Lucci recently underwent heart surgery, following some heart attack scares in the past. She recently told People that she’s been “doing really well” in her recovery. Given her history of heart issues, the star is a well-established advocate for heart health, taking every opportunity to raise awareness for women’s heart health. Now, it’s clear that she’s looking and feeling better than ever.

Fans showered the star with love, fawning over her outfit. Nobody works a red carpet like La Lucci! 😍” one wrote. Another fan wrote, “You must be going back in time [because] you never looked better! ❤️😍.” A third chimed in with, “How come after first seeing you in 1983 I STILL CAN’T GET ENOUGH OF YOU??? ❤️❤️” We have to agree, Lucci is only getting better with age.

Now, you may be wondering, how does Lucci maintain her amazing physique? The 76-year-old works out six days a week! Her secret to maintaining such a diligent workout schedule? “I like to work out first thing in the morning,” Lucci previously told Women’s Health. “Because then I know, no matter what happens for the rest of the day, I’ve done something good for myself.”

As far as what kind of exercise she likes to get up and do bright and early, Lucci is a big advocate for daily Pilates sessions. In these workouts, she relies on a piece of equipment called the Pilates Pro Chair, which helps target your abs, thighs, and butt while you exercise. Lucci likes to do 10 different moves a day on her chair, of 30 to 100 reps each.

After a lifetime of prioritizing fitness, and now her heart health, Lucci is really at the top of her game, and she’ll surely continue to dazzle us with her chic, stunning looks. We can’t wait for her next red carpet-appearance!
