CROW’S FEET & WRINKLES

AS A model who has always known how to party, it’s maybe no surprise that Kate’s most pronounced signs of age are her laughter lines.

Dr Maria Gonzalez, of the Cardiff ’s Specialist Skin Clinic, says Kate’s crow’s feet are due to ‘a combination of the thinning of the skin and shrinking of the cartilage and bones around the eyes’.

However, Knightsbridge dermatologist Dr Sarah Tonkin believes Kate has wisely avoided trying to obliterate them completely with Botox, and resorted to fillers instead, to avoid a fake, frozen look.

‘You can see she also has some horizontal forehead lines, which are in keeping with her age. But I can’t see any signs of Botox, except perhaps on her vertical frown lines.

‘But she has wisely left the rest alone, which is a more chic and sensible way to do it. These days it’s all about looking good for your age, not trying to look half your age.’

However, Kate has certainly put her body through its paces during the past 20 years.

Famed for attending boozefuelled parties that last several days, her notorious lifestyle will no doubt have played its part.

A fixture of the louche Primrose Hill set, she was also pictured snorting what appeared to be cocaine during a relationship with rocker and high-profile drug addict Pete Doherty.

On top of that, she’s suffered the stress of a split from the father of her daughter Lila Grace, and is now r i ding t he storm of a rocky patch in her marriage to musician Jamie Hince — which all take their toll. drop, you may not see any of the teeth at all, making someone like Kate appear older.’
