Tess Daley, what’s her secret?

She’s 51 and looks like she’s in her 30s naturally, with no cosmetic intervention other than make up IMHO. How?!

She’s probably had Botox etc

SimonJT · 05/12/2020 19:58

There is no way she hasn’t had medical intervention, which isn’t a problem. Shes just had very good work that looks natural, hasn’t given her odd shaped eyes etc.

sassbott · 05/12/2020 19:58

No cosmetic intervention? Hmm. Do people really think a celeb looks like that at 50 with no ‘intervention?’

IhateBoswell · 05/12/2020 19:59

No cosmetic intervention? C’mon...

SandysMam · 05/12/2020 20:01

I think it helps that she was incredibly tall and willowy to start with. Like lots of super model types she has aged very well.
Her hair is kept in a young style which helps as does following fashion etc but you are right, she looks absolutely incredible!

I doubt she's not had any mild cosmetic procedures. Whether that's fillers, or facial peels or whatever.

She's also wealthy, can afford to pay to take care of her skin, has access to the best makeup artists, and is able to keep herself well groomed.

And don't underestimate the effect of good lighting. She looks great, but it isn't a wonder to me.

Money! 😉 🤑

But in all seriousness, if you have money then you are more likely to have a good diet with lots of healthy and organic food, access to personal trainers, access to expensive cosmetic and beauty treatments, good hairdressers, clothes made for you or tailored for you, and if you’re not bogged down in the stresses of paying the gas bill or finding childcare you most likely will look better (not that rich people can’t get stressed of course, but a lot of things which stress people with less money are taken care of).

She's beautiful 😍 I don't think she'd had surgery, I think she's just lucky.

megletthesecond · 05/12/2020 20:08

Of course she's had cosmetic enhancement.
Plus good diet, personal trainer, cleaners, nanny / family help / splitting work time with her DH all takes the pressure off.

sassbott and IhateBoswell, I’d usually be the first to say that too, but whoever has done the work has done a fantastic job, she looks so natural. I’m a few years younger than her and look at least 15 years older 😩, been putting off Botox for many years as I think it looks obvious on most people from those I’ve seen. I would like a ‘refreshed’ look but wouldn’t know where to start. I agree that lightning and model looks must help though

Money.

Fluffycloudland77 · 05/12/2020 20:23

If I was married to a man like that I’d keep myself looking fit too.

Clymene · 05/12/2020 20:28

Facelifts.

PegasusReturns · 05/12/2020 20:29

Oh come on OP of course she’s had work Grin

Yes.

Very few posts acknowledge the main reason why she looks so good.....it's because she's BEAUTIFUL!!!!

Eh I can honestly say if I had "money", as you put it, I wouldn't be looking like tess
Thehop · 05/12/2020 20:33

She’s beautiful anyway but stilll likely to have subtle Botox and face peels? Combined with excellent skincare and diet/lifestyle.

hadesinahalfahell · 05/12/2020 20:35

Is she really 51?? She looks amazing

GreyishDays · 05/12/2020 20:35

She’s in this article which mocks up what celebrities would look like if they’d aged naturally. I have no idea if it’s valid or not but it makes me feel better about how I look!

starrynight19 · 05/12/2020 20:35

She really is amazing. Yes I’m sure she has had paid to get her look but best wishes to her. She looks fab for 50

PlanDeRaccordement · 05/12/2020 20:36

She’s had fillers, Botox, tummy tuck. You can see her face has changed.
