Don’t ask me why, but I think Kate Moss has been looking like ten kinds of hell lately. Every time I breeze through photos of her, she looks like she’s either coked out of her mind, or coming down off of a three-day crackhead bender. It’s not about aging either – she could totally be an attractive, even beautiful woman as she gets closer to 40 years old. Her f-cked up appearance is, I believe, because she’s still doing loads of really hard drugs. Anyway, Kate is in the news today because she just gave herself some bangs, or “fringe”. I barely noticed the difference on my first glance, because… this isn’t the first time she’s had bangs, right? It’s just the first time in several years. Even though the bangs look flat-ironed (are they?!?), I think they look okay. That’s saying a lot for me – I have bangs trauma. I hate bangs on most adult women. But Kate has the rare face for some fringe.
In other Kate news, remember last week’s news that she and her fiancé Jamie Hince had secretly wed in a cracked-out private ceremony? That news was later denied by Kate’s publicist or something. But look! Kate is wearing something that looks like a wedding band:
So is she really married and she doesn’t want anyone to know? What’s the point?

wow did she hit the wall
the bangs make her look like Mischa Barton
see last picture
She looks messy.
How in the hell did this woman ever get a modeling contract? There’s nothing attractive about her-not now, not way back when.
The bangs look fine. Either you can wear them or you can’t, and she can.
Frankly, we know nothing about her current drug use so I won’t even bother to speculate. My guess is that Lila’s dad would’ve taken her away if Kate was still abusing drugs like she was in the Pete Doherty years. I think there was some family-court fall-out at that time.
I attribute her appearance to booze and SMOKING. And sun. Those three things together – but especially smoking – can age you like nothing else. It’s totally disgusting. Also, look at her filthy nails on the hand that’s clutching that cigarette, and look at her teeth in the last picture – they look grey and stained! C’mon, Kate – you used to be so beautiful.
For comparison, look at the models from her era who don’t live as hard. Helena Christensen (who’s 42), Milla Jovovich (a year younger than Kate), Eva Herzigova…
She looks like hell, with or without bangs.
@Kelly I agree with you, I think Kate Moss is the just one of those people that can wear bangs and still look good. I think one of the reasons Kate was successful is that she was out of the ordinary, you can look out and think she is nothing special but there was always something about her that was unique
@Bailey – I thought the same thing!
The bangs don’t really do it for me.
Everything about her has always been tragic.
At first glance she looked like Kirsten Dunst to me, and not in a good way…
faces of meth… i’m not saying that to be mean, her face looks it. she looks like a different person.
@ Bailey
Completely agree. Actually thought it was a miss labeled heading
wow – what happened?
@Bailey – Me too. Totally looks like a cracked out Misha Barton. Kate could wear bangs if she didn’t look like hell in the face and her clothes.
Omg yes! Definitely smoking and booze. In one photo she looks like Goldie Hawn. Honestly, I don’t see any huge difference. It’s not like there was anything amazing about her hair before, and now there still isn’t.
I am generally opposed to bangs on women over the age of 5, but I actually think they look good on Kate. Her face, however, is another matter entirely. She looks like 6 degrees of hell. WTF has she been doing?
I thought she was Goldie Hawn at first glance, then I looked at the rest of the pictures… Goldie Hawn looks way better
@ bailey, that was my exact first imprerssion too
I love her no matter what. She has great style and I would kill for all of the purses in her closet.
a frizzy version of a once was trendy cut
She should let those bangs grow down to her chin.
@lynnie: GMTA. The first time I saw her modeling in Vogue (or maybe it was Bazaar) I thought it had to be some kind of joke. She was fugly then and she’s fugly now.
Oh my. She looks like she could be Goldie Hawn’s older sister. That is the look of a high milage roller.
nasty, chewed up fingernails
Nah, they just emphasize her wonk-eye.
Kate hasn’t looked healthy for years … well, ever! “Heroin chic” in the 90s, yes, but never healthy or wholesome.
everything about this hag is tragic. ugh.
