Liz Hurley - how does she look so amazing ?

[Felistra]

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!

She works hard at it.

It's attainable but takes time and effort.

Notice a lot of her photos are where she raises her arms above her head, making her tummy even flatter. (I can 'lose' 4lbs just by striking up that pose, LOL.)

It must be crap though making your living from always looking 'perfect' and relying on it for your income.

I think Kate Beckinsale looks so young for her age. (Obvs this is from her Insta, I don't know her in real life!) Aldo in a more mature way, no way does Nigella look 62!

@velda of course some people do. I have a friend who has seven kids and her stomach looks the same as before she had any! No stretch marks and flat.
Genetics plays a huge part - I don't get stretch marks either, though in my case my stomach is certainly not flat!
Liz Hurley has maintained her weight, works out and no doubt has lots of experts at her disposal. But I have friends my age (60) who look pretty damn fine in a bikini too - add a bit of airbrushing and filters and they'd look just as good as her.

Is she has had fillers, they’re fantastic.

I wonder why Courtney Cox and Jennifer Aniston had such terrible work done, when they could afford the best.

She went straight from giving birth to staying in Elton John’s mansion. In an interview a while back she explained that she did an intensive fitness regime in those early days while Elton’s chef made her healthy meals.

Well she's quite obviously had Botox, fillers, good dentistry and can afford good exercise and nutrition.
But she's also naturally very beautiful, which is why she's in the public eye in the first place !

If you look at a range of photo's she does sometimes look like your standard 56 year old. If you look at the range of photo's in this article, it's clear that she is very fit, and clearly looks after herself, her body is in good shape, but in the film photo, she looks "normal", with normal facial lines and neck sag.

You see I don't think she looks amazing, she looks like an older person trying to be young. I think she'd look a lot more amazing without all the lips and if she could move her face!

I think that her body shape might be a helpful one for maintaing a good shape. I might be wrong, but I think she might be what they call a straight up and down with some curve - something like that. I think she has a fairly athletic frame and quite developed muscle tone and a strong back.

Unless I'm completely wrong, I think the Princess of Wales has this shape, and I think Princess Diana had it, also. I think that exercise keeps this type of physique strong, erect and supple. It is probably harder to age well if your physique isn't as well built for the purpose of taking exercise.

I did after my first two. My stomach was flatter and tauter after a couple of years as I did a lot of exercise. It was completely flat and taut. Best it had ever been. After number 3 not so much. But I was a lot older by then.

Of course these women look good. It's their job. What would Liz Hurley do if she didn't look good?

It's not really hard to work out why celebs can look good.

They're attractive - they wouldn't have achieved their fame in the first place if they hadn't been.

They don't lead normal lives like the rest of us so they have plenty of time every day for exercise. Money for personal trainers.

They can afford to eat well. Tasty but low calorie foods prepared by chefs

They're in the public eye so there's an incentive to exercise and eat well...if I knew I was going to be regularly photographed and scrutinised my body would be different for sure.

They have money for the best dental treatment, the best hair, the best makeup, the best clothes.

They can afford to have botox and other work done

The pictures they post on social media have been professionally taken and filtered

I reckon there are probably thousands upon thousands of ordinary mumsnetters who with all of the above would be transformed into absolute knock outs too.

Lots of women have flat stomachs after having children, athletes for one!

Its genetics and exercise, no mystery but unfortunately you can't pick your parents 😁.

Also looking good is literally her job, that's all she has to focus on, imagine if you could spend all day looking after yourself?

Money definitely helps but I think the emphasis on it on this thread is misplaced. If LH and I swapped incomes I’m fairly sure she’d stay slim and I’d stay less than slim. Discipline and motivation are the difference.

First of all, LH (& AH) is/are very beautiful woman. She s genetically blessed but she is human. The vast majority of photos and even videos we see of her are heavily filtered. It is crazy what bog standard apps are available that produce very realistic yet filtered images

I would add images showing them unfiltered but the MN bug that is making image uploads impossible is stopping me

She looks great but she doesn't look 25.

If you'r being literal, you mean some slim people.

There are plenty of us who have very healthy appetites.

@DuplicateUserName I saw that and laughed. People could never believe what I was able to eat and what I needed to eat in order to maintain 8 stone. Hit 40 and it's a bit different but I was very slim even after both my children.

I certainly envy her figure and looks but not the tremendous amount of exercise, money and willpower day after day without end that it takes to maintain it.

We only see the results, not the volume of work in achieving those results

Liz Hurley put on 4 stone when pregnant but lost it all by eating watercress soup apparently. I think she must be disciplined, have a personal trainer, work done and be naturally athletic looking.

I saw Lily Allen recently and very slim her legs are still a bit more chunky than the rest of her, I noticed because I have the same issue as Lily, a lot of looking svelte is about build.

She's been quite open about how little she has to eat to maintain her figure, I like her for that.

She's looking good but she doesn't look 25.

I agree its money BUT also luck and genes. She looks a shit ton better than a lot of other rich botoxed women her age.

She does look great. I feel for Amanda Holden though - clinging on to youth yet still actually looks her age which is no bad thing but her face does belie her.
