Kate Moss, the supermodel who defined 1990s fashion and culture, turned 50 years old this week. She celebrated her milestone birthday in her signature bold and glamorous style, with a star-studded party in Paris attended by famous friends and her model daughter Lila Grace.
A See-Through Lace Dress Makes a Statement
Never one to shy away from making a splash, Moss stepped out for her birthday dinner at the ritzy Hotel Ritz wearing a custom see-through lace dress from Kim Kardashian’s Skims brand that left little to the imagination [1]. The dress featured a high neck, long sleeves, and a floor-length skirt. Moss completed the daring look with her go-to messy updo hairstyle, a smoky eye, and nude pointy-toed heels.
The dress made headlines and sparked debate about women embracing their sexuality at any age. While some criticized Moss for the overtly sexy look, many fans and fashion insiders praised the model for continuing to take bold risks and flout expectations even as she enters her sixth decade.
“She looks incredible and as iconic as ever,” raved designer Marc Jacobs on Instagram. “HAPPY BIRTHDAY is an understatement!” [2]
A Wild Late-Night Party Fitting for a Fashion Queen
After the intimate dinner with friends and family including her boyfriend Count Nikolai von Bismarck, 37, Moss kept the celebrations going at Loulou nightclub. There, around 30 of her celebrity pals gathered for a decadent party that rocked on past 2 AM.
Loulou was transformed into “Club Kate” for the night, with a catwalk set up in the middle of the dancefloor so Moss and her model guests could strut their stuff. The supermodel changed into a custom sheer lace jumpsuit to party the night away, dancing on tables and couches alongside the likes of Naomi Campbell, Marc Jacobs, Stella McCartney and her half-sister Lottie Moss. DJ Fat Tony kept energy levels high by spinning Kate’s favourite ’90s dance hits.
“Kate was chain-smoking cigarettes and dancing wild until the early hours with Nikolai glued to her side,” said an insider. “She was clearly having an amazing time.” [3]
| Celebrity Guest | Relationship to Kate |
|---|---|
| Naomi Campbell | Fellow 90s supermodel and close friend |
| Marc Jacobs | Fashion designer and collaborator |
| Stella McCartney | Fashion designer and collaborator |
| Lottie Moss | Half-sister and fellow model |
| Nikolai von Bismarck | Longtime boyfriend |
The wild night ended with Kate leaving her passport behind at the club, later retrieved by her embarrassed assistant. Never a dull moment indeed!
Staying Sober and Spiritual
In contrast to her party girl image from her youth, Moss reportedly opted to stay completely sober throughout her milestone birthday celebrations. This marks a shift for the model who has spoken openly in recent years about experiencing “years and years of crying” due to her past issues with alcohol and drug addiction.
Close friend DJ Fat Tony praised Kate’s newfound commitment to healthy living in an Instagram tribute, writing “What a ride for life we have had dear friend…. clean living suits you” [4].
The supermodel has apparently embraced spirituality and an alcohol-free lifestyle since getting treatment at a luxury rehab facility in 2018. Sources say Moss brought along her sobriety coach to keep her on track during the glitzy Parisian festivities.
“Rather than champagne, Kate has treated herself to some beautiful Clay pottery from Portugal to commemorate turning 50,” revealed an insider. “She is in a very happy place living the sweet life.” [5]
Daughter Lila Grace Follows in Her Footsteps
Moss shared the spotlight at her birthday bash with her 18-year-old daughter Lila Grace, who is now a successful model in her own right. Lila turned heads by showing up to her mum’s dinner in a vintage plunging velvet gown that paid tribute to Kate’s iconic ‘90s style.
The rising model also took to the catwalk at Club Kate to display her impressive strut alongside her legendary mother. Lila Grace recently made her runway debut walking for designer Richard Quinn and just landed a major beauty campaign as the new face of Marc Jacobs perfume.
It’s clear from their effortless fashion sense to their striking good looks that Lila has inherited her mother’s special star quality. Industry insiders have predicted big things for Kate’s mini-me daughter, believing she has what it takes to potentially surpass her mother’s success one day. [6]
“Happy birthday mama, I love you so much,” wrote Lila on Instagram, sharing a sweet photo of her mother kissing her on the cheek as a young girl. It looks like the legacy of iconic supermodel Kate Moss may continue for years to come.
What Does 50 Look Like? As Fab as Ever
Moss has barely aged a day since she first broke out as a teenage model, with her trademark rock ‘n roll style still dazzling all these years later. So what’s her secret to looking so fab at 50?
The supermodel credits her natural beauty to an ultra-healthy lifestyle regimen. “I go to bed, I drink lots of water, not too much coffee, and I’m trying to cut down on cigarettes,” she has revealed of her beauty routine. [7]
Of course, blessed genetics don’t hurt either for the eternally cool fashion icon. Moss has also spoken about having no plans to give up modelling any time soon.
“I think it’s going to be difficult for me to stop modelling because I do still really love it,” she told Elle Magazine. [8]
Judging by her show-stopping 50th birthday looks, Kate Moss remains as relevant in the fashion world as ever before. We can’t wait to see what she wears next!
