You must’ve heard or taken part in the latest internet fad, the #10YearChallenge, but if you you’ve been under a rock with poor wifi , here’s a quick explanation: the meme challenges people to post side-by-side pictures of themselves from 2009 and 2019, with a caption that casually brags or drags about how much you’ve changed.

Just like us ordinary folks, many Indonesian celebrities have done the #10YearChallenge, but, unlike a lot of us, a lot of them look like they’ve barely aged at all. You can chalk it up to hitting the genetic jackpot or putting in a ton of effort to keep themselves youthful, but, either way, here are 10 local celebs whose #10YearChallenge posts prove they’re practically ageless.

Dian Sastrowardoyo

The nation’s sweetheart, Dian Sastrowardoyo, posted a #10YearChallenge photo featuring shots taken from two of her films, Drupadi (2008) and the first Indonesian Netflix original, The Night Comes For Us (2018).

Maia Estianty

It’s hard to believe that singer, songwriter, and entrepreneur Maia Estianty is 42. She posted comparison pic of herself from 2008 and 2018. “With the same makeup artist and same hairstylist,” she highlighted in the caption.

Bunga Citra Lestari

Singer-actress Bunga Citra Lestari (BCL) took part in the #10YearChallenge using pictures from her campaigns for a skincare brand. Talk about longevity!

Sandra Dewi

Model and actress Sandra Dewi also joined the challenge by posting one picture from 2009, when she was a TV host, alongside another taken this year, in which she mainly travels abroad and endorses products. “Everyone said I was prettier in 2009. Well, obviously, I was still slim and single and now I’m a mother. My skin isn’t lighter now, it’s because today’s cameras are so good and we only had oldie camera phones back in the day,” Sandra wrote in the caption.

Aura Kasih

Singer-actress Aura Kasih posted a comparison of her 22-year-old self and her present day self at age 32. She posted another composite which she captioned, “Sooner or later, I’ll look like how I used to be again, Dear God please make my postnatal diet easier!” hinting at the possibility of her and her new husband expecting a baby.

Considered one of Indonesia’s divas, Rossa has enjoyed a long career. She’s even been honored with the title of “Dato’ Sri” in Malaysia. In the caption that accompanies her #10YearChallenge, Rossa jokingly wrote, “Before Beauty Plus (photo editing app) was created.”

Ashanty

Ashanty (the singer who doesn’t seem to mind publicly shaming her androgynous nephew) wrote in her caption that she only weighed 48 kg 10 years ago. Since then she has fixed her teeth as well as, changed her hairstyle and makeup look. All the work seems worth it as she still looks great. 

Yuni Shara

The singer, who’s an elder sister of diva Krisdayanti, is known for her youthful beauty and this challenge composite is a testament to how she has seemingly never aged.

Last but not least is Indonesian-Australian Nadya Hutagalung, the former MTV VJ and model turned activist. She met the challenge with pictures from 2007 and 2018. If you’re thinking “where’s the difference?” you’re not alone — we could’ve sworn there were taken on the same day!
