Ageless? Not really. She looks like a woman in her 40s who's taken exceptional care of herself. She looks as if she has to move very carefully. It's Eminem who hasn't aged. He's 41 and still looks 19!

you can certainly tell she's aged... but she keeps out of the sun and that makes a big difference... everyone ages differently... good skin care and genes also help... I won't speculate about procedures but I do know women in their fifties who look 20 years younger because they looked after their skin

She will have hairdresser, beautician, dietician, cook, maid, chauffeur, personnel trainer......basically a stress-free indulgent life unlike us mere mortals who have to deal with the stresses and strains of ever day life and work 8 to 5 for a living.
