Why is Nigella Lawson so beautiful?

[Rhythmisadancer]

I've got such a girl crush on her, and I always have had. She's a bit mad and posh (in the best way). I love her writing and her recipes, and have been brining my Christmas turkey since she first suggested it - it is always delicious. Didn't like her dad much but presumably she did. To me that woman can do no wrong - she's the best thing to have happened to GBBO in a while. I love that she and AH get to hang out. But she is EXTRAORDINARILY beautiful. She makes my world a better place.

She has that voice that comes from an excess of drugs and alcohol, a bit slurry and spaced out. I was a bit shocked.

I agree, I briefly watched Bake Off and was shocked - she sounds like she’s had a stroke. I used to absolutely love her - I use a lot of her recipes and still watch her old shows as comfort TV but she’s like a caricature of herself now which is really sad as I think she’s a nice person who’s had a lot to deal with.

Because some people, like her, tip over to cockiness. Fine to like yourself. Very different to think you're God's gift.

I thought she was alright until she did that magazine cover with treacle running down her face. Too porny for me.

She has a brand and she sells it. She is an attractive woman but I don’t like the patronising way she acts. The posh crumpet thing is a bit tiresome.

She’s elegant until she eats the food on Bake Off. She just seems to stuff the food into her mouth and far too much at a time

I think its a combo of good genetics as a baseline, money and a good surgeon?

I dont have any strong feelings about her either way personally. I like that she hasn't ever been afraid of eating a decent slice of cake, but I do find her voice mildly triggering. She sounds like someone who is drunk but trying to pretend they're sober.

So beautiful and has normal dodgy days. Even better, fair play Nigella

She's certainly not perfect. But does a very good job of working around any imperfections, I.e. ears.

I agree, she's intelligent and I've found that really disappointing. I've stopped watching Bake Off because of her.

Absolutely! 👌

She does have slurred/ indistinct speech and I’m wondering why. It’s slightly distracting. She can’t be intoxicated on tv presumably. Too much lip filler?

I totally agree that she is stunning and also seems so warm and gracious to everyone

wtf?

She certainly scrubs up well and is very photogenic

I used to see her out and about occasionally when she was married to John Diamond - as with most celebrities she was unremarkable in the flesh, when going about ordinary daily life

Talking of Saatchi - not sure if she is still with him but Trinny Woodall is strikingly attractive in real life

She was very beautiful when she was younger and looks good now but does not look 50.

As well as her natural good looks, she's had cosmetic surgery and has the benefit of good lighting technicians, make up artists and hair stylists.

Yeah right. Why would she need to hide her coke use. Everyone in her circle uses it.

Absolutely. Let's not make other women feel inadequate! Also I find the "she looks 50" remarks very strange, it's so difficult to tell women's ages nowadays. Especially if they can afford very good tweakments.

I can't abide Bake Off so no idea what she's like on that but I do like Nigella. Her recipes always work.

Also I find the "she looks 50" remarks very strange, it's so difficult to tell women's ages nowadays. Especially if they can afford very good tweakments.

And often the tweakments don't make someone look younger or better. But a good lighting technician...

I wish she’d pick the plate up level with her mouth and taste the cake from there. I think Prue used to do it that way? More ladylike.

Are you in her circle then? How do you know?

No they have split up.

..plus make up artist! It's a shame because it does make ordinary women feel bad about themselves.

She’s beautiful because of a combination of good genes (from her mother obviously), money, time, cosmetic surgery, makeup and lighting. She can’t be 66 btw (she was in sixth form of my school when I was in Y7 and her younger sister was in my older sister’s class so somewhere along the line a couple of years have been tweaked).

Actually her Dad was quite good looking when he was a young man. I agree though, her mum was beautiful.
