Apologies for the DM link but here goes :

I think she still looks great but this picture really illustrates the extent to which all the magazine pics and ads are basically photoshopped the shit out of, aren't they !!? I mean, I always realised that, but still ! I've seen KM in magazine ads recently and there is not a mark on her face. She still looks radiant here, even with the lines around her eyes, but wouldn't it be so bloody refreshing if you saw more of this in the magazines. She's not 20 anymore, as this pic demonstrates, so why make her look like a 20yr old in the ads ? These companies really do think we're as thick as shit don't they ?

I like the clothes she suits them it has a 70s bohemian vibe that is really her. The kind of clothes the tabloids consider young and groovy are all a bit loose women biker jacket heels jeans and flouncy top and over styled hair. She looks cool

wrinkles aren't too bad considering the stink-sticks and alleged other substances, but bad case of grandma's hairstyle and getting dressed in the dark.

Suzannewithaplan · 15/04/2014 17:48

It's depressing to be constantly told that 60 year olds can look like 40 year olds used to

What better way for the beauty & cosmetics industry to keep extracting a profit out of us!

noddyholder · 15/04/2014 17:50

I love the hair so refreshing and natural but then I wear mine like that most days and hate anything styled.

dorathedestroyer · 15/04/2014 18:06

I'm just amazed that the Mail hasn't used the fact of her wearing a loose-fitting outfit to try to insinuate she's either pregnant or has put on a pound or two. Sorry, 'is embracing her curves'.

It's a poisonous rag, truly.

Ubik1 · 15/04/2014 18:33

Perhaps the crow’s feet and other blemishes added to the effect – and left onlookers speculating her hard-partying ways appear finally to be taking their toll on the mother of one.

They really hate her don't they

Ubik1 · 15/04/2014 18:35

But I am 40 and no way could I carry off that suit she's wearing. I would look like a ship in full sail.

Legologgo · 15/04/2014 18:35

why was Kate moss there? I dont get her link

FoxyHarlow123 · 15/04/2014 18:38

I love KM and think she's one of the most iconic and beautiful women alive. She photographs like no one else, hence her enduring presence. To disagree with everyone else though, I think she's got a bit of Botox between her eyebrows, as there's not even the slightest shadow of 11s there.

bigTillyMint · 15/04/2014 18:39

KM is gorgrous -IMHO there's nothing wrong with wrinkles, but everything wrong with botox. But I'm not sure about the outfitConfused

Legologgo · 15/04/2014 18:39

WHY do people call them 11s?

do people have two lines? i have ONE

Suzannewithaplan · 15/04/2014 18:41

I think she looks great and agree with Foxy...she looks as if she may have a little botox between the eyebrows

MarshaBrady · 15/04/2014 18:42

She still looks good, but the DM and others will be on the hunt for bad shots now.

GiddyUpCowboy · 15/04/2014 18:42

What is the problem you hit 40 and you are middle aged? Middle aged can look like Kate Winslet or Kate Moss. KM has lived a wild life and has no fat on her, what else do you expect her to look like at her age?

RyvitaSesame · 15/04/2014 18:43

I think she made her choices and lived her life. When claudia schiffer was going to bed at half ten and getting up at six to eat a kale smoothie, KM was out having a laugh. KM seems (but who knows) able for ageing.

ageing might fuck her career but it won't stand in the way of her social life.

DelGirl · 15/04/2014 18:46

That's made me feel a little better, lines are appearing on my face like that, probably as I'm losing weight but I'm 48.

FoxyHarlow123 · 15/04/2014 18:48

Some faces gets 11s, some get 1s! 11s just sounds a bit more descriptive and is instantly understandable shorthand.

foxdongle · 15/04/2014 19:21

nasty, bitchy article. they've picked the worse picture of her.

The fuss that's made over a few wrinkles fgs.

Her face will wrinkle she's a supermodel not a super hero with special non-aging powers.

And she's lived and enjoyed herself , which to me is better than those saddo celebs that can't eat this and can't do that. (boring)

Floisme · 15/04/2014 19:26

I've always liked Kate Moss and now I think I love her! You hit your forties - you get wrinkles, it's really no big deal. The way women are routinely airbrushed and photoshopped makes me angry.

TSSDNCOP · 15/04/2014 19:31

With the Fail the only "onlookers speculating" are the misogynistic cunts on their reporting staff.

The rest of the human race just goes "there's Kate having a blast as usual and looking pretty bloody amazing, lucky thing"

fanjoforthemammaries7850 · 15/04/2014 19:36

I don't have wrinkles at 42.

But would happily have some if I looked like her.

Lighthousekeeping · 15/04/2014 19:36

Thank god they've stopped asking if she's pregnant. What's wrong with them? It's all they go on about. As if we dare. She looks amazing and natural. I'm guessing if she didn't have all that money and access to the best treatments she would look more lived in than she does now.

Eastpoint · 15/04/2014 20:04

I think she looks really good & that it's a great outfit. Looks as if it would hide the effects of a few Easter Eggs.

Lizzylou · 15/04/2014 20:26

I am sameish age as KM and don't have 11s or a 1, my eyes are a bit crinkly from years of squinting shortsightedly and being too vain to wear glasses, until I got contacts. I am a tad more padded than KM though.
I love the comparison with Claudia Schiffer, I would rather be KM or mates with her over Claudia any day of the weekGrin

TheWordFactory · 15/04/2014 20:33

It doesn't matter how many wrinkles KM gets, she will always be youthful.

She has nejoyed her life, and why not?
