She’s on the One Show. My son looked up her age as he didn’t believe she could be pushing 60. She looks 30. What the heck?

the tv and make up do a lot

she’s just as wrinkly as the rest of us underneath - as is Tess daly despite the floorless look on strictly

I did read many times she's not a particularly nice person and doesn't have any friends

I've never read that and wonder why you'd post that.

I worked for her record company for a number of years (not in a "star" meeting role but would occasionally met them when dealing with contracts).
She was a delightful person. Doesn't have many friends per se (as we don't when we get older) but has close relationships with her family and a small group. She is blessed with very good genes. Her mum is very elegant and also petite. And, as others have said, her looks are part of her brand and she invests in herself.
We were the same height although I was 3cm taller and (at least) 3kg heavier so we looked very different. However, we share the same shoe size and when I left the company she gave me the most incredible pair of Laboutins.
What is the point of being mean to a woman who has done so well?

I've got no reason to like or dislike her, though as a child I was a fan when she started her solo career. I did read many times she's not a particularly nice person and doesn't have any friends. Which is sad but don't know how true that is.

Many years ago, around 1991, one of my clerks at that time served her, and commented that she looked a bit like Charlene from Neighbours. He was gob-smacked with her reply. She was lovely with him.

SidekickSylvia · 05/12/2025 20:19

If she's had work done, it's very good as she still looks like she did when younger. Some celebrities are unrecognisable from their younger selves, but she still looks like Kylie. I've only ever heard that she's lovely to work with.

What's a floorless look?

Doggielovelouie · 05/12/2025 20:20

I always think she looks like a child in her body and not a women

don’t agree she’s beautiful

Oh dear, 🫤

Do some people really not understand that the OP is joking? Note to self put LIGHT-HEARTED in your thread title to save all the 🙄 coming your way next time @GumFossil .

Oh come on she doesn’t look 30 years younger! Fifties with a lot of work done - she has that Fox News anchor look. I like her music a lot but she doesn’t look like a 30 year old in any way.

This.

Have you ever seen a 30 year old op? 😂

She's absolutely looking good for her age but on no planet does she look anywhere near 30!

SL2924 · 05/12/2025 19:58

No kids. No husband.

@SL2924 And that is a problem because?
Are people like Kylie and Jennifer Aniston less than? (Not to mention countless other non-famous people). I thought we strove for choices.

Bless their hearts. Life can be tough when you don’t have a sense of humour.

Tigerbalmshark · 05/12/2025 20:22

I personally think Mariah is looking better than her - Mariah’s round face means the filler looks quite natural

heartofsunshine · 05/12/2025 20:24

Princess Kylie. I love her so much.

Ah, ok. I'm Scottish so the two words sound completely different to me.

Scout2016 · 05/12/2025 20:26

Oh god yeah, I'd forgotten about the duet with Nick Cave and fling with MH. Good for her. That's the sort of finding myself phase I'd whole heartedly welcome.

I was in the Danni Minogue fanclub as a kid but then I have always been an awkward bugger. It was mainly her punky Home and Way character I think. Must have been, because I can't recall a single song.

BatchCookBabe · 05/12/2025 20:26

She is gorgeous, and vibrant, and lovely, with a luminous smile, and a pretty face, but she doesn't look 30. 😂

I can only surmise that you're joshing. She looks around 50, and has had some 'help' to not look her age, although it's quite subtle as she looks 'normal' and still looks like her.

She's lovely, and she looks younger than 57, but only 7-8 years younger. Everyone looks their age within 7-8 years either side, when you look at them properly/closer...

ranoutofquinoaandprosecco · 05/12/2025 20:28

I think she looks fab and age appropriate, I’m also a breast cancer survivor (9 years younger than Kylie) and hope I look like her in a few years!

Justwanttobebythesea · 05/12/2025 20:28

I thought she looked good. Def a facelift to get that tight jawline. Being petite also helps her youthful appearance. Although I do prefer the celebs who look good with signs of ageing e.g SJP, Emma Thompson, Kate Winslett but Kylie has always traded off that cutesy girlie look

I’m pretty sure Kylie wouldn’t want to swap with you either, she certainly isn’t Miss average following the herd.

YouJustLikeToLetYourselfDown · 05/12/2025 20:30

She looks great, but she doesn’t look 30! She looks like a well groomed woman in her late 40s. Shes attractive, petite and keeps her hair in a ‘younger’ style which helps her look younger, but facially she doesn’t look 30.

Doggielovelouie · 05/12/2025 20:30

Just looked her up - she looks very worked on to me

the best plastic surgery I’ve seen is Toyah Wilcox - but through the tv

Genevieva · 05/12/2025 20:31

Those people never look that good in real life and, if they go too far, like Madonna, they destroy their appearance.

CombatBarbie · 05/12/2025 20:33

Pretty much the same as Jennifer Aniston, no kids etc. Although Jennifer seems to be ageing more sympathetically to her actual age than Kylie. There's reasons they both have huge gay and fem crush fan bases.
