Nothing to shout about: Lulu's wrinkly knees reveal her real age

From the top of her beehive to the hem of her black studded minidress, she could pass for a woman half her age - and a pretty cool one at that.

But the knees never lie. The outfit that Lulu wore to a music festival in London revealed a pair of distinctly wrinkly joints.

Though the singer, 59, has an enviable figure and a peachy complexion, she obviously can't hold back every sign of ageing.

She is in good company, however, as Kate Moss's wrinkled kneecaps, displayed at last year's Glastonbury festival, rather jarred with the rest of her youthful image.

And Demi Moore is rumoured to have undergone £5,000 of surgery to fix hers.

But Lulu is unlikely to take such drastic action, particularly as she has decided to stop having Botox injections on her face.

The Scottish singer announced in an interview earlier this year that she wanted to age more naturally.

'I stopped having Botox because too much doesn't look good. It didn't make me look any younger and I have to move my face - I'm a singer.'

She keeps herself in shape by visiting the gym as her 'legs, thighs, belly and bum all need toning up'.

But she added in the interview that she had to give up jogging in the park because her knees gave out.

Lulu was pictured as she took a break from filming a presenting slot at the iTunes festival at Camden Palace.

Lulu knees prompt hosiery warning

Women of a certain age should not bare their knees a la Lulu, it is suggested.

Fashion reporter Liz Jones makes her comments in the Daily Mail, admitting Lulu looks lovely for her age but warning she has outgrown the ability to jaunt about in a mini-skirt without hosiery.

She urges women to wear everyday tights such as opaque hosiery to conceal any particularly aged knees and retain their glamour.

Furthermore, women over the age of 60 should avoid stilettos as a kitten heel is both more attractive and less likely to cause injury, the style guru adds.

Women who decide their days of bare legs are over should not despair as fashion favours hosiery.

Recently, the Style Guru online fashion resource argued patterned tights are a must-have for desirable dames this year.

Oh, golly, another body part to obsess over.

It's so stupid that people have to obsess over things like this. Any woman should be able to dress however she wants without worrying about what's acceptable and isn't. Do we really need to know this? Is it really news? I think it's just cheap gossip and will only lead to feelings of insecurity and loss of self worth. Really...LuLu looks fine for her age.

So will they be doing a report on aging male singers who's elbows have gone all flimsy now?

Lulu still rocks!
She looks great and she still sings well.
The world is way to critical when it comes to women.

Yes, you're right. I agree totally, Retro.

that picture made me want to SHOUT WOOO

Who cares about her knees, Lulu still rocks!

Knees schmees. I'd still get naked with Lulu.

Older woman should also avoid flip-flops while out and about. They have to be the #1 reason for falls. You could break your hip.

People can be very shallow.

I can't believe Lulu's 59. I'm catching up with her.

She'd be 60 or 61 by now.

Those schoolgirl days, of smooth young knees and climbing trees are gone...
But in my mind,
I know they will still live on and on,
But how do you thank someone, who has taken you from crayons to perfume?
It isn't easy, but I'll try,

She'll be 62 next Wednesday.

Happy Birthday Lulu

I'd like to invite Lulu to bring her wrinkly knees to the United States, where she can display them anywhere and anytime she likes.

Sheeeesh.

Lulu is running into my open arms! Happy Bee Day, Lulu...
