how the flipping heck does Nigella look like that?

She looks so gorgeous?

How?????

Carol Kirkwood is 55 and doesn't look like she has had work done. She still looks attractive and feminine without having the puffy look of fillers and lip injections.

I've met her in real life and she looks the same as she does on the TV.

Yes! Carol Kirkwood looks great and very natural. Great figure too.

Yes, Carol Kirkwood is definitely a fabulous exception to my theory. I'd say Annie Lennox is another. Can't think of any more though!

I think there are quite a few women over 40, who still look great & not overly worked on. Here's my starter for ten!

Sian Williams
Stephanie Flanders
Emma Thompson
Helen Mirren - with bells on
Kristen Scott Thomas
Cate Blanchett

Joanna Lumley looked fabulous for ages and then had work done, which I thought made her look far less attractive.

I saw her at a book signing late on a drizzly November afternoon. It was her last stop on a day-long tour of shopping centres round the M25. She still looked beautiful. Hardly any make-up, great posture, and the best manners I've ever come across from someone in the public eye. Modest and unassuming.

I like her style of cooking, too. Like Delia, she says she's a cook, not a chef, which suits me fine.

Face (jowel) lift- but stunning woman.

No relevance at all to the thread, but she's also incredibly clever!

I think she’s is a natural beauty who’s given in to a few tweaks. With her disposable income and being in the public eye, that’s understandable. She probably wanted to avoid the potential coke-ravage too.

But it’s not just women, so many male celebs (and non-celebs), get their Botox and hair implants or whatever. As endemic as it is it’s not just a female thing.

Doesn’t mean I agree, I wish we were happier with ourselves generally- and say this as an ex-Botox consumer.

It’s exceptional make up and amazing lighting plus some really good work done in post.

I used to love her but found this new show excruciatingly fake and unnatural.

Here she is

She's lost weight

Yes Someone I only watched a short piece - she seemed very self-conscious, it didn't seem very natural at all.

Not so great here

I think botox soon gives that alcoholicoverblown "Shelley-Winters-In-Alfie" look. Even Madonna - who can afford the best - has that strange puffy look with tiny gingerbread eyes. It also takes away from facial expression. Thats seriously undesirable, spooky, spooky Stepford Wives territory in my book .

I meant to do halloween then!

She might not look groomed on those pics but she still looks stunning.

I think shes looking a bit Jacko tbh 😂

She's damned if she does and damned if she doesnt.

I'd love to see you lot at 57....

Indeed Bugger . Pics or it didn’t happen.

I think Madonna has overdone the fillers, that's what causes the puffy, small eyed look. Courtney Cockx did the same for a while.
I think we all agree too much/bad Botox/fillers is a bad look. However, some people do get it right and looks great.

Courtney Cox not Cock!! 😂

I’ll look like an old lady and let nature do its thing 😊

I’ll be proud of every grey hair, laughter line, sag, stretch mark or scar.

They tell my story 😊

Er, I am nearly 57, and don't look so bad No botox either!

But anyway agree with Daisy.

More than what she looks like though, I hope she’s found herself a decent new bloke - she’s had a terrible run of luck - used to read poor John diamond’s column when I was young and then she rushed into Saatchi and it’s obvious he’s horrible.
