At age 58, Allison Janney admits she’s torn between growing old gracefully and fighting the aging process, but a new swimsuit photo shoot for InStyle demonstrates the seven-time Emmy winner is definitely the victor when it comes to battling Father Time.
In the sizzling photos, the “Mom” star — who won an Oscar, a Golden Globe and a SAG Award for her role in “I, Tonya” — strikes some seriously sexy poses wearing nothing but a red swimsuit, matching high heels and a string of Harry Winston bling.

Speaking with InStyle, Janney recalls the horror she experienced when she noticed her first facial wrinkle. “Oh, it was terrifying,” she tells the mag. “There are a lot of things I’m noticing as I get older. I’m trying to grow old gracefully and embrace it, but I also want to fight it and do little things here and there to help. Especially when you’re still single. I’m not totally out of the game, but I’m one foot in, one foot out. I think this guy, whoever he is, is going to have to find me because I’m not going to find him.”
Janney even opens up about the one thing she’d like to change about herself. “My biggest insecurity is my jowls,” she admits. “I’m gonna do one of those thread lifts. I remember telling myself when I was younger, looking in the mirror and seeing some imperfection or wrinkle, even in my 20s, ‘Just remember this, Allison. You’re looking at your face now and finding fault with it. Just stop. Because you will always find fault.'”
She also looks back to her biggest hairstyle mistake — and it’s one that a lot of women will no doubt relate to: “A perm. That was tragic,” she confesses. “My hair was already naturally curly. But everyone was doing it, so I was like, ‘I need more curl.’ I had to have been 16, 17. I also dyed my hair platinum blond for a movie with Stanley Tucci [‘Big Night’], and all my hair fell out. It was overbleached — it would rip — so I just cut it off.”
