Elle Macpherson is unrecognizable

She's beautiful.

Her hair and brows aren’t doing her any favors, but I think she looks great. What is her? 56?

She is 58.

I think she looks good. Just not like herself.

I think she could have looked great, but seems to have overdone it with the Botox and the trout-pout filler. Why the hell do people do this to themselves?

She looks fine, just looks old for her age.

The issue isn't how she looks to you but how the world looks to her. I hope she likes what she sees. At a certain point in life, your job is not to please people.

OP, the subtext in the title of your thread is often what makes women feel insecure about their appearance, which leads them to fuck with their faces in the first place. We somehow feel entitled to critique a person’s looks as if age and illness don’t come for us all.

She zero make up on and looks great.

I thought it was Goop at first.

I think her face looks fine (though she definitely isn't makeup free). But that super long hair does older women no favors. Drags everything down.

Based on OP's headline, I was expecting some horror show. She looks fine

Damn,.sheesh

She should accentuate her eyes more. She has pretty eyes. But overall, she looks fine and why are we so eager to comment on women’s looks?

Not to me- nice try.

Definitely got an eye lift. Her eyelids were more hooded, before. Obvious cheek implants or fillers, looks like Simon Cowell. Lower lip: there's an implant. Look at the natural lip line (lower lip) and there's fullness under the natural lip line. That's not natural.

She looks horrible, IMO.

Her eye lift looks uneven.

The “no-makeup “ looks doesn’t pair well with the long hair. Overall effect is witchy.

Australians do not age well

Is she in her 80s?

it seems just about every famous white skinny bitch ages into Janice

^ blonde....

Mary Hartman! Mary Hartman!

She has nothing to prove. For a while she was one of the most beautiful people going. She's accepting her ageing gracefully.

Well the eye job is a little off and that neck needs some work.

I think she looks great and compared to many of her contemporaries, she's quite natural looking.

As for the "no makeup" schtick, they all pull this. That's several coats of base with no contrasting color.

No nightmare stories, not fat and no public scandal or nasty litigation.

Well played.

She was always a bit hard and masculine looking. I know her body was supposed to be the best in the biz, but I prefer curves.

With Tim Jeffries 1994

This is what a beautiful, rich, agin woman used to look like when I was a child in the 70s. THIS. Makes sense to me.

*aging

Women with wrinkles on their face need to have their hair UP. Or cut it.

Not "unrecognizable" in the least. Looks exactly like an older version of her younger self.

And, if she were wearing makeup and trying to impress, she'd still be more beautiful than the vast majority of women half her age.

That's a rough looking 38.

A co-worker of mine looks like her.

Remember when she nearly derailed the TV show “ Friends”?

Her face looks like melting wax. "Aging gracefully?" I don't see what some of you guys are seeing.

That picture is not flattering, but she looks okay for someone in their late-50s.

Back in her modeling heyday, she was known as "The Body". Her face, while fine, was never particularly memorable or attractive like the top supermodels.

[quote]Australians do not age well

That's just not true. I have the dewy, fresh-faced complexion of an 18 year old. And I've had zero procedures or injections of anything!

r30 which means fraus are fugly frauds that require use womanface/drag to manipulate those around them

The fad for Dangling Tendrils has been a disaster for 20 years and needs to GO!

@R17. That sun is pretty harsh.

[quote] The issue isn't how she looks to you but how the world looks to her.

THEY'RE ALL WINNERS!!!

Time is a bitch

[quote] Australians do not age well

Just for reference: Sigourney weaver is 73 , Tilda Swinton and Julianne Moore both 62, Sharon Stone is 65. Oh and Vanessa Willaims : 58 , Patti Labell 78.

Just for reference:

Maggie Smith 82; Dear Vanessa; approaching the Pearly Gates.

People get old, OP. WTF is wrong with you? It can't be avoided. It SHOULDN'T be avoided. "Death is the mother of beauty." Do you know that quote? Everything we love, we love because one day it goes away. We're mortal. Get it through your queeny little head.

She look just fine and is wearing little or no makeup. You ladies are crazy.

Smith's 88 now.

She looks good, I like the natural way she's aging. (Ok she does look a few years older than 58, I'd say, but she looks lovely)

She looks like Lori Loughlin's husband, Mossimo Giannulli. They both served federal prison time for the "Varsity Blues" scam to get their daughter into USC.

She didn't Photoshop her photo at a time when a lot of celebrities do. I like her even more.

She looks like Juliette Binoche.

Serving Binoche realness

Uh, I now know why she sticks to the long blond hair.

*shudder*

She looks like Elle Macpherson to me.

I think she looks meh.

She probably got a lot of sun damage from being a swimsuit model and this is the result, despite any cosmetic procedures.

I was indifferent to her until she admitted consuming illegal powdered rhino horn as a beauty treatment. Not only is she another vain celebrity, she’s a stupid, selfish one. Bitch.

Could her odd ageing appearancr be the consequence of injecting( orally or otherwise) non authorized cosmetic procedures?

^^^I think I read somewhere that Cate Blanchette rubbed Korean baby semen/ testicle on her face amd look at her now. The poor woman looks like she is in her 80s

She's brutally disfigured.

r57 for real, though, There's an Italian folk remedy for aging skin by using a newborn's first dump/piss as a beauty treatment. Now they try to pass off the grossness of it as foresight into stem cells. The East Asians version made a tea out of dried umbilical cord - albeit, that was more of a cure-all and many kept it for their children in case they ever became seriously ill. And many cultures were obsessed with the placenta as a beauty/health remedy. . . though usually consumed and applied to the skin immediately after. And akin to Bathory, some used period blood, often more their own though.

R17:

Bullshit. I regularly get mistaken for 15-20 years younger than I am.

The Australians wbo age badly are those who did no respect the sun, which tends to be Elle's generation and older. She was a shameless sun worshipper long after it became widely known to be dangerous.

I'll never forgive her for using rhino horn. Scum behaviour.

She looks fantastic; she’s nearing 60 and looks HUMAN and pretty. Thank god she’s not got a plastic face with those hideous swollen hemmorhoid lips and (I assume not) a Kardashian style baboon ass.

Her sons are as handsome as you’d expect from a supermodel, too

Eyes Wide Shut.

That hairstyle is aging, IMO.

There’s something vaguely plasticky about her face, but I think she looks fine. She’s not all Joan Van Ark yet.

The most odd thing is her pupils. There’s a blurry kind of glaucoma thing that my grandmother had. The edges of her pupils (which were brown) had a sort of cloudy bluish haze. It’s hard to describe, but I felt a jolt of recognition when I looked at Elle’s eyes.

[quote] But that super long hair does older women no favors. Drags everything down.

If she had short hair she’d look ancient.

Huh?

She needs to put a few pounds on. She looks malnourished and gaunt.

Link backing up this claim.

Meh.

Disgusting trash behaviour.

Possibly none of you has ever seen Macpherson without eye makeup before. It makes an extreme difference, especially on blondes. She would have looked considerably worse than she did on Friends if she'd worn no eye makeup even at that age.

[quote]Her sons are as handsome as you’d expect from a supermodel, too

Fuck off.

I never got her as a model. She was no Cindy, Linda, or Helena.

She was mostly a swimsuit model who had a great body that looked stunning on the beach. She never had the face to do high fashion like Linda or Christie.

She made her money in Australia with a cheap nasty branded lingerie line. That all went sour when a schizophrenic male turned up at one of her promo events to protest the "pornography", and dramatically committed suicide by crashing through the window of the multi storey building where Elle was whoring her undies, falling to his death. That incident fucked her tiny mind into infinity.

R77, WHAT?

It happened in Adelaide, Australia in the early 90s.

Here you go.

R75: She wasn't a model-model. Straight men wanted to fuck her. She was Sports Illustrated and Playboy, not high fashion and beauty.

Too much sun.

Elle did Playboy, despite previously saying on film she'd never do that rag because it was a "pornographic magazine", because she was so horrified by the way she looked in nudie art pic Sirens. They'd asked her to put on weight to be more voluptuous.

Kate Fisher said that Elle tried to rope her into an orgy with Hugh Grant on the set of Sirens but they both fled.

Elle was dreadful in Sirens. She spent half the film sucking her fingers like a 14yo trying to be suggestive.

[quote] What is her?

This made me laugh so hard for some reason. Is Wendy Williams spending her retirement on Data Lounge?

An old buddy of mine used to have a friend with a very very pricey antique sailboat out in The Hamptons. Elle was a frequent guest on the boat and had a nose like a Hoover. I think she banged the owner for free nose candy. He also said that she’s quite masculine and gawky looking in person. “Not hot” is what he said… and he’s a straight. I know this doesn’t have to do with her plastic surgery but just a little factoid I thought I’d share.

I 100 per cent believe this story.
