I mean - has anybody seen her Instagram photos from New Year? She literally looks 25 and her body is amazing ! How does this woman do it?? Other than being totally stunning to kick off with!

I think she fasts. I remember reading an article about her and she said she weighs herself every day and if she goes over a certain weight, she fasts until she is back under.

Fasting has massive health benefits. I wonder if that is what we are seeing here?

I've just watched Wednesday and think that Catherine Zeta Jones looks absolutely phenomenal!!

She looks slim and strong and healthy rather than too skinny which is part of it I think - being thin can be ageing.

As for her face though, I suspect all manner of cosmetic procedures, expensive skincare and makeup plus filters are responsible.

Totally - slim yet shapely

wonder what her exercise regimen is

See also Jennifer Lopez. How the hell do they do it? They must be some sort of genetic master race . I am slightly but only a few years younger and no one I know looks close to these despite normal level effort (diet exercise some Botox)

My stomach was flat and toned after DS1. It was flat and toned before I got pregnant and I kept up the exercise throughout. I was one of those arseholes who wore pre-baby jeans home from hospital and was lighter than I started when weighed at the 6 week checkup.

But don't worry, DS2 wrecked me!

I was the same, but I was also 23 and whilst I'm still a size 8 I no longer have that stomach as I don't exercise and I'm 45!

TheaBrandt · 02/01/2023 11:02

Yeah I looked bloody amazing too at 23 but at 48?!

Aceofbase00 · 02/01/2023 11:02

In unedited pictures Jennifer Lopez does have some lines but zero sagging. I have a 49 year old friend who has an incredible face and body, very taught in both. Lucky!

What?

Plenty of people have normal flat stomachs after childbirth.

What do you think happens in pregnancy that ruins your stomach? I have one friend who's stomach muscles were ruined by them having a caesarean, and they had a tummy tuck but everyone else in my gym class has worked for it.

Muscles separate. 90% of women have stretch marks. It’s upsetting when you pretend that pregnancy isn’t damaging.

Felistra · 02/01/2023 11:07

I do think very slim people literally eat such small portions - my cousin is like size 6 and literally at a buffet will have a serving maybe a dessert spoon max

JLo it's genetics - did you see her mum in that documentary about her? - and being fit as fuck. I know 20 year old dancers who wish for her stamina. She works incredibly hard for her fitness and good luck to her, I say. Luff her.

Fleabigg · 02/01/2023 11:12

She’s always been extremely open and honest about how hard she works on her body and looks. It’s basically her full time job, rather than something many other people would be able to emulate. Also a healthy dose of genetics and being a beautiful woman I’m sure!

TheaBrandt · 02/01/2023 11:12

Yes she’s inspirational!

Surgery. Nobody has a stomach like that after childbirth unless they’ve had a tummy tuck.

I've got to disagree on that one. After my first pregnancy and birth my stomach was the best it's ever been. not a single stretch mark and my skin just pinged back.
Then i had a second child 🙁

Batterball · 02/01/2023 11:24

My sister has 4 kids, has bounced back within a couple of weeks of having them. She’s a size 6 and has 2 stretch marks, one each side of her tummy, that are barely visible.
she still gets asked for ID even though she’s almost 40.

she has a healthy appetite, prefers savoury food to desserts but loves a bar of chocolate regularly.
We don’t know where she gets it from because the rest of us are all boobs, belly and bum 🙄
And I feel at this point, me getting Botox would be like throwing a pebble into the Grand Canyon. It’s polyfilla and full rendering I need for my face and neck creases. Dont get me started on how awful my tummy looks with stretch marks even though I was religious about oils and moisturiser during pregnancy.

Liz Hurley looks amazing. She has aged like a fine wine.
I think Amanda Holdens Botox, boob jobs, filler etc is more obvious but if that’s the look she likes it shouldn’t bother anyone else.

Yes, they have to work hard, be disciplined and also often resort to surgery; but surely it isn't odd to think that, when choosing/propelling people to be held up as public beauty icons, you're going to start with those lucky few who have amazing genetic makeups to begin with?

Nobody was ever going to be looking to coach the new basketball megastar and start with Susan Calman; or select Miranda Hart to train up as the new world-champion Jockey.

GetOffTheTableMabel · 02/01/2023 11:30

I find her refreshingly honest on the subject. I read an interview with her in which she said that it is her job to look good in tiny dresses so sometimes she goes to bed hungry.

Spect8 · 02/01/2023 11:37

She's good friends with Kate Middleton. They share the secrets of starvation.

SityingConar · 02/01/2023 11:38

Just googled her and she looks great but normal and not 25.

🙄She looks anything but starved.

I was being tongue in cheek.

And anyway, I don't give a shiny shite about any of them. Who cares really, sometimes it is lucky genes, more often at a certain age it is surgical, fillers, botox or starvation!

BedTaker · 02/01/2023 11:47

As others have said, she is open about the fact that its hard work to look that good at her age. I don't think she starves herself but she certainly doesn't just eat what she wants either. And she will have had some subtle procedures on her face, but clearly knows when to put the brakes on.

I think she looks great!

Railwayroad · 02/01/2023 11:51

Definitely very subtle surgery and/or fillers and Botox. Same with JLo.

I think we’re conditioned to be drawn to attractive people both naturally and through the media.
I expect it will remain so. I remember being on a bus in Malta and a man in his 20’s got on, he was objectively the most beautiful man I’ve ever seen. It was like looking at an exquisite artwork. I think it’s symmetry that we find pleasing.

GoingOnce · 02/01/2023 11:55

She looks good. But her Instagram photos are filtered in the same way as everyone else’s. I doubt she looks 25 in real life. I expect she looks like a very well-preserved 50 something. Nobody ever really looks that much younger than their true age. We have to stop thinking that looking good means you look young.

Nooriginalusername23 · 02/01/2023 11:59

She’s the woman who said she would kill herself if she was ever fat so it’s probably her vanity and lots of effort, time and money
