She’s just so gorgeous! Want to look like her.

Really enjoying her new series on Netflix, love every outfit (aside from a shiny puffy jacket maybe)

She’s a Northerner too, so extra points 😂

I thought she was younger than she is though

I think she’s stunning and has a great figure! I don’t think she looks like she’s had anything done - she looks natural to me. Loved her wardrobe in Fool me Once, and her house!

PinkPomeranian · 04/01/2024 23:17

I found her really distracting in Ten Pound Poms because she looked so out of place from the rest of the cast. She reminds me of Kylie Jenner, very beautiful just not in a natural way.

@WhatdoIdoTree ? I didn’t say I wanted to talk about her acting? I said how stunning she was, how much I’m enjoying the new series, loving the wardrobe etc. I do think she’s a good actress too

She’s really beautiful, but I just can’t get over the heavy orange foundation she always wears. Surely she has a make up artist? Or is is a reflection of the characters she plays? I honestly think she is so attractive that the heavy make up just distracts!

When I look at Michelle Keegan I see someone who has paid lots of money to have bits added and other bits removed from her face so that it's completely been manufactured. Aesthetically, it's pleasing to the eye but it's a beauty that I just do not value at all, any more that when I look at my daughter's Barbies or a Disney princess. She had a lovely fresh faced prettiness before she paid someone to give her the same face that Kim Kardashian and Megan Fox asked for. She has had so much work done that I can't take it seriously as a contender for proper beauty, as fierce as she looks.

I agree with this.

You can't really fault her looks, everything is aesthetically pleasing, but it just feels very sterile and unnatural to me.

@Awwlookatmybabyspider How do you know she knows that herself??

I had to turn the show off as her fake plumped up lips were so distracting. She looks very very plastic.

Even my DH noticed how odd her lips looked at times and he knows nothing about lip fillers.

Mainly though, she’s a remarkable acting talent - I think people underrate her because she’s so gorgeous but I reckon she’s going to have a career as big & award winning as someone like Sarah Lancashire eventually.

Nah.

I don't, and I don't rate Sarah Lancashire all that much either.

Well she's won enough Sexiest female competitions (on the soap awards) hasn't she. Lets be honest, they don't give those to ogres, do they,

SweetFemaleAttitude · 04/01/2024 23:28

Wytchy · 04/01/2024 22:53

I think she's an okay actress. I find her orange skin more distracting than any tweakments. Her face doesn't look as uncanny valley in her latest Netflix show as it does in filtered pics. Plenty of movement in her forehead.

But I'd question the wits of any woman who married Mark Wright though.

Couldn't agree more.

I mean, Mark Wright!! He seems like an absolute prick!

LightDrizzle · 04/01/2024 23:30

I had to google her. She is unrecognisable as her pre-surgery self. It must be weird and unpleasant for her mum. I’d hate my daughters to do that ☹️

namechange1986 · 04/01/2024 23:30

She's beautiful now and she was beautiful before any work. I get the comparison to Kylie Jenner with manufactured beauty.

Her body has been consistently stunning over the years.

FUPAgirl · 04/01/2024 23:33

I think she's stunning and I loved her in Fool me Once. Loved her clothes, home, ability to bring down any man on to the ground 😆

Who cares whether or not she's had work done, that's her business.

Inmecomfiesnow · 04/01/2024 23:34

@FUPAgirl 😂Completely agree

It's not anyone's business per say but it can be distracting on camera when acting is your craft.

Boomboom22 · 04/01/2024 23:38

The fact she is a role model, already won lots of sexy awards but then killed her face? Why? She must have terrible self esteem and really hate herself. It's a terrible message for teenage girls and even people like the op. Even the most famous people aren't good enough without becoming barbie.
So yes it very much is others business, she is deliberately trying to get people to look up to her in her shows. Especially reality ones.

Mittens1717 · 04/01/2024 23:39

I never thought she was beautiful at all even in her Corrie days, her lips look awful now, however as someone mentioned up thread her on screen sister Natalie Anderson who used to be in Emmerdale was and still is stunning, she was my female crush back in the day!

I agree. I actually find this à la mode 'carbon copy' look very bland/boring. And I find that I just can't take to actors who have gone down that road; actors are often very attractive, but they also need to have character in their face.

I think this production line look is down to filters, these women (and men) seek to make themselves look like a real life filtered picture!

Louise303 · 04/01/2024 23:45

Very beautiful the prettiest dark brown eyes.

My DP said the same, he said she looked totally unnatural. And even he, in his pretty unobservant way, said she's had clearly lots of work done. She was beautiful before and still is, but it wasn't needed.

SoOutingWhoCares · 04/01/2024 23:46

Changedmymind99 · 04/01/2024 23:09

She’s 36 not 42!

Natalie Anderson is 42.

No one said Michelle Keegan was.

@FreshWinterMorning I didn't mean to imply 42 was ancient. I feel very rubbish about approaching my 40s, so I find her inspiring - that's all.

LightDrizzle · 04/01/2024 23:48

“Probably” had her lips done? Looks natural? This thread demonstrates how the very “done” face is becoming normalised.

There were a couple of times in Fool Me Once when people commented on her looking a bit rough……..as she stood there with flawless makeup, perfect hair and designer outfits.

i think she’s gorgeous and a good actor.

Boomboom22 · 04/01/2024 23:50

She's unrecognisable. I doubt face recognition on an old passport photo would work! Shame.
