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 🤣

I get the absolute opposite from her.

AtillatheHun · 02/09/2022 09:40

It’s hard to understand how she ended up such an icon when Kathy Beale, who she resembles so strongly, never got any props for her looks ;)

gyurghle · 02/09/2022 09:41

She’s a skinny chav from Croyden that got lucky. There’s thousands like her.

Regardless what you think of her she is/was a great model. Who cares about where she comes from?

gyurghle · 02/09/2022 09:42

I've seen in her real life & she is really striking, there aren't many who have those cheekbones.

In a world in which women are expected to be goody-goody and are often competitively so, showing off how hard they work, how perfect their home and family are, how "correct" their views on all subjects, I think Kate Moss offers a refreshing alternative.

I agree. My 90s icons were Kate Moss and Courtney Love. I never wanted to be a goody-goody. And I'll take Kate's style over anything the Kardashians seem to think looks good these days.

Tabbouleh · 02/09/2022 10:41

I would take my cat's style over the Kardashians!

She was/is a drug addict that inspired anorexia in millions of young girls, apart from that she is great 🙄

'Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels'
Springs to my mind.

She's been sober for years.

Have you never said something you regret? Also she wasn't wrong!

SemperIdem · 02/09/2022 11:53

@AtillatheHun

I think the same about Dean Gaffney and David Ghandi! So similar yet perceived so differently.

gyurghle · 02/09/2022 12:20

She's also obviously not someone who starves herself, she has filled out & like most people has a different figure to her teens.

LuckySantangelo35 · 02/09/2022 12:44

all these posters on here saying there are thousands like her and they look better than her

Really?!

have you seen Kate’s cheekbones?! They are not ten a penny

that bone structure is unusual and that’s what makes her so photogenic and and as such such a good model

ArabeI · 02/09/2022 13:30

She did come across well on Desert Island Discs.

I agree; without wishing to sound like fan fiction, its not just her cheekbones. Her entire facial structure is very symmetrical and in proportion. Other people might have pretty faces and good skin and nice eyes, etc but that bone structure is rare.

You do know those aren’t the only choices. 😂

I think she seems to have led a really scummy, chaotic life. Drugs, alcohol, older men, younger men, the types of men. Being with Pete Doherty when she had a young child was really grim. Who would let him around their child?

Dalaidramailama · 02/09/2022 14:05

Her cheekbones weren’t overly noticeable in the very early photos but they did appear during her heroin chic reign. I’m not a fan of sticky out jaw bones due to under eating/drug abuse and the Kardashian’s are an awful comparison.

Cheekbones aren't usually noticable in children/teenagers/early twenties but because people then start losing buccal fat, often become more so. Obviously being slim helps with that.

@Dalaidramailama

some people do just have strong pronounced cheekbones or jaw line though

not anything to do with Ed or drugs

Dalaidramailama · 02/09/2022 14:19

@LuckySantangelo35

They do but Kate Moss’ was certainly attributed to her lifestyle. Is she ugly? Of course not. Has she deserved super model status due to her looks? In my opinion no. It’s just that, an opinion. Could be right, could be wrong. Either way I can’t get that wound up by it. I find the KM fawning very odd.

you are wrong because she still has cheekbones now

I don't think she was ever anorexic and how did she "inspire millions of girls to become anorexic" what hogwash!

Nothing tastes as good as being skinny feels - so what? She felt she would rather stay slim than eat loads more than is actually needed. What's wrong with that?

Dalaidramailama · 02/09/2022 14:26

@LuckySantangelo35

Oh yes she’s holier than thou now isn’t she? Have you ever considered other people might not find excessively protruding cheek bones attractive? It’s not a universal fact. Even if it was a popular opinion others may still disagree.

This whole I’m right your wrong, KM is Soooo cool and beautiful stance is a bit cringey.

Ive always thought Holly Willoughby was a real stunner but many, many people disagree on mumsnet, and that’s fine. Lol.

@Dalaidramailama

they’re not excessively protruding though

your bones don’t have to be well covered by fat to the point of invisibility in order to be healthy

Err she has high cheekbones, yes being slimmer accentuates that but it doesn't give you them.

She's super young here & has very distinctive bone structure

With Kate Moss it isn't just about her looks imo. She's just someone that appears to be cool, individual and doesn't follow the rules. Someone like Holly Willoughby just doesn't have that, even if she is very beautiful. There's not many celebrities that have that I don't think.

Dalaidramailama · 02/09/2022 14:31

They were back in her drugs hey day and it’s not a look I ever found attractive or inspiring. I stand by my original comment and that is I’ve never got the whole KM thing but each to their own.

@Dalaidramailama

the pics that @gyurghle has shared were not in her drugs heyday

cheekbones and defined bone structure does not equal drugs and anorexia lol
