Chart-topping artist Diana Ross, 80, cut an ageless figure as she was spotted out and about in Beverly Hills, Los Angeles.

The US music legend broke out in the 1960s as the lead singer of Motown girl group The Supremes – which celebrated 12 Billboard number ones in its time – before launching her solo career with her self-titled debut that features the timeless classic, Ain’t No Mountain High Enough.

Since then the Grammy-winning singer has released several number one hits such as Endless Love featuring Lionel Richie, I’m Coming Out and Miss Me In The Morning.

In 1973, Diana also landed a coveted best actress Oscar nomination after starring in Lady Sings the Blues.

As her career has gone from strength to strength, she has firmly cemented her place in music history. In 2022, she performed in the Glastonbury Legends slot and made history at the time with the most-viewed performance ever.

As she continues to tour the US with her greatest hits, the artist was recently spotted in a rare appearance on the streets of LA while shopping at Bristol Farms in Beverly Hills.

She was wearing a a pair of chunky sunglasses, an all-black outfit – made up of an off-the-shoulder black top, black leggings and a matching fanny pack – and brown ugg boots. The R&B singer looking better than ever.

Needless to say, the glamorous music icon looks as though she has hardly aged a day during her lucrative six-decade-long career and counting.

The mum-of-five celebrated her 80th birthday in March, with her daughter Tracee Ellis Ross paying tribute to her mum’s legacy in a heartfelt social media post recounting some of the struggles Diana faced as a young music star.

‘Amidst shattering records, breaking glass ceilings, and setting a new bar for style and glamour, we, her children, were always her priority. As I often say, “Diana Ross” the beloved global icon is legendary but she doesn’t hold a candle to my mama,’ Tracee concluded in her caption.

Now Diana – who has also won a Special Tony Award and Presidential Medal of Freedom – will be immortalised on the big screen as part of Michael Jackson’s upcoming biopic.

Earlier this year, it was announced Diana will be portrayed by Vampire Diaries star Kat Graham.

Reacting to news of the casting, Kat posted on Instagram: ‘Grateful to play the legendary Diana Ross… directed by the great Antoine Fuqua.

‘I can’t wait for everyone to see this film and the brilliant performances in it. Thank you Graham King, Vickie Thomas and Mr. Fuqua for allowing me the privilege of supporting the retelling of such a pivotal era in our music history.’
