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 ?

My younger brother hung out in her circle in his 30s and I think she is 40 now maybe not though

I would say it would've been hide to lie about her age as she was discovered as a school girl or was she older? I thought she was 15 at the airport

There's an article today comparing her and VB both turning 40. I think I'd rather be Kate.

She's smiling, of course she's got lines !

Claudia Schiffer looks fantastic in real life. Slim and fluid, with zero wrinkles and incredible soft, thick blond hair. She looks about 12, to be honest.

She looks fantastic and if I look anything like that at 40 i will be well chuffed. Not sure why this is a thread, women have a hard enough time getting older, shame some other women seem to add to the criticism.

Tweet this has been a pretty pro-Kate thread.

She drinks, smokes, sunbathes and ( I would guess) had a poor diet - and that shows in her face. She's still beautiful though.

Corygal I love Claudia Schiffer's 1970's style, she does look fantastic. Suspect Kate is better fun though!

She looks as old as me - I'm 55, but have never smoked.

She looks glowing and happy, much better than she usually looks when she's papped actually. The more polished look suits her and i love the outfit.

nice to see her looking quite natural with a big smile, good on her.

Why would she have a bad diet?

She looks stunning. The average 40 year old woman looks much older than she does.
She has no sagging at all on her face or neck which is much more ageing than wrinkles and more difficult to disguise.

Obviously as a model she is going to be judged on her appearance. I have never thought she was attractive when compared to other models. But maybe that is the point? Maybe people liked her because she did look different and they felt a connection to a period of time or to the difference. Perhaps she opened the door to a wider range of looks for models.

she'd have a bad diet because she's a model and they mostly live off fags, booze and black coffee.

Tweet2tweet - I didn't start this thread with the intention of slagging off KM and don't think I did in my original post.

She looks amazing

And good on her for not succumbing to Botox / fillers / surgery

She still looks great but I can't say I'm not secretly pleased that she's got lines at 40 and I've got none at 43.

Well said noddy

So nice to see a model without botox ageing gracefully and normally. Good on her. She looks natural can't say the same for a lot of other celebs.

I bet their are many other celebs who'd also look shit, old & wrinkly without plastic surgery, air brushing, etc

Hang on, lets look at Nigel Planer, he's 61. In that photo he looks 70 ish. Outrageous!

AND did you know Nigel Farage is YOUNGER than Jonny Depp?

Another Kate fan here.
Think she looks beautiful and interesting in those pics.
Love her style.
And she's from Croydon

Farage looks like a tortoise, Planer looks way over 61!

Some people grow into their looks and just look better older without necessarily looking younger than they are.
It's a complex thing.
