AIBU to think famous women don't look worse because they age, it's because of the surgery.

I've never been a fan of Victoria B, I still remember an interview she did where she was having problems speaking because she'd had so much lip filler done, clearly not long before her interview. She's had lots of work done but not much of it very good.

Brooke Shields I respect, because though she has had work done, they ALL do. It's very subtle and not drastic, she's decided to also show her wrinkles, which is really brave in that industry. She has great bone structure and that really helps.

Since I'm in my 50s now, I am scrupulous with my health (most of the time), I quit drinking alcohol. I work out a lot, combo of cardio and strength training and I take lots of great supplements (NMN, collagen) which really helps your skin.

But nothing, and I mean nothing, helps more than strength training for looking younger. So if I want to perk up my bust, I do specific chest exercises. If I want my glutes/butt to be more lifted, I focus on glute exercises. Nothing could have prepared me for the change in my body that strength training has given me. I'm both amazed and delighted. It's taken some time, following lockdown and sciatica but I can sculpt my physique as I see fit and I love doing it. And I'm not even doing this for aesthetics (which have massively improved, fat loss and musculature I never thought I'd have again) I'm doing this for my older lady physique, to protect against falls and bone and muscle loss. Beside which, I love being strong.

I can pick up a 20kg barbell off the floor with ease. It's the best feeling I've ever experienced!

@uptheculdesac bloody hell I’m bad at this photo and tagging stuff 🤦🏻‍♀️

The photo I posted was from a few months ago - to me she has definitely ‘kept up’ her face. Photos of her recently show a smoother appearance - not wrinkle free but refreshed. I really don’t think she’s aged without help (and I have no issue with that at all!)

Yes, thanks! It's Lindsay Lohan. Think she's had a deep plane facelift and she looks great. But then it would do, she's only in her 30s.

Telltale sign of a deep plane is the subtle front of ear scar or pull and of course the mouth looks pulled, which it has been. It can look a bit 'Joker' ish if you know what I mean. So you can tell Lindsay had it.
But the more surgery you get, the more damage and scar tissue is created.
Also they don't last, so after 8-10 years all those ageing signs will revisit!

Yes please, no more fillers for your face (a tiny, and I mean tiny amount in the lips can look great, to even out lips size, etc) but NOT in your facial features like cheeks, etc.

Fillers, botox etc are incredibly ageing. I see young women having this shit done and it ages them 15yrs overnight. Same is the case for older women, but it's even more pronounced because your attention is drawn to it more.

Oh come on she's had botox , and subtle fillers. she's just not gone wild so she has some little wrinkles. She's probably not had an eyelid lift I grant you but please let's not kid ourselves.

@uptheculdesac in other photos VB looks amazing & on her make-up videos.

Was just going to say that! Not wearing make up does not mean no plastic surgery! She is only acceptable to the media as she looks so fantastic with no make up because of the plastic surgery. It's like the woman who played Barbie she's had her eyes and nose done and she was already very attractive to start with and young.

@uptheculdesac have you had lip filler? Your lips look amazing either way.

I. Ant see how this doesn't look 58 to you. She looks great. I think she's really attractive. And natural. What do you mean the eyes? These look like 58 year old eyes. Hell. Trey are wrinklier than mine

I've just posted pictures of my jawline 🫤
I haven't had surgery or had any procedures other than using tretinoin and vitamin C

My mother still had a jaw line in her 80s. Not firm firm but she had zero double chin . .

Not everyone gets a double chin. I don't have one. My neck is a little softer but I don't have loose skin and a wattle

Do you mean Bridget Jones?

Madonna moves bizarrely considering she was a dancer

Mooooo Trinny's mouth makes me gag. I literally switch off anything she is on. When her face pops up on social media I have to delete it. That mouth has been filled to the point that it looks just awful. Horrible.

No idea if she’s had any work, but Jane Seymour has aged phenomenally well and must be well into her 70’s now.

She's had a facelift or two

With the photo!

@uptheculdesac this is a 58 year old woman. Look at that jaw line, look at those eyelids. This is not aging without help…

She looks great, so youthful without the overfilled weird cat's eyed look. I wonder why she doesn't just put basic makeup on like mascara and blusher though? She would look exactly the same as she did in her heyday. There aren't many women of her age that would go so obviously sans makeup particularly when they knew they'd be photographed.

I feel like I've fallen into a parallel universe where someone thinks Brook Sheilds looks unnatural and Victoria Beckham looks good. I think she looks weird af. Her mouth looks stretched like Zippy's mouth

This doesn't look like a face that's been messed around with
Sad you think she looks bad

Well I love Pammy. However, she may be going make up free, but she is 100% still having secret nips and tucks.
I guarantee.

So until I win the lottery or somehow become rich, I'm relearning how to love my face as it ages (sob), and I'm cutting out sugar and alcohol.
I finally fully understand the following motto:
When you look good you feel good, when you feel good you look good.

I came to terms with my 90 year old face by making a point of smiling whenever I saw a mirror. a) I look better smiling b) it's nice to have someone smile back at you from the mirror.

(I'm not 90, I just think I look it. But I don't care)

@FridayNight1975 & yet Hugh Grant was told he was grossly fat at 12.5 stone & 5ft 11 & told to sort it out sharpish.
