Betty White: Style Evolution (PHOTOS)

HuffPost Social Reading

Back off Tina Fey and Kristen Wiig -- Betty White's still the funniest female comedian in prime time. The Illinois native is best known for her roles in The Mary Tyler Moore Show and The Golden Girls, but she's keeping busy with her newer hit sitcom, Hot in Cleveland.

While White has worn her share of see-through dresses, princess gowns and even sweat suits over the years, the funny woman has since perfected her uniform of black trousers, bright tunics and caftans. We appreciate her staying in her comfort zone, but we think she should certainly return to elegant gowns. Remember when she wowed everyone in that turquoise number at the 2010 Screen Actors Guild Awards?

See more of White's style as she celebrates her 90th birthday this Tuesday.

In related news, White isn't the only celebrity who is 90 and fabulous! Check out this list of stylish seniors.

Betty White just rocks my socks!! I've watched her my entire life and she has never failed to make me smile and laugh out loud. I can't really say that about anyone else. Now I just look at her and start grinning like a fool. She's grace and laughter personified. What a lady! I'll never forget her as Sue Ann Nivens. I would just laugh hysterically the whole time she was on.

She is a classy lady, an the way she carries her self what ever she wears seems right for her. She never looks cheap or out of place, even at 90 yrs old. She is one of my favorites.

We need more Betty White's today, in the film industry instead of all the violence and nudity.

I had the distinct pleasure of meeting Betty White a little over a year ago; not long before her 89th birthday. I must say, she looks just as fantastic in person as she does on the TV screen! What a dear, dear Lady. The photo I have of that meeting is something I will treasure forever.

Tina Fey. She makes you look just like an average comedian. You may think you are funny Tina, but you are really wrong.
