Tess Daly..had no idea, how amazing does she look for 52, ten years older than me. Just been reading she had her girls later in life too, they just don’t look like an ‘In their 50’s family’ 🤷🏻‍♀️
Are we all living longer nowadays? Is 50 actually the new 40 and 40 the new 30?

@Eesha What specific reasons? So she’s bisexual? I’m confused

Eesha · 30/10/2021 22:52

@90dayfianceaddiction they have lawyers stopping any stories about them because it would impact the family. Same for the Beckhams and his gazillion other kids not by VB

Yes she looks fabulous.

It helps having money and the best hair and make up artists too.

carpetbugs · 30/10/2021 22:58

And gifted! You forgot gifted

Oh yes. "My 2 yr old can read Biff books is she advanced?" "Nah, my 1 yr old used to read Tolstoy in between naps".

They have been hacked as part of the Graff virtual heist.

She's beautiful and if she's had work done then it's very tasteful. Couldn't care less if people have work done, as long as it's safe and they don't regret it. She's always been gorgeous anyway.

funny what money can do

@Doingtheboxerbeat

How does Amanda Holden look better at 50 than she did 20 years ago 😲??? How is that even possible? And it's no good telling me she has had work done, because people half her age have had work done and don't look as good as her, in my opinion 😕.

No she doesn't. She doesn't look better. She looks OK, but looks her age, and looks very plasticky and botoxy. You need new glasses if you think she doesn't look like she has had anything done.

BiLuminous · 30/10/2021 23:18

You can eat a healthy diet, exercise and look good if you want. You don't need money to do that.

I don't personally because I'm a big lazy shit.

Blankscreen · 30/10/2021 23:22

I was saying to my dh the other day that Tess looks fab.

Good for her - it is her job and she obviously has a lot of money which will help, but why hate her for it.

CounsellorTroi · 30/10/2021 23:25

I think her hands and arms look her age.

Romantique · 30/10/2021 23:26

Look at Donna D’Errico. She’s 53 but looks 30. Her surgeon did a great job

Er, no Donna absolutely does NOT look 30! She looks 50. Looks OK I will admit, but you need to go to Specsavers if you think she looks 30!
She’s 52…!

@DoraMaude

I'm in my late 50s. When I was in my early 50s I looked like I was in my 40s. I now look my age. In my experience up until about 54/55 women can look years younger, but then it suddenly catches up with you.

Tess does look great.

I do agree. But I would say age catches up with people by 47-50 rather than 55. I have seen a 45 y.o. look 38-39, and then by 47, they look 47-50. So they seem to age 10 years in a couple of years.

I have not seen ONE person past their early 50s who looks younger. In fact everyone looks their age within about 5 years. It's a fact that people look their age. People in their 60s look like people in their 60s, and people in their 70s look like people in their 70s, and so on and so on...

Why would they not? And what on earth is wrong with it? Why are people (especially women) so desperate to insist everyone thinks they look sooooooo young?

And who are all these people saying these mumsnet women look so young, and why are they even saying it? Why are you telling them your age? It's so bizarre.

I have lived in my current home for 10 years, and met/spoke to about 150 different people in the area in that time. Not ONCE has anyone asked my age.

So who are all these people, asking the ever-youthful mumsnetters who look a generation younger (apparently,) than their age??? And why are they asking? Or do you volunteer your age, hoping someone will say 'ooooh, but you look so YOUNGGGGGGGGG!'

@julieca

Arlene Foster 51 years old

Tess Daly 52 years old

Different genetics, facial structures, weight, and personal values.

It's like putting up a picture of Dominic Cummings versus Ewan McGregor or John Hamm, simply because they have the same birth year. It's meaningless.

Some people are better looking, and in the public eye to some degree purely because of that, which means they may have to focus on maintaining their good looks. And some people do age well, and lifestyle factors into that, also.

julieca · 30/10/2021 23:45

@LittleDandelionClock it is often based on getting IDed. I have read various cashiers say they have targets of how many people to ID a day. Many choose to ask middle-aged women for ID as they are the only group to be pleased to get IDed. Everyone else they get hassle from.

Proudboomer · 30/10/2021 23:48

I have no idea who Donna D’Errico is but looking at the picture posted there is no way anyone would think she is 30. Her neck and under eyes are a dead give away of her age plus her dye job is to brassy for her skin tone and eye brows.

julieca · 30/10/2021 23:48

Looking your age is fine.

milkyaqua · 30/10/2021 23:53

Not looking your age is very pleasant, also.

LittleDandelionClock · 30/10/2021 23:59

Except everyone does look their age. Anyone who thinks they don't is deluded.

So cashiers ask middle aged women for I.D. just for a laugh? So they will actually think they must look 20 years younger?!
whynotwhatknot · 31/10/2021 00:02

dont get me started on nicle kidman she looks like one of those porcelian dolls her face doesnt move-i dont know why she felt she hd to have all her freckles removed

90dayfianceaddiction · 31/10/2021 00:05

@eesha what?! How do you know this?

mandes1 · 31/10/2021 00:09

I am 50 and get told I look much younger all the time. Usually 30ish, although a couple of weeks ago a client thought I was in my twenties!

I am black and people often say black people age at a slower rate. Not in every case obviously x

I must admit, black people tend to look younger (for their age) than white people. But not 30 when they are 50. Maybe 40, when they are 50, but not 301

And who are all these people telling you that you look 20 years younger? Why are they asking your your age? Or do you volunteer it? And if so, why? Confused
