80s icon Kate Pierson showed off her age-defying beauty when she took to Instagram to share a photo of her reunion with her followers.
The 76-year-old B-52 star rose to fame in the late ’70s when he met with the other members of what would become the B-52s at a restaurant in Athens, Georgia.
However, Kate apparently hasn’t aged a day, as she shared a sweet reunion selfie with ’90s pop icon Lisa Loeb, 56, Lyle Lovett, 66, and her friend Katie.
The singer looked incredible as she cut a glamorous figure in a purple velvet jacket and diamond-encrusted glasses.
She styled her red locks in loose waves and kept makeup to a minimum to show off her youthful appearance.

Meanwhile, Lisa, responsible for the smash hit ‘Stay’ from the Reality Bites movie, cut a chic figure in an off-the-shoulder black mini dress.
The elegant ensemble showed off Lisa’s slender figure and featured puff sleeves and a plunging neckline.
Kate, who is unmistakable for her vibrant red hair color, is best known for her band’s hits Love Shack, Rock Lobster and Wig, to name just a few.
But he’s also worked with artists like Iggy Pop on his early ’90s single Candy, The Ramones’ Chop Suey, and REM’s stellar LP Out of Time.
Kate also released a solo album co-written with pop powerhouse Sia and the tracks were produced by Jack White.
Her solo debut, Guitars and Microphones, was released in 2015 and allowed Kate to explore more personal themes than her group’s eccentric songs.
She told Spin: “I just wanted to be more real and emotional.”
“The B-52s, you know, our songs are about volcanoes or lobsters.”
The B-52s were formed in the late ’70s when Kate, Fred Schneider, Keith Strickland, Cindy Wilson and the late Ricky Wilson had a jam session after a trip to a Chinese restaurant.
The band’s name was inspired by a dream Keith had in which the group was playing in a hotel and someone whispered the nickname in his ear, also the name of a war plane.
However, tragedy occurred in the mid-1980s when the band’s guitarist, Ricky, who was Cindy’s brother, died of AIDS at age 32.
‘Cindy (Wilson) and I sing them like our lives depend on them. “I feel very emotional when I sing ‘Rock Lobster,’ but I wanted to sing more about my personal experience.”

Former drummer Keith had to step up and swapped his drums for a guitar to become the band’s new guitarist.
It comes before Kate released her solo album Guitars and Microphones in 2015 and the album was co-written with pop powerhouse Sia.
The band achieved much success with the release of their 1989 album Cosmic Thing and their mega hit Love Shack.
Cosmic Thing reached the top five in the United States, the top 10 in the United Kingdom, and number one in Australia and New Zealand.
They had a huge number three hit in the UK in 1994 when they recorded the theme song for the film The Flintstones starring John Goodman.
Their last album, Funplex, was released in 2008, 16 years after 1992’s Good Stuff.
The band toured sporadically afterwards, however Keith retired from the road in 2012.
