Leggy Elle Macpherson branded too old for mini dresses by UK press

July 23rd, 2009

The acerbic Daily Mail says Elle Macpherson, 46, made a stunning entrance at the recent party for all the wrong reasons.
“Unfortunately for her, the focus of attention was not her impossibly long legs or enviably trim bottom but the fact that her knees looked as though she’d spent the morning cleaning doorsteps and used a Brillo pad as an exfoliator,” writes the Daily Mail’s Claudia Connell gleefully.

“At the age of 46, Elle has fallen victim to saggy knee syndrome, a cruel and distressing affliction that can randomly strike any woman over 40.”
Connell, who admits she’s a curvy woman in her 40s, says skinny woman are struck down by the affliction earlier than larger girls, and that Macpherson has speeded up the ageing process through years of sun exposure.
“That’s why there comes a time when every woman in her 40s must accept that her days of wearing miniskirts and hotpants are over, and she must embrace a wardrobe that consists of below-the-knee hemlines.”
