Kate Moss really is all fur coat and literally no knickers... and why does she need a young body double?

She is one of the world’s most well-known models who is still in constant demand at the age of 39.

But it seems Kate Moss isn’t quite as willing to prance about in just her pants as she once was as she was spotted with a body double while filming an advert in London on Monday. 

The young woman employed who quite frankly looked like a spring chicken next to the veteran model, didn’t seem at all concerned about strutting around in next to nothing and risked upstaging Kate, who displayed a little paunch.

As Kate, who rose to fame in the Nineties, stepped out by the restaurant Launceston Place to start filming she kept her body underwraps beneath a large white fur coat.

Apart from her thigh-high boots and a little bit of vest peeking out, Kate didn’t appear to be wearing much else.

In fact she was wearing so little that she seemed to have forgotten her underwear as when she stepped out of the car she gave a little too much away beneath her flesh coloured tights, which she wore to create the illusion of flawless skin.

But unusually the star, who is married to Jamie Hince, came over all shy and left the majority of flashing to her body double.

Rising to the challenge of being Kate’s counterpart the fresh-faced model confidently strutted around with the fur coat wide open.

When Kate did accidently reveal her body as she emerged from her car she displayed a slight bit of bulge, making it obvious why she had picked someone else to be her body.

The younger model had clearly been picked as she showed off a very slim physique, with much flatter stomach, and perhaps unintentionally her nipples.

An onlooker who saw the filming taking place near Gloucester Road said: ‘It’s no surprise Kate had a body double on set as her skin appeared a little ropey.

‘Much to everyone’s surprise the usually confident Kate looked a little on the shy side.’

The appearance of a body double has raised questions about just how often Kate’s body has been replaced in recent campaigns.

Just this year already she has appeared ‘naked’ in an advert for jewellery designer David Yurman and suntan lotion St Tropez.

And the model is set to bare all once again in nude shoot for Playboy to celebrate turning 40. 

However after finding a model with a picture perfect body for the shoot on Monday, Kate may decide to enlist her younger counterpart once again.
