs. Peggy Hobbs. Brought up when a Swedish bombshell (Marika) is trying to make some moves on the eponymous character, Roger, and he turns her down, and then she sees the wife (Creator/MaureenOHara) after learning they have 3 grandchildren.
116	--> '''Swedish Girl:''' That's a grandma?\
117	'''Roger Hobbs:''' 36-26-36 and still operating.
118	* In the spoof film, ''Film/EpicMovie'', this trope is parodied somewhat as a parody of Mystique becomes one (to the main character anyway...). During the party before the final battle, a parody of Mystique seductively tells the main character Peter that him being king is "so hot", before pulling him into the tent to have sex with him. She throws him down on the bed and starts making out with him while on top. Since she's a shapeshifter, she asks him what he'd like her to shapeshift into. He at first requests [[BreastExpansion bigger breasts]] and a larger ass, followed by the request of a badonkadonk. However, he takes it back for a "Monobrow" (A unibrow). After that, he requests "Big Flabby Grandma Arms" which he really seems happy about. This disgusts Mystique, but he insists, now referring to them as "Bingo Wings like a fat blue Britney Spears". She morphs into a fat blue old grandma and he drools at the sight of it and he pulls her down to make out. She falls on top of him and she starts to make love to him. [[ChubbyChaser And he's totally into it.]] So even if the audience doesn't view her as beautiful, Peter certainly finds the grandma arms to be a turn-on...
119	-->Peter: (Visibly drooling) Now that's what I'm talking about...\
120	(Cut to her all fat, old, and flabby flapping her bingo wings)\
121	Peter: ...Come here!\
122	(We zoom in on her face as she wiggles her tongue and he pulls her down to make out with her.)
123	* ''Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse'':Creator/JohnSlattery is used to give Howard Stark this for any appearances he makes canonically set between [[Film/AvengersEndgame the]] [[Film/IronMan2 mid-1970s]] and his death on [[Film/CaptainAmericaCivilWar December 16, 1991]].
124	* Theoden in ''Film/LordOfTheRings'' after his curse is lifted, played by Creator/BernardHill. Not only does he have a nice mix of silver and gold hair, and handsome features only accentuated by laugh lines, but also a perfect mix of dignity and emotional vulnerability.
125	* ''Film/TheDevilWearsPrada'': Miranda is visibly graying with pure white hair, but she is still presented as incredibly good looking for her age, especially with her great fashion sense.
126	[[/folder]]
127
128	[[folder:Literature]]
129	* ''Literature/SongInTheSilence'': When Akhor the Silver King of the [[OurDragonsAreDifferent Kantri]] becomes human, he has long silver hair. His age then is indeterminate, but his eyes show something of his thousand-year life. His LoveInterest is all over him in this form, and he's all over her; otherwise people don't note if he's attractive... except that one human friend of his who gets hugged notes in the narration that she can't help but notice that he smells amazing.
130	* In ''Literature/{{Hurog}}'', Alizon, the king's bastard brother, is described as this. The ladies of the court apparently compare him to a wolf, not a fox, but the thought is the same.
131	* ''Literature/KnownSpace'': The protagonist of "A Relic of the Empire" had lost his fortune and become middle-aged before he recovered enough to afford [[ImmortalityInducer boosterspice]] again and regain his physical youth. He realized that he'd actually had more success with the ladies with some grey in his hair, and started dyeing it back in.
132	* Walt Comeau, one of the antagonists of ''Literature/EmpireFalls'', tries to invoke this. He's also a SmugSnake and hiding numerous secrets, including his age (10 years older than he claims) and ramshackle personal finances.
133	* ''Literature/SisterhoodSeries'': Myra Rutledge and Countess Anne "Annie" Ryland de Silva. Both of them are in their 60s and heading on to 70s. Make no mistake, they are old enough to be your grandmother, and they are incredibly sexy! In fact, ''Weekend Warriors'' has Nikki Quinn and Barbara Rutledge commenting that Myra looks better at 60 plus years old than they do at 30 plus years old. Now that's hotness!
134	* ''Literature/TheBelgariad'': Belgarath is an ElderlyImmortal who looks to be somewhere in his seventies. Right up until he takes off his shirt, demonstrating that while he may have looked seventy-something for the last five thousand years, and may have a taste for booze and rich food, he is ''ripped''. Liselle is very impressed by what she sees, and becomes embarrassed when she's teased for it.
135	* ''Literature/KinseyMillhone'': The eponymous character definitely thinks her landlord Henry, who is around eighty, is very sexy.
136	* Lady Abigail Irene Garrett in ''[[Literature/NewAmsterdamBNew Amsterdam]]'' is around 50 when we meet her, and is definitely still a sexually vibrant woman.
137	* The ''Literature/BookOfGenesis'', Sarah is described as the WorldsMostBeautifulWoman well into her old age.
138	* In Creator/HarryHarrison's ''Literature/TheStainlessSteelRat'' series, the beautiful and lethal Angelina becomes a grandmother. And remains lethal.
139	* In ''Literature/{{Poltava}}'' by Creator/AlexanderPushkin, Maria is deeply in love with her elderly godfather Mazeppa (or rather the person [[LovingAShadow she believes him to be]]) and mentions his white hair as one of the traits that attract her.
140	* Referenced in ''Literature/TheStormlightArchive''. When [[MasterOfIllusion Shallan]] creates illusory disguises, she makes her fiance Adolin a handsome old man. Kaladin describes him as the kind of man who makes women think they like older men when they actually prefer him.
141	* In ''Literature/InfiniteJest'', to the Incandenza boys' consternation their silver-haired widowed mother Avril is sexually compelling not only to men of her age, but to their very own peers--including [[spoiler:John "No Relation" Wayne, with whom she is carrying on an affair]].
142	* Stella Hawthorne of ''Literature/GhostStory'' is explicitly described as a 60-year-old grey-haired woman who remains intensely attractive to virtually every man in the entire town of Milburn, of every age.
143	* ''Literature/SmallWorldTabithaKingNovel'': Though pushing fifty, Dolly is still a looker with a fabulous figure and snow-white hair.
144	* ''Literature/TheAdrienEnglishMysteries'': Adrien's mother [[OnlyOneName Lisa]] is old enough to have a son in his thirties from his first marriage. Despite that, she is portrayed as a very imposing and beautiful woman.
145	[[/folder]]
146
147	[[folder:Live-Action TV]]
148	* ''Series/{{Alphas}}'': Several different older women are shown swooning in Dr. Lee Rosen's presence.
149	* ''Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer'' Rupert Giles had a huge following amongst fangirls (and female Buffy Website/YouTube reactors) with Willow, Faith, Anya and even gold star lesbian Tara professing an attraction to him - in three of those cases, [[ArousedByTheirVoice after they heard him singing]].
150	* ''Series/CobraKai'': Since thirty years have passed since the ''Karate Kid'' trilogy, John Kreese's hair has gone gray and he still as ruthless a karate fighter as well in his mid-70s. While Terry Silver, who had slick black hair in ''Film/TheKarateKidPartIII'', [[StealthPun now literally has silver hair]] when he is introduced in season 4. This also serves to make him look much older than his actor, since although Silver is meant to be close in age to Kreese, [[UnderageCasting Thomas Ian Griffith is actually a few months younger than]] Creator/RalphMacchio, who plays Daniel [=LaRusso=] in his late 50s.
151	* Gil Grissom, ''Series/{{CSI}}''. Even [[spoiler:his future wife]], Sara, drops a line about finding grey hair sexy, while he's in the room, no less. The silver fox look is even more evident in his 12th season cameo, where William Peterson wasn't coloring his hair quite as much and it was more natural-looking.
152	* The Third Doctor from ''Series/DoctorWho''. True, One could be very charming when he wanted to be, but he still looked every day of his apparent age (One being deliberately played as older than Creator/WilliamHartnell, who was in his mid-50s). Creator/PatrickTroughton as Two was far from unappealing and had his charms, but hardly had a single strand of silver in his thick black mop. However, Creator/JonPertwee as Three managed to be an old guy with a very snappy sense of style (both in fashion and demeanour), looked and acted very fit for his age and generally made being old look good. Perhaps unsurprisingly, he was one of the real-life bases for James Bond.
153	** Creator/PeterCapaldi as Twelve definitely qualifies.
154	** Alex Kingston, playing River Song, is almost 20 years older than Creator/MattSmith, and was 45 when she originated the role. Yet, she's charming, charismatic, and at some point, she becomes the Doctor's LoveInterest. Interestingly, River's last appearance on the show to date [[spoiler: establishes the aforementioned Twelfth Doctor as the incarnation who truly returns her love, as he's gained the needed emotional maturity to do so by that point]].
155	* ''Series/MadMen'':
156	** Roger Sterling, played by Creator/JohnSlattery. The name might be a StealthPun. He's definitely intended to be young for a man with pure white hair; he served in the Navy in World War II and was apparently a small child in the 1920s, so he's no older than 45ish when the series starts in 1960.
157	** Henry Francis, Betty's second husband is at least 15 years older and has an already married daughter but still quite the catch.
158	* ''Series/ThirtyRock'': The series makes reference to Creator/HelenMirren in a bikini, prompting Liz to say "It's not possible, what is she, a wizard?" This refers to then-recent paparazzi images of 60-something Mirren looking incredible in a bikini someone half her age might be hesitant to wear.
159	%%** Jack.
160	* Gibbs from ''Series/{{NCIS}}''. Ziva is not convinced. "And it's not like you guys are going ''gray''!" [[RightBehindMe Gibbs is standing behind her.]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dJqZNYX_jGM&feature=player_detailpage#t=64s "Gray can be... really sexy."]]
161	-->'''Abby:''' I'm pregnant, [=McGee=]. Twins. Haven't told the father yet. It's Gibbs. I know it's wrong, but something about his silver hair gets me all tingly inside.\
162	'''Tony:''' ''[walks in]'' Excuse me for a second, I think I'm going to vomit.\
163	'''Abby:''' I'm joking, Tony. Except for that part about Gibbs's hair. That ''is'' really hot.\
164	'''Abby:''' Correct as always, my silver-haired fox. ...I mean, Gibbs, sir, boss.
165	%%** Tony's father also qualifies.
166	* Colonel, later General, Jack O'Neill on ''Series/StargateSG1'', who despite having gone grey by Season 3, never had any trouble getting female attention, InUniverse and out.
167	* DI Lestrade from ''Series/{{Sherlock}}''.
168	* ''Series/PersonOfInterest'': Reese is well on his way to being one. Lampshaded by Wendy the hairstylist in "Number Crunch". Also in the episode "4C".
169	-->"That salt and pepper thing's like catnip to soccer moms."
170	* Discussed in the ''Series/StarTrekVoyager'' episode "Shattered" by the recurring villain Seska, who has a VillainousCrush on Commander Chakotay.
171	-->'''Seska:''' Men just get more distinguished as they get older. A few lines here, a little grey there, it adds character. Too bad their minds start to go.
172	* In ''Series/{{Friends}}'', Phoebe refers to Ralph Lauren as a "silver fox". The bulk of her plot of that episode is her thinking she made out with him -- but it was just the (much younger!) Kenny the copy guy.
173	* ''Series/TheGreatBritishBakeOff'': Paul "The Silverback" Hollywood is a classic example. Exploited both by the show's producers--who insert long, lingering close-ups of his piercing blue gaze at every possible opportunity--and, in slightly less reverent fashion, by the hosts.
174	-->'''Sue:''' Now this week's recipe is Paul's, and it's one that's very close to his heart.\
175	'''Mel:''' Yup, nestled right in under his chest hair.
176	* Adam from ''Series/TheThickOfIt''. Apparently he's aware of it, too; he says he entered politics "for the pussy." Malcolm Tucker (Creator/PeterCapaldi, as mentioned above) in the later seasons counts too. Neither is very nice, but that doesn't seem to faze their following.
177	* Invoked in ''Series/TrueBlood''. Sam Merlotte with his greying hair is almost certainly over 40; he begins dating 22-year-old Nicole and her mother quickly objects due to the age difference. She reminds Nicole of her age then turns to Sam and says disparagingly, "And how old are you, ''silver fox''?" Even after they make amends (largely due to [[ShotgunWedding Nicole being pregnant]]), "Silver Fox" becomes the mother's IronicNickname for him.
178	* Patsy Stone from ''Series/AbsolutelyFabulous''. Her age is north of 70 at the beginning of the show in the early 90s, yet she ReallyGetsAround, having no trouble finding much younger boyfriends. Another reason is having essentially been mummified since the early 70s as a result of massive drug abuse.
179	* Fiona Goode from ''Series/AmericanHorrorStoryCoven'' is considered quite attractive and is stated to be quite beautiful in her first scene. However, [[VainSorceress she isn't satisfied]] with being this trope and tries desperately to become younger and [[ImmortalitySeeker immortal]].
180	* ''Series/CoronationStreet'' - sexpot Liz [=McDonald=] became a grandmother in her early fifties and was entered into a 'Glamorous Granny' competition (which she won).
181	* Bree van de Kamp from in ''Series/DesperateHousewives'' is coming from the attractive mother territory to this one. Reinforced and {{Lampshaded}}, in both ways, when, at the same time, she begins her menopause (the grandma side) and gets involved with the handsome, well-built, and 15 years younger Keith (the hot side).
182	* ''Series/DrQuinnMedicineWoman'': Dorothy was an older and very attractive woman, estranged from her abusive husband and later widowed. She's courted by her brother-in-law Loren Bray and much younger man Jake Slicker, who initiated their MayDecemberRomance. Dorothy's old age is marked when she thinks she's pregnant but she's in fact beginning menopause.
183	* One audition on ''Italy's Got Talent'' was a Japanese septuagenarian with a background in opera and theatre. For this performance, she chose something a little more modern... [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R_tjCib_viY pole-dancing]].
184	* ''Series/MagnificentCentury'': Ayse Hafsa Sultan, the Valide Sultan, has been occasionally complimented for her beauty in her old age. On her deathbed, her daughter Hatice includes her beautiful face when admiring her traits, and even Hürrem tells her that her beauty was one of her traits that she admired before Hafsa became hostile to her.
185	* ''My Grandmother's Ravioli'': due to the nature of the show, Mo Rocca finds himself meeting with a veritable full spectrum of grandmothers, ranging from the matronly to the lovely. But one particular episode stands out. It turns out that the grandmother in question started her family young, and her children did as well. Which makes her technically a grandmother at the age of 52, and still ''stunning'' at that.
186	* In the ''Series/MysteryScienceTheater3000'' episode featuring ''Film/TheMagicSword'', Crow ends up dumping his infatuation towards Creator/KimCatrall in favor of Creator/EstelleWinwood, grossing out Tom Servo when Crow creates a Love Song about her.
187	* ''Series/{{Oz}}'': The reaction of many inmates towards the 60-something Sister Peter Marie. A small group actually voted her the hottest woman in the prison.
188	* ''Series/SabrinaTheTeenageWitch'' introduces Aunt Irma in Season 6, played by Barbara Eden (who was in her 70s at the time) and with a very HotWitch appearance. Season 7 confirms her age as being over 2000 years old. In one episode she asks Harvey to answer truthfully if she's an attractive woman. He responds [[ExactWords "on the outside"]], as she's a bit of an EvilMatriarch.
189	* ''Series/{{Scrubs}}'': JD has sex with a new grandmother (her daughter was a patient, for the delivery), who easily fits the category in "My Best Moment".
190	* Gemma from ''Series/SonsOfAnarchy'', enough to be checked out and commented on by the much younger Prospect, Half-Sack.
191	* Paul Lassiter's mother in ''Series/SpinCity''. Paul is baffled by all the attention she gets until Carter gets him to take a real look at her:
192	-->'''Paul:''' Oh my god! OH MY GOD! I just checked out my ''mother''!\
193	'''Carter:''' And?\
194	'''Paul:''' She's a ''smoking hottie!''
195	* Mona Robinson from ''Series/WhosTheBoss'' is Angela's mother and the sexpot of the show (while it's not clear exactly how old Mona is supposed to be, the actress who played her was in her mid-50s when the show started and over 60 by the time it ended).
196	* Dennis Stanton on ''Series/MurderSheWrote''. A GentlemanThief [[RecruitingTheCriminal turned insurance investigator]], the silver-haired Stanton is still extremely fit and physically active, and is never anything less than debonair and charming in his interactions with women.
197	* In ''Series/{{Gotham}}'', the man who killed Bruce Wayne's parents ''can't remember'' who they were, and it takes a few details before he can remember the exact moments, right, "real 'silver fox' type" (where Martha is the one where "the pearls went everywhere...").
198	* ''Series/TheExpanse'': United Nations Deputy Undersecretary [[spoiler:(later Secretary General)]] Chrisjen Avasarala is a very well-kept senior citizen. Amos definitely appreciates her.
199	-->'''Amos Burton:''' How did she look?
200	-->'''James Holden:''' She looked fine.
201	-->'''Amos Burton:''' No, I mean, what was she wearing?
202	-->'''James Holden:''' ...It's good to be back.
203	** There's also this exchange:
204	-->'''Amos Burton:''' You and I have very different life experiences, Chrissie.
205	-->'''Chrisjen Avasarala:''' Don't call me that. I'm a member of Parliament, not your favourite stripper.
206	-->'''Amos Burton:''' You could be both.
207	* Captain Jean-Luc Picard from ''Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration'' has this trope in spades, albeit having switched out the traditional silver hair for a bald look. Patrick Stewart was in his late forties when the show started and early sixties by the time they wrapped up the last movie, but his classical charm and dignified air wowed plenty of characters and viewers. Among Picard's potential suitors over the course of the series are HospitalHottie Doctor Crusher, AdventurerArchaeologist Vash, [[AbhorrentAdmirer unsubtle-cougar-on-the-prowl Lwaxanna Troi,]] and the Voice Of The Collective herself, [[HiveQueen The Borg Queen.]] What's especially impressive is that the more conventionally attractive Marina Sirtis and Jonathan Frakes were used for more standard fanservice, but Stewart managed to get just as much attention from the viewers, if not more.
208	* ''Series/MixedIsh'': Paul's dad Harrison middle-aged but handsome and charming, with a string of younger girlfriends (having money [[GoldDigger probably helps]] too). In fact, he's a literal example, because his gray hair looks silver.
209	* ''Series/WomensMurderClub'': Jacobi has noticeably greying hair, but this does very little to stop his luck with the ladies. Multiple episodes show that he is able to easily woo women.
210	* ''Series/TheResident'' has brilliant surgeon Dr Randolph Bell, played by the sixty-something, silver-and-gray-haired Creator/BruceGreenwood. Not only did Greenwood have the fangirls swooning, but Bell got a slow-burning [[OneTrueLove romance]] with the equally brilliant orthopedic surgeon Dr Kit Voss, played by Creator/JaneLeeves -- who, it must be noted, has matured like top-shelf whisky since her days on ''Frasier''.
211	* ''Series/AbbottElementary'': Both Melissa and Barbara are visibly older than the other teachers, but that doesn't stop them from being gorgeous, something that the work points out repeatedly, especially in regards to Melissa, with multiple outfits designed to show off her curves.
212	-->'''Melissa''' (to '''Barbara'''): My opinion - you've gotten better with age, like good wine and Creator/StanleyTucci.
213	[[/folder]]
214
215	[[folder:Music]]
216	* While ''StacysMom'' by Music/FountainsOfWayne isn't this trope, WordOfGod says [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stacy%27s_Mom#Background it was inspired by]] a childhood friend who felt this way about the author's ''grand''mother.
217	* Charlie Rich, the vastly-talented, multi-genre stylist of the 1970s whose primary style was country (and best known for songs like "Behind Closed Doors" and "The Most Beautiful Girl"), was nicknamed The Silver Fox.
218	[[/folder]]
219
220	[[folder:Pro Wrestling]]
221	* Wrestling/KevinNash, known as "Big Sexy" for over sixteen years and still, in his own words, "built like a god!", was once called "the Silver Fox" as an alternate RedBaron in Wrestling/{{TNA}} due to his grey hair.
222	* Although she wasn't a grandmother yet, Eric Bischoff had a little storyline where he seduced Linda [=McMahon=] and seemed genuinely attracted to her.
223	[[/folder]]
224
225	[[folder:Radio]]
226	* ''Radio/BleakExpectations:''
227	** Series BigBad Mr. Benevolent (age undisclosed, but played by Anthony Head) manages to charm several women through the course of the series, including ninety-three at ''once'', and eventually maybe even his own nemesis.
228	** Sir Phillip Bin, the older Pip Bin who narrates the series. When his wife Ripely, who's got something of a wandering body, catches a glimpse of him she tells Pip that if ''that'' is what he looks like in old age, she'll seriously consider staying with him.
229
230	[[/folder]]
231
232	[[folder:Sports]]
233	* For the 2017 Player's Weekend, [[UsefulNotes/{{Baseball}} Major League Baseball]] players got to choose nicknames for the backs of their jerseys. Chase Utley chose "Silver Fox" for his, at the suggestion of teammate Corey Seager.
234	[[/folder]]
235
236	[[folder:Tabletop Games]]
237	* In the ''TabletopGame/BattleTech'' universe, Natasha Kerensky was quickly established as a sphere-wide sex symbol when the Wolf's Dragoons arrived on the scene in 3004. She retained this status until her death in 3057 at the age of 84.
238	[[/folder]]
239
240	[[folder:Video Games]]
241	* ''Franchise/AssassinsCreed'': Ezio in ''VideoGame/AssassinsCreedRevelations''. He's 53 and still running around performing rooftop acrobatics and charming his new love interest, who's almost 20 years younger than he is.
242
243	* ''VideoGame/Borderlands3'': Zane may be getting up there in years, but the ladies are still interested - several enemies refer to him as a 'pretty boy'. In the ''Guns, Love, and Tentacles'' DLC, he mentions that he's a three-time 'Galaxy's Sexiest Hitman' winner, which is no small feat in a setting like this one.
244
245	* ''VideoGame/CookieRunKingdom'' has [[HardboiledDetective Almond Cookie]], from the Magical Emergency Handling division, also part-time professor at Parfaedia Institute.
246	* ''VideoGame/Cyberpunk2077'' has a number of them, due to this being a sci-fi universe where the rich can buy rejuvenation treatments and implants to make themselves look younger.
247	** Rogue Amendiares is the city's top Fixer. She's about 80, with long, flowing grey hair and wrinkles. You can take her out on a date in one of the sidequests.
248	** One of the love interests for [[MayDecemberRomance the 27-year-old V]], [[TheRockstar rockerboy]] Kerry Eurodyne is about 80-90, but looks very well for his age, sporting a full head of grey hair.
249	** Nancy/Bes Isis Heartley is a journalist [[IntrepidReporter still working in the field]]. She's about the same age as Kerry but looks to be in her late fifties due to long, grey hair and wrinkles.
250
251	* [[AwesomeAussie Australian]] Task Force 29 director Jim Miller, of ''VideoGame/DeusExMankindDivided'', is in his late forties and graying at the sides but still has a rugged, handsome look to him and looks quite suave in [[http://deusex.wikia.com/wiki/Jim_Miller?file=Miller_trailer.png his off-mission suit]]. It helps that, according to WordOfGod, his appearance was based on [[Creator/RutgerHauer Roy Batty]] from ''Film/BladeRunner''.
252	* Dante himself certainly counts as of ''VideoGame/DevilMayCry5'', moreso after shaving that scraggly beard off.
253	** And we can add [[spoiler:Vergil]] to the list too.
254	* ''Franchise/DragonAge'':
255	** Wynne from ''VideoGame/DragonAgeOrigins'', Zevran doesn't hesitate to flirt with her and comment on her "magical bosom". Wynne, who's old enough to be his grandmother, is not amused. [[TheAlcoholic Oghren]] and even (in a DLC) Alistair flirt with her, too. For what it's worth, Wynne implies that she's not above taking a younger man to bed.
256	** First-Enchanter Orsino of ''VideoGame/DragonAgeII'' (though he's apparently a bit younger than he looks). The fighting chops he shows against the qunari don't hurt.
257	** Flemeth from ''VideoGame/DragonAgeII'', having upgraded from plain burlap-sack clothes and a gaunt, haggard appearance in the first game to [[http://images.wikia.com/dragonage/images/6/6b/Flemeth03.png this]] in the second.
258	*** In ''VideoGame/DragonAgeInquisition'', [[spoiler:this gets dialed back a bit - she keeps the body, but her face is visibly older in appearance than it was in the second game]].
259	* ''VideoGame/DynastyWarriors'' has Sun Jian, patriarch of the Sun family, who is portrayed as ruggedly handsome despite his silver hair and older age. This is definitely not upheld by history, as the real Sun Jian died young in battle at the age of 36.
260	%%* Sun Jian, starting from ''VideoGame/DynastyWarriors 6'' on. It helps that, historically, he only lived to be 36.
261
262	* ''VideoGame/EXTRAPOWERAttackOfDarkforce'': The mercenary Wolf from the SPICA team ([[OneSteveLimit not to be confused]] with Wolf from ''VideoGame/EXTRAPOWERGiantFist'') is an older member of the team with a full head of grey hair, but is still as rugged and fit as ever.
263
264	* ''VideoGame/FateGrandOrder'' has the Archer of Shinjuku, a.k.a. [[spoiler: James Moriarty]], who manifests as a dapper middle-aged man with a fashionable suit and pure grey hair. Funnily enough, he's incredibly jealous of his old archnemesis for looking way younger and handsomer than he does.
265	* Godbert in ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXIV'' has white hair, a bushy white mustache, and looks old enough to fit the role of the game's version of Santa Claus (which he does play as). Despite his older age, he's incredibly well built and has the strength to back it up. Male player characters can also be customized to look like this as well.
266	* [[http://fireemblem.wikia.com/wiki/Galzus Galzus]] from ''VideoGame/FireEmblemThracia776'' is remarked as quite handsome despite being older than many.
267	* The Illusive Man, of ''Franchise/MassEffect'' 2 and 3, is [[TheChessmaster intelligent, charming]], and looks like he's in his mid-fifties in spite of being over seventy years old ([[JustifiedTrope justified, considering the long lifespans of humans in the game and Cerberus's emphasis on genetic modification]]).
268	** Samara, ancient asari Justicar and one of your potential party members, is one too.
269	** In-universe with Mordin Solus, a salarian scientist in the final decade of his life. Apparently he's considered something of a sexpot, and is exasperated by the constant come-ons from various aliens.
270	** An in-universe version in ''VideoGame/MassEffectAndromeda'' with Nakmor Drack. He's a fifteen hundred year old krogan warrior, who looks like... well, a ''krogan''. Despite this, asari doctor Lexi T'Perro is crushing hard on him.
271	* ''VideoGame/MaxGentlemenSexyBusiness'' has two attractive older love interests, the jolly Sinterklaas and the ferocious Summer Starling.
272	* The ''VideoGame/MetalGear'' series has its fair share. Especially in ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolid4GunsOfThePatriots'' where Solid Snake, despite having aged to the appearance of an elderly man, still has a fairly muscular body and an extremely prominent, well-sculpted ass. Likewise, Ocelot, who is in his 70s, also turns out to be fairly well built. And there's Big Mama aka [[spoiler: EVA]] who aside from some wrinkles, still has a rather youthful figure and wears an outfit with a plunging neckline.
273	* ''Franchise/MortalKombat'':
274	** Sindel has been quite the silver fox ever since she first appeared in ''VideoGame/MortalKombat3''. Mind, it's hard to say if her mostly white hair is supposed to be indicative of her age, seeing how both Sindel and her daughter Kitana are said to be [[ReallySevenHundredYearsOld over 10,000 years old]].
275	** ''VideoGame/MortalKombatX'' and ''VideoGame/MortalKombat11'' take place 25-28 years since the original trilogy, and several human characters are strikingly attractive in their mature years: Johnny Cage, Jax, Kung Lao, Kenshi, Kano (who has developed quite the [[LGBTFanbase gay male following]]), Sub-Zero, and a now-human Scorpion. Even the [[GuestFighter Terminator]] is modeled after Creator/ArnoldSchwarzenegger in his 70's. That being said, Sonya Blade is an arguable example. While she's as beautiful as ever, her design has been criticized for ''not'' looking like a woman in her 50's and being nearly identical to her adult daughter Cassie.
276	* ''{{VideoGame/Overwatch}}'':
277	** [[OldSoldier Soldier 76]], who is always seen with his mask on. While he was already quite the looker when he was [[https://i.ytimg.com/vi/NSyQjDwkeeI/maxresdefault.jpg the Strike-Commander of Overwatch]], two of his Legendary skins, particularly Commando: 76, show that he's still pretty easy on the eyes [[https://cdna0.artstation.com/p/assets/images/images/002/827/456/large/airborn-studios-soldier.jpg?1466169818 despite aging.]]
278	** [[KnightInShiningArmor Reinhardt]] is one of the oldest playable characters in ''Overwatch'' at 61, but he's still as muscular and handsome as he was in his youth. This is {{lampshaded}} by Ana, who's surprised by how well he's aged in an in-game conversation.
279	** [[FriendlySniper Ana]] is only a year younger than Reinhardt, but still looks incredibly good for a sixty-year-old. Reinhardt even compliments her on how gracefully she's aged in the same conversation mentioned above.
280	** [[GravityMaster Sigma]] is the oldest playable hero at 62, and many of his alternate skins still portrays him in flattering ways; from his swimwear-clad ”Scuba” skin that showcases his surprisingly fit physique, to the classy ”Maestro” skin that makes him sharply-dressed in white tie.
281	* ''VideoGame/SamuraiWarriors'' has Ujiyasu Hojo, who is openly desired by his subordinate Kai for his bravery and good looks. This portrayal of Ujiyasu is somewhere in his 50s, which aligns with the real Ujiyasu having lived to the age of 56 or so.
282	* ''VideoGame/ShovelKnight'': King Knight's mom, who is introduced in the ''King of Cards'' campaign. Aside from her grey hair and slight wrinkles, she doesn't look too different from the younger women seen in the game. Add her sweet, caring personality, and its easy to see why King Pridemoor takes a liking to her (much to King Knight's chagrin).
283	* ''VideoGame/SwooningOverStansAGrunkleDatingSimulator'': Stan and Ford are this trope, even more so than they are in canon.
284
285	* Lee Chaolan of ''VideoGame/{{Tekken}}''. Very much a white-haired {{Bishonen}} in his youth, he's now pushing 50 as of late and is ''[[OlderThanTheyLook still]]'' as [[{{Bishonen}} Biseinen]] as they get, even giving younger pretty boys like Jin, Hwoarang, and Lars a run for their money. Lee's InSeriesNickname, [[RedBaron fittingly enough]], is the "Silver-Haired Demon/Devil."
286	* In ''VideoGame/TotalWarShogun2'', a Geisha or Shirabyoshi agent can still be seducing twenty-something enemy generals well into their fifties, sixties, or even ''seventies'', and will probably even be more effective at it than a much younger woman.
287	* Used InUniverse in regards to Toriel in ''VideoGame/{{Undertale}}''. Toriel is a motherly goat-like boss monster who looks old enough to be someone's grandmother, yet users of the internet consider her to be very attractive in spite of her age.
288
289	* Although Geralt of Rivia from ''VideoGame/TheWitcher'' cheats a bit by being ReallySevenHundredYearsOld he does look in his early forties and his totally white hair absolutely makes him a Silver Fox, or White Wolf. That said, a few people might be put off his shirtless scenes by the fact his torso and arms are covered in savage-looking scars from where he has been slashed and bitten. Monster slaying isn't all glamour.
290	** To a lesser extent, Regis from ''VideoGame/TheWitcher3WildHunt'' has his share of admirers, despite appearing to be in his early to mid-sixties--likely due to his [[FriendlyNeighborhoodVampire friendly nature]].
291	[[/folder]]
292
293	[[folder:Webcomics]]
294	* General Tarquin from ''Webcomic/TheOrderOfTheStick''. Haley sees him as evidence that [[spoiler:his son Elan is [[StrongFamilyResemblance still going to be attractive]] in his middle age]]. As a StickFigureComic, both characters qualify for InformedAttractiveness, but Tarquin's hair is definitely a '''pleasant''' shade of grey, which lends the trope some credence.
295	* ''Webcomic/QuestionableContent'':
296	** Dora squees upon meeting Marten's father, Henry, (who looks almost exactly like a silver-haired version of his son), saying that Marten will look so hot when he goes gray. Later, Claire gets quite flustered on her first meeting with Henry, with dazed mumbling about how handsome he is.
297	** Jim the bakery owner is more salt-and-pepper than outright silver, but is still romantically active and repeatedly mentioned to be quite cute. [[spoiler: He even dates Dora after her breakup with Marten, though they decide on the first date that they're better off friends. He later winds up involved with Marten's mother, Veronica.]]
298	* ''Webcomic/{{Niels}}'' by Creator/{{Humon}} brings us our favorite super secret soldier, Agent 250. He's in his mid-fifties, and the only real clue to his age are the slight wrinkles under his eyes and his hair, which is light gray at the roots and dark gray on top. Despite this, he's as buff and sprightly as a man half his age, and could easily pass as one if his hair weren't gray. [[http://nielsg.com/agent-250 Let's just say]] [[http://nielsg.com/why-why-oh-right there's a reason he's in a relationship.]]
299	* Though she's not a main character of ''[[http://www.webcomicsnation.com/johnmann/zodiac/series.php Zodiac]]'', Cancer's grandmother [[http://www.webcomicsnation.com/johnmann/zodiac/series.php?view=single&ID=134515 Natalia Hain]] is in very good shape for her age.
300	* Maggie of ''Webcomic/{{Erfworld}}''. Grey hair, grey skin, wrinkled -- but [[http://archives.erfworld.com/Book%202/85 can still work a miniskirt.]] The physical properties of Erfworld help: a person's physical appearance (or "signamancy") is in large part defined by their personality, view of themselves, and emotional state. Since Maggie met Parson, she found a new purpose in life (and possibly developed a crush on him), as a result, her appearance has been growing more attractive and even a bit more youthful.
301	* King Urtica in ''Webcomic/{{Exiern}}'', despite his white hair and beard, is revealed to still have a [[http://www.exiern.com/?p=1933 very well muscled and defined]] chest and six-pack. Not to mention his "come to bed" eyes and smile.
302	* ''Webcomic/SchlockMercenary'': Karl Tagon was a RetiredBadass who looked quite happy and healthy despite his age and bald spot. When [[spoiler:the entire galaxy gained immortality]], he started growing his hair back, to the approval of his female subordinates... but he kept it gray.
303	-->'''Karl:''' I said I don't want to look old. I still want to look ''awesome''.
304	[[/folder]]
305
306	[[folder:Web Original]]
307	* In ''Literature/BrigScarletFlamingo'', Gerald Ernscott is in his fifties and with mostly grayed hair, but he is tall, broad-shouldered and keeps himself in excellent shape, and nobody is even surprised when his much younger, NobilityMarriesMoney bride [[PerfectlyArrangedMarriage can't take her eyes off him]].
308	* In the ''[[Literature/BritsuneGardenSeries Britsune Garden series]]'', Queen Lilie, grandmother of Malorie, is a loving corgi gijinka in her early seventies and having silvery curls, but she is described InUniverse and appears in the author’s official artwork as quite a beauty, having luminescent and dreamy blue eyes and a plump but voluptuous physique with big boobs ([[CrackOwMyBack with the price of back pain, unfortunately]]).
309	[[/folder]]
310
311	[[folder:Web Videos]]
312	* In WebVideo/TheNostalgiaCritic's review of ''WesternAnimation/GrandmaGotRunOverByAReindeer'', he insists that he's not into old women, but if you took like, two wrinkles out of Grandma's face, change the hair and glasses, "She's kind of a bombshell!"
313	* In ''WebVideo/TwelveHundredGhosts'' Scrooge yelling at Bob Cratchit over stealing coal transitions into Bob thinking it was the hottest thing he'd ever seen.
314	[[/folder]]
315
316	[[folder:Western Animation]]
317	* ''WesternAnimation/{{Amphibia}}'': Sylvia Sundew is in a good shape despite being an elderly frog, and both Hop Pop and Monroe find her very attractive. In "Family Fishing Trip", even Sprig gets distracted by her flowing hair.
318	* ''WesternAnimation/{{Archer}}'':
319	** Season 7 introduces Veronica Deane, a 50-something movie star who's attractive enough that every man in the office comments on it, [[CampGay including Ray]].
320	-->'''Ray:''' She almost makes me Q my G.[[labelnote:explanation]]"Question my gayness"[[/labelnote]]
321	** Mallory Archer, meanwhile, is a mixed example. She has the gorgeous silver hair, sexy figure, and dazzling sexual appeal that earns her plenty of gentlemen callers and she has dozens of former lovers all over the globe. But her adherence to this trope is only skin deep. While she's dignified and composed in comparison to the rest of the cast, Mallory is a shrill, demanding, and selfish old woman who torments everyone around her for her own amusement.
322	* ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirBender'' General Iroh can be considered this, especially after his workout.
323	** In the sequel, ''WesternAnimation/TheLegendOfKorra'' there are many characters that fit this trope: Tenzin, Pema, Lin, Suyin...
324	* On ''WesternAnimation/BatmanBeyond'', [[MadScientistsBeautifulDaughter Talia]] allows [[OldSuperhero an aged Bruce]] to use one of her father's old Lazarus Pits, but specifically leaves some of his hair gray to look more distinguished. ComicBook/RasAlGhul himself went for the same look. [[spoiler:Which makes sense, since Bruce is actually being groomed as [[GrandTheftMe his new body]]...]]
325	* ''WesternAnimation/BigHero6TheSeries'': In the episode, "Fear Not", Wasabi envisions becoming a successful SFIT professor when he has to fill in for an absentee. His ImagineSpot shows that he still has his good looks in his senior years.
326	* ''WesternAnimation/GravityFalls'': Stan is sometimes considered a Silver Fox.
327	** You probably will [[NotMakingThisUpDisclaimer think people are joking]], but there exist many fans who find Grunkle Stan very handsome. There's a reason why they call him "Hunkle". Many like how he looks, specially in episodes like: "Double Dipper", "Boss Mabel" or "The Stanchurian Candidate". Also they love his looks in "Scary-oke". In canon, there's very subtle tips of Stan being a silver fox:
328	*** In "Dipper vs Manliness" Lazy Susan falls in love with Stan.
329	*** In "The Stanchurian Candidate", Tad Strange and Sheriff Blubs find Stan good-looking in his new outfit.
330	*** In "The Stanchurian Candidate", Mabel says that Stan has some kind of charisma.
331	** The Author of the Journals is in his sixties with gray hair and stubble but is still quite fit and attractive, unlike [[spoiler:his twin brother, Stanley Pines]]. Pacifica calls him hot in ''ComicBook/GravityFallsLostLegends''. In the blacklight edition of ''Literature/GravityFallsJournal3,'' he writes a note to "figure out what a 'Silver Fox' is and why everyone keeps calling me one."
332	*** A group of fans even made a video game titled [[spoiler:"Swooning Over Stans: A Grunkle Dating Sim", where you can choose if you want to date Stan or Ford. Can you believe Creator/AlexHirsch played this game and the fans chose Stan's route?]]
333	* Mrs. Anna Twombly from ''WesternAnimation/LittlestPetShop2012''. Aside from her glasses and grayed hair, she looks no different than her younger self shown in "Lotsa Luck!". A few male characters have flirted with her.
334	* Eda the Owl Lady of ''WesternAnimation/TheOwlHouse''. Luz describes her as "Surprisingly foxy for her age." [[spoiler: WordOfGod says she's only in her mid-to-late 40s but her curse has caused her to age prematurely.]]
335	* ''WesternAnimation/TheSmurfs1981'': Only implied by Flowerbell about Papa Smurf in the episode "Papa's Wedding Day" when she's trying to win his heart. As hinted in one of ''ComicBook/TheSmurfs'' comic book one-page gags, strip away Papa Smurf's beard and he would look no different in appearance from an ordinary male Smurf.
336	* ''WesternAnimation/VoltronLegendaryDefender'': King Alfor's white hair seems to be a hereditary trait as opposed to being a sign of age (since he's had it since youth, as does his daughter Allura). Still, this doesn't stop him from being drawn fit and handsome even in old age.
