From model to mogul: Kate Moss turns 40

Kate Moss may be moseying into middle age but the British bombshell is still as in demand as ever.
Kate Moss playboy cover

It’s been almost three decades since a scrawny British teenager was plucked out of obscurity at JFK airport and propelled into the stratosphere as one of fashion’s most influential icons.

Kate Moss celebrates 40th birthday this week and in typical Mossy style, the model is keeping her lips sealed about her milestone celebrations.

Despite her age, the supermodel has no intention of slowing down. She is still signed on as the face of beauty brand Rimmel London, has hotly anticipated collaborations with Topshop due out soon and has just inked a deal to become a contributing fashion editor of British Vogue.

Not letting age get in her way, Kate last year posed nude for Playboy’s 60th Anniversary edition and the pictures would make models half her age green with envy.

While the the inner circle of ‘Moss’s Posse’ might not be letting us in on what the plans are in terms of a party, there has been wide speculation that the location of the bash will be Virgin tycoon, Richard Branson’s Necker Island.

Until the party pictures emerge we in the public are likely to remain in the dark, but until then let’s take the time to look back at 40 of Ms Moss’s biggest thrills and spills, because goodness knows there have been a few!

Supermodel Kate Moss gets set to celebrate the big 4-0!

Kate debuted on the March 1993 cover of British Vogue photographed by Corinne Day. She has since starred on 33 Vouge UK covers and is set to become the magazine’s contributing fashion editor.

Last year’s June Vogue UK featured Kate on the cover wearing Christopher Kane, photographed by Patrick Demarchelier.

Vouge UK’s September 2012 Olympic issue featured Kate Moss in Alexander McQueen photographed by Nick Knight and styled by Vogue fashion director Lucinda Chambers.

Kate credits ex-boyfriend Johnny Depp with encouraging her to keep her private life private once she hit superstar status: “He told me ‘never complain, never explain’,” she wrote in her 2012 book, ‘Kate: The Kate Moss Book’.

Kate stumbles out of her 30th birthday wearing a midnight blue sequinned dress.

A fresh-faced Kate began her career after being scouted at an airport and her career took off from there.

Known for the ‘Heroin Chic’ movement in the 90’s Kate was often criticised for her thin frame.

Having known each other since their teens, Kate and fellow super model, Naomi Campbell remain firm friends.

Almost angelic, Kate models a design by Isaac Mizrahi.

In the early days Kate’s wild child behaviour was well documented. The Rolling Stone’s Keith Richards reportedly once described her as “a beautiful nutcase”.

Kate, along with Georgia May Jagger, is the face of Rimmel London.

A lot of Kate’s close friends and former lovers have been musicians. The model is a constant fixture at Glastonbury and her chic festival style always makes fashion headlines.

Kate’s hot pants/gumboots combo are now considered festival uniform for all female festival attendees.

Many were worried when Kate dated off-the-rails rock star Pete Doherty.

One of Kate’s most lucrative deals is her hot collaboration with retail giant Topshop.

It’s not common to see Ms Moss in colour but she does look lovely in this lemon number.

Kate welcomed daughter Lila Grace in 2002 with Dazed and Confused editor Jefferson Hack.

Kate’s enviable street style seems to only gets better with age.

39-year-old Kate posed nude in Playboy’s 60th Anniversary addition. The supermodel, photographed by Mert and Marcus, helped create one of the magazines most iconic covers ever.

On the eve of her 40th birthday, the supermodel’s career seems stronger than ever and Ms Moss shows no signs of retirement, but then again, the woman is famous for keeping her mouth shut and her cards close to her chest.

It’s been 30 years since Christy Turlington started modelling but she’s still ready for her close-up.

The supermodel was unveiled as the face of Imedeen beauty supplements at a launch party yesterday and looked as fresh-faced and fabulous as she did at the start of her career.

Christy isn’t the only veteran supermodel still snapping up lucrative endorsement deals. Check out what some of the other familiar faces of the 1980s and 1990s are up to nowadays.

Naomi Campbell has finished filming The Face Australia at Sydney’s Carriageworks, although it will be a few months before we get to see the show.

Since stepping off the catwalk Elle Macpherson has spent her time growing her empire. ‘The Body’, who was a Sports Illustrated favourite, splits her time between TV hosting, running her lingerie line, representing several beauty brands and being a mum to her two boys, Cy and Flynn.

Canadian Linda Evangelista has been featured on more than 600 magazine covers.

Cindy Crawford is the all-American girl who turned a pretty face and a Pepsi commercial into big business. The mother-of-two is a model mogul with several entrepreneurial interests, including her own antioxidant-based skin care line, Meaningful Beauty.

Blonde bombshell Claudia Schiffer is still in high demand by luxe brands the world over. Just last week Rodenstock, Germany’s leading manufacturer of lenses and optical frames, officially launched the ‘Claudia Schiffer by Rodenstock’ collection.

Helena Christensen was the green-eyed beauty that captured the hearts of many, including Aussie rocker Michael Hutchence. While the Danish supermodel hasn’t officially retired from modelling, she has taken to stepping behind the camera in pursuit of a photography career.

In the 1990s Eva Herzigova was a Victoria’s Secret favourite and model for Wonderbra but the 40-year-old Czech model shows no signs of slowing down. She signed on as the face of Dior in 2012 and still regularly features in campaigns for luxe clothing brands.

Kate Moss signed on as the face of Rimmel London in 2001. This week, the model who turns 40 tomorrow, released the British beauty brands latest ad campaign where Kate holds her own alongside other models half her age. Kate also recently posed nude for Playboy in the magazine’s 60th Anniversary issue.

Linda Evangelista, Naomi Cambell and Christy Turlington had a lot of fun together in the 1980s.

During the peak of her career Christy was adored for her enviable figure and down-to-earth attitude.

Busy Christy says it can be tough to keep in touch with her supermodel counterparts. “I don’t see everyone very often, but we do exchange Christmas cards. I’ve had lunch with Cindy. And Naomi I see periodically. She’s really good — she’ll remember a birthday. I’m horrible.”

Plastic surgery app aimed at pre-teens pulled from iTunes

A new app that taught girls as young as nine to perform plastic surgery on an overweight blonde woman has been pulled from sale.
Plastic Surgery for Barbie app.

A new app that taught girls as young as nine to perform plastic surgery on an overweight blonde woman has been pulled from sale.

The free app, called “Plastic Surgery for Barbie”, invited players to use liposuction to “suck the fat” out of the woman to “make her beautiful”.

“This unfortunate girl has so much extra weight that no diet can help her,” the game’s description read. “In our clinic she can go through a surgery called liposuction that will make her slim and beautiful.

“We’ll need to make small cuts on problem areas and suck out the extra fat. Will you operate on her, doctor?”

The game – which was aimed at players aged nine and older – appeared on the Apple and Google stores last week and caused outrage almost immediately.

“Not only is this app teaching girls incredibly narrow standards of beauty to which they will certainly compare themselves, it’s also equipping them with the tools to ‘take care’ of this imaginary problem of ‘extra weight’. Exactly what nine-year-old girls need,” Isha Aran wrote on feminist blog Jezebel.

A Twitter protest led by EverydaySexism resulted in iTunes quietly removing the app from its stores overnight.

Bec Hewitt’s ‘tandoori tan’ sparks Twitter storm

Bec Hewitt tan

Bec Hewitt’s deep orange tan has caused a social media storm, with hundreds of tennis fans tweeting about her “tandoori” skin tone.

Bec turned out to watch her husband Lleyton’s first round Australian Open match in Melbourne yesterday.

But while tennis fans tuned in to watch the action on court, they were soon distracted by Bec’s apparent “spray tan fail” and took to social media to comment.

“Wow, Bec Hewitt looks like she stuck her head in a bag of Twisties,” one particularly unkind viewer wrote, while another added: “She looks like an Oompa Loompa with that orange tan!”

“Bec Hewitt still looks like a babe,” a more supportive fan added. “That tan though!”

In Bec’s defence, she has been naturally bronzed since she was a teenager, and her tan has only deepened since she moved to The Bahamas in 2009.

Bec’s tan looked even more orange next to her white-blonde hair.
