Just that really. I know she is rich and famous but so are many others and she has just knocked them all out of the park!

Can't we go back to tabard, beige Mac, shopping bag and head scarf at 50? I feel the bar is being set too high.

^^

You forgot the purple rinse Grin

And as for JA saying in the interview that she "sees children in her future". Why oh why do celebrities have magic ovaries?

She does this is every interview. She hints at having children one day “in some way”. She says things she knows will be become headlines. It’s fine not to have children. Doesn’t have to be a big deal.

I think Winona Ryder is ageing well, she's a couple of years off 50 and looks a more realistic good for her age.

Cue everyone coming to tell me what work she's had and making me look like a. Tit😀

TheWordmeister · 15/02/2020 17:52

She looks fab but she’s had some horrible shit done to her face and it looks weird now. Not so much in photos, but in interviews it’s extremely noticeable.

I hope it’s stuff that wears off and she’s not stick with it.

Delatron · 15/02/2020 17:55

I think you’d be hard pushed to find anyone in Hollywood who hadn’t had work done. You don’t look like they do in to their 50s without help. Some just have better work or more subtle work than others.

Best I think are Michelle Pfeiffer and Julia Roberts. Very natural looking, minimal work that you can’t put your finger on.

IrmaFayLear · 15/02/2020 17:57

In some ways women have gone backwards - men too, actually - with all this focus on appearance and being judged for "letting yourself go".

I was looking at some old wedding photos in an album and the people concerned look absolutely ancient - when they were only in their 40s. (And they weren't poor, either.) But I bet they'd all donned their best gear with nary a worry as to how they should be trying to look as if they were 22 with lustrous locks and four super-toned limbs.

As I said, men are increasingly not let off the hook either, viz various weird hair formations on mature men on view at Oscars.

Flaskfan · 15/02/2020 17:57

managedmis purple rinse would have been for those trying to look glam and suggests effort. I'll stick to my gold hoop earrings that pull my earlobes into slits. Or was that just scouse grans?

UserV · 15/02/2020 17:57

@SalmonOfKnowledge

I really like her sense of style and I think she's open about her life and life's lessons but in a classy measured way. But I don't think she is exceptionally young-looking for 51! She is fairly typical of a rich attractive 51 year old who was good looking to start with.

Agree with this, and although she is attractive and looks pretty decent, she definitely does not look much younger than 51. Mid 40s I would say Then again, NO-ONE looks more than 5-8 years younger than they are. Not when you look properly.

As a few posters have said, I don't understand why there is such an obsession with wanting people to think you look younger than you are. Some women come on here bragging about how they were asked for I.D. to buy alcohol, even though they are 43.

First of all, I don't believe them, and secondly, even if it DID happen, do they think it makes them a better person/special somehow??? Because all it suggests is that the person in question is shit at guessing people ages, or has poor eyesight!

CoffeeCoinneseur · 15/02/2020 17:58

Julia Roberts is stunning.

I also think Sandra Bullock - last time I saw a pic of her - seems to be ageing fairly naturally and looks great.

ChickLitLover · 15/02/2020 17:58

The post was about a woman. Why can’t we have opinions, other than “she’s gorgeous”.

I just really don’t believe people who think she doesn’t look good. She clearly does. You don’t have to think she’s the most beautiful woman in the world, but she looks good.

Crookshanksthecat · 15/02/2020 17:59

She looks amazing I just wish she and the other actresses her age didn't feel the need to go down the botox/fillers route.
I bet she would be utterly gorgeous without it albeit with a few more laughter lines. That slightly puffy/plasticy look is just awful on Courtney Cox and I see Jen going down that route too
Just so sad.

Double3xposure · 15/02/2020 18:00

a lot of top models are very ordinary looking women too

Friends DD is a top model and she is pretty but not beautiful, slightly quirky face. You wouldn’t pick her out of a crowd of her friends as outstanding. Except that shes MUCH taller and thinner than everyone else.

When she wears clubbing type clothes she manages to look classy whereas they all look tarty ( to my middle aged eyes ).

I think you’d notice Jennifer Anniston in a crowd. I agree she looks great.

Delatron · 15/02/2020 18:04

Yes Sandra Bullock is another 50ish year old who looks natural and fab (but will have had work done).

I think it’s very hard to find the balance and stop before you go too far. I feel Jen is just on the edge of this. I think she looks great but might need to lay off the fillers now for a while. Hoping the Courtney Cox issues put her off!!

Iambloodystarving · 15/02/2020 18:10

She strikes me as very self absorbed.

UYScuti · 15/02/2020 18:11

she's kept in shape and she's had work done, even I can do that and I'm not rich or famous
I think her legs look puny she need to do more strength work

Happymum12345 · 15/02/2020 18:15

She looks amazing! I think they're quite a few jealous posters on here saying unpleasant things.

backtonormalname · 15/02/2020 18:16

this is photoshopped or whatever other software edited to the max, why do people fall for this rubbish? In a few more days a less edited pic will appear somewhere with talk of how she has "let herself go".

mencken · 15/02/2020 18:18

ah, there is a photo where you can see it is her - still in the granny knickers, evidently forgot the skirt. It is on the Sun page, where four women are doing a pisstake (I assume that's what it is!) recreation of the shoot. All look really good in normal clothes and with the crucial accessory, the smile - and look of course bloody awful in the knickers shot.

SouthWestmom · 15/02/2020 18:24

I would love to see Celeste Barber rip this off. What a daft outfit and pose

SouthWestmom · 15/02/2020 18:26

Shocker ! woman over 50 has a great figure because she has spent years working on said figure. If I had that figure I would be wearing big pants and not a lot else to the supermarket, I unfortunately don't, I look like I have eaten poor Jennifer for lunch Wink

feelingverylazytoday · 15/02/2020 18:34

Pretty standard for a celebrity nowadays, and in fact for many non celebrities also. No one needs to go round looking like Norah Batty if they're prepared to put some work in, and spend a bit of money.
Personally I don't consider her to be beautiful, I thought Courtney Cox was much better looking, but that's just personal preference I guess.

Oakmaiden · 15/02/2020 18:45

@CoffeeCoinneseur You or I would look that good too.

Well, you might. I definitely wouldn't.

frugalkitty · 15/02/2020 18:49

I think she looks fabulous and am very envious of her figure (I blame the kids for ruining mine). She's always been pretty but she's definitely done something to her face recently which I'm sure she didn't need. I'm not sure why in your fifties the idea of kids appeals if I'm honest, I'm younger than she is and beginning to look forward to the buggers moving out Grin

Oakmaiden · 15/02/2020 18:54

I’m confused- can you see her clothes or not?

Maybe it's an Emperor's New Clothes thing?
