She just seems so nice and unaffected, especially considering the amazing life and attention she’s had. Never seem to hear a bad word about her and she still looks good!
I just basically want to be her and have had her life 🤣

Love Kate! She is still so gorgeous and so cool.

Guess it depends on what you think of as cool. Which varies, no? Currently I think Serena Williams is cool. Others may disagree. It makes for distraction. I don't see the point in getting angry about it.

@Tabbouleh

maybe cool isn’t the right word

edgy, fashion forward I dunno

km obviously has something though or she’s never have survived so long in such a fickle and cut throat industry

According to the Vogue interview, Lila is about to start a design course in New York and is very serious & studious, so perhaps the modeling was a just a bit of fun during her gap year.

Seriously? The Vogue interview I linked to said she wanted to work with Gray Sorrenti (photographer) and learn to knit. Doesn't sound remotely studious to me.

EachandEveryone · 01/09/2022 16:18

Didnt Lilas father have custody of her when she was growing up? Im pretty sure that was the case. I cant see anywhere that says shes doing a Brooklyn Beckham and studying in New York. At least with her diabetes she wont beable to put a foot wrong when it comes to her health so wont be following in her mums footsteps in that respect.

GoingOnce · 01/09/2022 16:31

She made some very strange comments about Hugh Hefner and his den of sin back in the day. Said it has a lovely family atmosphere and everyone was so happy and friendly to her.

Moss, now 48, radiated at this year’s Met Gala, and she is the first to admit as much. “I just wanted to be grown up,” she says, of some serious life changes she’s been making over the last decade, inspired in part by her “very well-behaved, very studious” daughter, Lila, 19, who is headed to Parsons School of Design in New York this fall

Plenty of wealthy kids go to study in the States, I think the Brooklyn Beckham comparison is a bit off! 😁

TarasHarp55 · 01/09/2022 16:35

She was once renting a gorgeous cottage. According to the owners she left it in an awful state.

notwavingbutdrowning1 · 01/09/2022 16:42

Can’t imagine how Lila Moss found time to do her A levels! (needed for Parsons School of Design)

Prangie · 01/09/2022 16:46

@EachandEveryone why exactly can Lila Moss not be able to 'put a foot wrong' due to being a Type 1 diabetic...?

EachandEveryone · 01/09/2022 16:51

Well , if shes being diabetic since she was a young child I wouldve thought she was well aware of the dangers of boozing too much and eating properly etc. Having to be more intouch with her body and all of that. And before you jump down my throat I do have first hand experience.

BB went to Parsons as well. Its amazing the breaks these dc get.

Why didnt you quote the end of that sentence?

FromEden · 01/09/2022 16:53

She allowed her baby daughter to live in filth and squalor and, if she hadn’t been so famous, would have had her daughter taken away from her.

Did she though? I have never heard this, do you have a source? Surely she had enough money to have nannies and housekeepers etc and to ensure her daughter was well looked after even if she was partying at the time. Didn't Lilas dad also share custody?

TarasHarp55 · 01/09/2022 16:59

LuckySantangelo35 · 01/09/2022 15:23

She's just so effortlessly cool!

yup

and people on here can bang on about how she used to do drugs, or isn’t a good role model, or how they think they think they look better than her but none of it matters really does it

kate was cool, is cool and will forever be cool

slag her off all you want but she’s winning at life

So the rest of us are losers?

Prangie · 01/09/2022 17:01

@EachandEveryone I didn't finish the sentence as I was making it short, that's all!
Why would I jump down your throat? I am a Type 1 diabetic and while it's obviously not ideal to go on a bender, I strongly suspect there aren't many Type 1's who never have
, especially when young and feeling invincible!

Prangie · 01/09/2022 17:04

(I am typing on my phone s'cuse the weird layout!)

WoodlandMummy · 01/09/2022 17:04

susan12345678 · 01/09/2022 12:12

.I’m not sure if she'd be anywhere near as successful today. Probably too short for starters

Well her daughter is even shorter than her (and much less attractive) and walking on catwalks now!

I love Kate Moss, she’s an icon

Have you not heard of nepotism?

Yanbu she's amazing I love her.

Hurrrrah · 01/09/2022 17:09

I thought she was a coke head for years? Lots of failed relationships too. Not sure why you'd want her life, maybe her money?

notwavingbutdrowning1 · 01/09/2022 17:10

BB went to Parsons as well. Its amazing the breaks these dc get.

Yep. I suspect entrance requirements were quietly waived. The atrocious thing is they’ll think they got there on their own talents. I’m sure their lives consist of people telling them how wonderful they are.

The best thing celeb parents could do for their kids is stop opening doors for them.

This interview with Lila Moss is quite revealing. No, her mother wasn't keen on her being a model - but she signed her up to the Kate Moss Agency (if I was Lila - and I'm very much not - I would want to distance myself and see if I could make it on my own). Lila was doing a Marc Jacobs campaign at age 15. That I really don't get. How could KM put her through the child-model phase that she herself went through? It brings to mind those men who had a miserable time at boarding school but nevertheless insist on sending their own sons there.

And, re lateness, according to the article Kate Moss is notoriously late for things and once kept the journalist waiting for 3 hours at the Paris Ritz (there are worse places to wait, but even so ...).

This link should come with a warning for offences against fashion. The penis dress is burned into my retinas!

notwavingbutdrowning1 · 01/09/2022 17:19

The penis dress is burned into my retinas!

Do you mean the one where she appears to be wrapped in cling film and has mislaid her nipples? Completely baffling.

Rinatinabina · 01/09/2022 17:48

Must have been hard basically growing up in the public eye like that. Can’t have been pleasant. You probably don’t grow up in a the way most people do, you have to deal with really adult stuff too early. There has to have been consequences for her. I doubt it’s all been gilded and lovely. Who looks at their 15yr old and seriously thinks they are emotionally and cognitively competent enough to cope well. Not surprised she ended up using drugs over whatever period of time. I would have at the very least been permanently drunk if I had that much money at such a young age. And god can you imagine the old perverts letching on her. I would have totally crashed and burned.

I think she’s done well to keep her career going for so long. I do think it’s easier to look great if you are naturally very slim and have shit tons of money and time

EachandEveryone · 01/09/2022 18:04

I think shes had good surgical intervention, looks like a boob job as well unless its just the style of blouse shes taken to wearing.

LittleFluffyCloudz · 01/09/2022 18:15

She isn't popular on mumsnet because she doesn't have the mumsnet haircut and dress in Seasalt/Joules/FatFace.

Tabbouleh · 01/09/2022 18:42

She is clearly incredibly popular because there have been at least 3 recent threads about how fabulous she is?
