She has a baby face and obviously looks after herself. All that stunning dark hair casacading and her skin, oh that skin.

I look younger, always have, however... people stopped asking me for ID whenever I bought alcohol in the last 3 years. It pisses me off. Im 47 and they are batso. No way did I look that young and its all about how one dresses and how shapely they are. I often got told that I don't dress like a woman in her 40's. How is a woman in her 40's supposed to dress? Hmm

@StrychnineInTheSandwiches

Some posters on here would have us believe that they are often mistaken for 26/27 at 45! Like a generation younger!

Yes. I have seen a few posts where middle aged posters are adamant that everyone thinks they're their 21 year old child's sibling. They do make me laugh. And then roll my eyes!

True... And hilarious too....., because someone actually did exactly THAT within 5 minutes of your post! Grin Claiming that people call her a LIAR when she introduces her daughter to someone - because she and her daughter apparently look the same age! PMSL!!!!! 🤣

35 is old?

She looks her age.

Plenty of women look like that at 35.

One of my DDs is almost that age and still gets ID (she could pass for 25 or younger.)

What does 35 look like then?

To be honest I think she looks around 35! She is beautiful but also most times you see her she has professional make up etc. Show a picture of her without make up and it would be easier to age her.

Not a fan of brown eyes.

Seriously? Have you just found one more thing to judge people on?

🦆 me... looking good in your 'thirties' shouldn't be a thing 🤦🏻‍♀️ Looking good for your 20's, 30's, 40's, 50's , 60's (I could go on) should be a thing. Meaning that we look good at any bloody age! It's internal and external! Internal = mindset, confidence, experience, emotional intelligence, kindness. External = Self care, health (if you are still lucky enough to have it), fitness etc etc. both lists are. Not. Exhaustive...

She looks beautiful but she looks around 32 - 35. No way she looks 18.

I'm 34, nearly 35, and I don't think she'd look out of place in my friendship group of women aged about 31-37. Equally, if I'd been told she was 28 I could believe that too. It's hard to guess someone's age given everyone looks so different 🤷🏻‍♀️.

Adele's stage look is full make-up, big set hair-do, and full length evening gowns and that gives the impression of an older woman.

It's all so subjective. To me Kate Middleton is a good looking woman who is glossy and groomed. But take that away and she's the girl next door. And nothing wrong with that!

@episcomama

Adele's only 33? I'm surprised. I'd have said 40.

I thought Adele was older too! Jenna looks late 20s, but I thought Adele was 40.

Isn’t Rosie around 35 now too? She seems to look younger

@papayaorange No of course 35 is not old, I just think (especially in the Boots Ad) she looks about 18

Seriously? I guessed late 20s-early 30s. Might be because she has a round face.

@turnaroundtime

She is cute looking with a roundish face. That sort of look does tend to age well

yes, cute rather than beautiful - to me beautiful is long graceful lines, longer neck, longer legs, not a small cute nose, etc.
I think Rosie Huntington-Whitely, Jerry Hall, Kate Middleton are beautiful.

She looks lovely and (not "but") to me she clearly looks like a woman in her 30s. Early thirties, maybe, but thirties to be sure.

She's gorgeous, and a marvelous actress. She was incredible in the Serpent, which is an amazing series!

Yes, all those people who say, "people often can't believe I have teenage children". It's just people saying what you want them to say. You can tell by their look of expectation when they tell you they have children at uni Grin I always say, "wow, I can't believe it", even when I don't think it (at all) but I don't like to disappoint and it always seems to make their day. It's nice to make people happy, even though its utter bollocks Grin

Electric dreams I remember a man telling me I was old when I was 34. And I asked him how old he was, and he was 34 too!
The mind boggles. I met that man while I was traveling

I remember I said to him pointedly "so I am the same age as you then".

What he was saying was he was young at 34, but I as a WOMAN of 34 should be at home with five kids not out travelling by myself
