Kate Moss celebrated her 50th birthday at the Ritz in Paris. Known for her unique style, Moss's birthday attire became the talk of the town, sparking a mix of admiration and critique.
Adorned in a chic black lace dress paired with a leotard, Moss exuded elegance and edge. She draped a long leather jacket over her shoulders, a nod to her signature fashion-forward sensibility. The ensemble was completed with embellished black heels, adding a touch of sophistication to her look.
Fans of Moss were quick to express their admiration. Comments ranged from praises for her timeless beauty – "Bone structure on point, always" – to adoration of her style – "I could not tire of looking at Miss Moss." One enthusiastic fan went as far as to liken her to fine wine, a testament to her lasting appeal in the fashion industry.

However, not all reactions favored Moss's bold fashion choice. Some critics expressed surprise and confusion, with one noting, "I wouldn't have recognized her without really focusing." Others questioned the practicality of her outfit amidst the Parisian cold, playfully suggesting that the occasion could have been perfect for one of her beloved coats.
The conversation surrounding Moss's birthday attire wasn't limited to fashion alone. Some remarks veered towards her age, with varying opinions on how a 50-year-old should dress. While one commenter criticized her choice as reminiscent of a "cheap prom," another unfairly exaggerated her age, saying she looked closer to 65. Although Moss celebrated her 50th birthday in style, she was previously in denial about her age. Last year, she joked: "I'm not turning 50. No, I'm not thinking about it. I do not feel 50."
Despite the mixed reactions, Moss's style has always been an extension of her personality. In a reflective mood, Moss, who previously joked about not feeling her age, stated her fondness for jackets and her inspiration from the 70s fashion scene. She also named her daughter, Lila, as her biggest fashion critic.
