She looked amazing today & 20 years younger than her true age.

She's bloody gorgeous!

wannabedomesticgoddess · 04/12/2013 23:40

She looks fabulous. Truly stunning actually, I have been thinking this all day.

MistAllChuckingFrighty · 04/12/2013 23:41

She is an exceptionally beautiful woman.

NorthernLebkuchen · 04/12/2013 23:43

She did indeed look amazing. Her kids must be bloody proud of her.

fanjoforthemammaries7850 · 04/12/2013 23:47

She looks gorgeous but pretty sure she has had quite a bit of (effective) work done

Yakky · 04/12/2013 23:52

Well they say money can't buy happiness, but it can buy you a hell of a lot of Botox, fillers, etc.

MistAllChuckingFrighty · 04/12/2013 23:53

I would be surprised if she hasn't had work done....most famous tv presenters have, it's like collateral damage to maintain their career. Still beautiful though.

jasmine1979 · 04/12/2013 23:55

I thought she looked fantastic as well. I have to admit thoughthat one of my first thoughts was that she had had a few things "done" recently. Not quite Michael Jackson yet, but did have that certain look about her I think?

Fairylea · 04/12/2013 23:57

I would be happy to look half as good as her at her age!

trufflesnuffler · 05/12/2013 00:03

Where did you see her?

Mrswellyboot · 05/12/2013 00:05

As a straight happily married woman I think she is sex on legs. ... Grin

Curioustiger · 05/12/2013 00:14

I agree she has probably had help but she is so so naturally beautiful as well. I could have the world's best surgeons working on my face and I would never look as beautiful as that! She is like a renaissance portrait.

'Where did you see her?' GrinGrin

I don't think she looks particularly surgeried. Great eyebrows framing her face and good false lashes. Good blow dry too. Very groomed.

squoosh · 05/12/2013 03:08

She's taken such good care of her skin, love the contrast between the pale complexion and the dark brown hair.

plentyofsoap · 05/12/2013 03:10

I saw her on the news and she looked amazing. Her eyebrows looked fab Grin

Eastpoint · 05/12/2013 06:38

I think she's had work done as her jawline is so tight & that's fine. I wish I was brave enough.

Her responses in court to the personal questions by the defence team seem very good & I hope her career isn't damaged by this trial.

Petitgrain · 05/12/2013 06:46

Her career will go stellar now! Beauty, brains, class, vulnerability, people love her more than ever. The way she handled herself in court was perfection.

dexter73 · 05/12/2013 06:58

I think she looks great at the moment but is on the edge of looking like she has had too much work done.

Aquelven · 05/12/2013 07:17

She must have had work done. I distinctly remember seeing photos of her, soon after she'd lost most of the weight, in which she looked much older than she does now. I was actually shocked,watching the news yesterday, at how different she looks now. She does look amazing though.

Curioustiger · 05/12/2013 07:17

I think the reason she looks like she's had work is not that she looks 'surgeried' to borrow a useful phrase from above but because it's simply impossible to look that young naturally at 53! If I'd seen her in the street I would put her in her early thirties. And good for her!

dexter73 · 05/12/2013 07:22

I think I would rather have a few wrinkles like Emma Thompson. There was barely a crease in sight on Nigella's face.

austenozzy · 05/12/2013 07:28

she's the same age as "dr" gillian mckeith! now, mung beans or triple choc cheesecake...?

KosherBacon · 05/12/2013 07:46

The Daily Mail had done pictures of her with John Diamond. She was so radiant in those days, such a natural beauty. Now she's got the generic Botox/ fillers/ cats eyes that people have. I personally think she would probably look even better without the work and her natural beauty would show through.

BunnyLebowski · 05/12/2013 08:18

She's definitely had work done but yes she looks incredibly beautiful.

The first Daily Fail court sketch is terrible Shock . It makes her look like Nancy dell'olio!!

JapaneseMargaret · 05/12/2013 09:25

I was saying to DH, she's clearly had a load of work done - 53 year old women simply do not look like that.

I mean, she is stunning - absolutely beautiful - but most 53 year old can never hope to look like that without spending vast amounts of money.
