To be annoyed with Kylie Minogue?

She’s on the One Show. My son looked up her age as he didn’t believe she could be pushing 60. She looks 30. What the heck?

What's a floorless look?

I always think she looks like a child in her body and not a women

don’t agree she’s beautiful

Doggielovelouie · 05/12/2025 20:14

the tv and make up do a lot

she’s just as wrinkly as the rest of us underneath - as is Tess daly despite the floorless look on strictly

If she's had work done, it's very good as she still looks like she did when younger. Some celebrities are unrecognisable from their younger selves, but she still looks like Kylie. I've only ever heard that she's lovely to work with.

I've got no reason to like or dislike her, though as a child I was a fan when she started her solo career. I did read many times she's not a particularly nice person and doesn't have any friends. Which is sad but don't know how true that is.

Many years ago, around 1991, one of my clerks at that time served her, and commented that she looked a bit like Charlene from Neighbours. He was gob-smacked with her reply. She was lovely with him.

I've never read that and wonder why you'd post that.

I worked for her record company for a number of years (not in a "star" meeting role but would occasionally met them when dealing with contracts).
She was a delightful person. Doesn't have many friends per se (as we don't when we get older) but has close relationships with her family and a small group. She is blessed with very good genes. Her mum is very elegant and also petite. And, as others have said, her looks are part of her brand and she invests in herself.
We were the same height although I was 3cm taller and (at least) 3kg heavier so we looked very different. However, we share the same shoe size and when I left the company she gave me the most incredible pair of Laboutins.
What is the point of being mean to a woman who has done so well?

I think comparing yourself with rich celebrities is never going to end well.

Oh that's sad. I'm sorry if I sounded flippant
I always assumed it was your son so I just wondered.

RaininSummer · 05/12/2025 20:12

Just looked some pics. I do think she looks at least fifty facially when close enough to see the work especially on lips and eyes. However she has definitely looked after herself .

Catsandcwtches · 05/12/2025 20:12

I think she looks good but quite stretched around her eyebrows. She does look in her 50s to me, but I would have guessed very easy 50s if I didn’t know

Thought she looked ok, it's her body she can do whatever she wants to it.

Don't think she has done it to annoy you!

My son said ‘she’s 5 years older than YOU! with incredulity. Marvellous.

I love Kylie and I say this with the greatest of respect to her...but I seriously doubt the face she has now is the original one she was born with.

EmeraldRoulette · 05/12/2025 20:00

I saw her at Wembley once

Still relevant, still classy, still making good music and putting on a good show apparently - a friend saw her in Hyde Park I guess two years ago. Love her. And yes, she looks fabulous and most importantly, healthy.

I said almost the same as you 😁

A few bitter sounding comments about her not having kids/the worry of kids to age her.

Cancer robbed her of the choice.

Good for her for beating cancer and looking so beautiful, I hope she enjoys every single day of her life.

Absolutely. Those comments are gross. "I wouldn't swap my life for hers, I've got a husband and kids", yuck!

GumFossil · 05/12/2025 20:01

I thought you were going to say you were annoyed with her for fucking her face up! I think she looks bloody awful. Her face looks postively plastic.

I’m the first to comment on bad work, but I honestly think she looks completely fantastic. I can’t see anything plastic or fucked-up.

I think her face looks like a wax work figure, but that's just my opinion!

Scrabsqueak · 05/12/2025 19:25

She also had breast cancer. Life hasn’t been easy, but she does have the money to help with some signs. I suspect good genes and a healthy lifestyle have helped.

Yes. She’s definitely had her fair share of stress. Also it’s not just money and clean living as many people live like that but don’t look so good so you need all 3 factors - the third being good genes also! If you look through her past photos she’s aged very slowly and elegantly!

BIossomtoes · 05/12/2025 20:05

She looked fabulous at the Fashion Awards.

BunnyLake · 05/12/2025 20:05

I like Kylie, I’ve never bought any of her records but she apparently puts on a great concert. She seems like one of those people you can’t really dislike. Don’t watch mainstream tv but I can imagine she looks amazing.
