She’s one of those women who have been blessed with youthful good looks and an amazing figure even as the clock ticks by.

But has Elle Macpherson been taking advice from her fellow Aussie Kylie and succumbed to cosmetic help?

Because the model looked suspiciously smooth-faced as she arrived for a party to mark 10 years of her lingerie line Elle Macpherson Intimates and its partnership with Selfridges department store.

Had some help, Elle? Model Macpherson looked remarkably smooth-faced as she arrived for the 10th anniversary party of her lingerie line

The 47-year-old showed signs of her age around the eyes, which wrinkled into laughter lines as she smiled for the cameras at the bash which was held in Selfridges in London.

But her forehead was unnaturally smooth and didn’t move once as she chatted away to guests and posed for pictures with Australian comedian Tim Minchin.

Willowy: She might need help with her lines, but a super-slender Elle can carry her ‘The Body’ tag with her for many more years to come

Party time! Elle couldn’t stop smiling as she celebrated her lingerie line being on sale at Selfridges for the past 10 years

However, there was some sign of life in her forehead when she found herself reduced to tears during a speech she gave later on in the night.

Elle launched her lingerie collection in 1990 but it wasn’t until 2001 that Selfridges began stocking it.

Isn’t he supposed to be a comedian? While Elle beamed, Aussie funny man Tim Minchin remained somewhat serious

And when she launched the collection in
the department store ten years ago when she was 37, her face showed a
lot more lines than were on display today.

Elle came under scrutiny regarding cosmetic surgery earlier this month when she sparked rumours she had undergone a breast enhancement.

It moves! Elle’s forehead managed a wrinkle as she was moved to tears during a speech at the party

And her fellow Aussie Kylie Minogue, 43, was also put under the spotlight recently when she stepped out with a very smooth face, her eyebrows barely moving as she smiled for the cameras.

Aussie girls: Kylie also came under scrutiny last week when she arrived at a recording studio with a very smooth face

Star-crossed love story

The 10 minutes following storyteller Jay O’Callahan’s
performance of Forged in the Stars told far more about
its success last night than the length or intensity of the
applause it garnered, and there was no lack of applause.

One of the opening speakers of the University of Otago’s
inaugural Scienceteller Festival, Mr O’Callahan had to wait a
good 10 minutes before answering media questions, as a stream
of people shook his hand, hugged him, and used expressions
like “an unforgettable experience”.

One man, a graphic designer, stopped to discuss aspects of
communicating science, which might also suggest the story hit
the nail right on the head.

The convention this week, held to celebrate the 10th
anniversary of the university’s Centre for Science
Communication, is attracting film-makers, writers,
playwrights and scientists for a five-day gathering. It
features writing workshops, documentary and film-making,
exhibitions and lectures from several guest speakers, all to
celebrate storytelling and science.

Mr O’Callahan is a prominent United States storyteller who
last night at the university stood with only a red table, a
white stool, and a glass and jug of water to deliver Forged
in the Stars, a story he said the National Aeronautics and
Space Administration (Nasa) had commissioned him to create
about three years ago.

That story, which he said was “a love story to Nasa”, was
also a love story in itself; a number of stories within a
story, told with humour and a quiet passion.

It involved the romance of Kate and Jack, the story of the
moon landing, the stories of those who made it happen, the
tragedy of the Challenger space shuttle explosion, and the
ongoing journey of the Voyager space probes. And Kate and
Jack lived happily ever after.

Mr O’Callahan, who has performed Forged in the Stars
everywhere from Nasa’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory to the the
Johnson Space Centre, said he would be working in Dunedin for
the next few days, before travelling up the West Coast.

He said last night’s audience showed a warmth that impressed
him, and which he had seen throughout the city, from the
university to bus drivers he had met.

“It’s wonderful,” he said.
