Kate Moss, 51, puffs on a vape and sips a beer as she enjoys a day out at BST Hyde Park where Neil Young was headlining
Kate Moss was spotted puffing on a vape and sipping a beer as she enjoyed a day out at BST Hyde Park on Friday where Neil Young was headlining. The supermodel, 51, looked typically stylish in a plunging leopard print maxi dress and sandals. She hid her eyes behind dark sunglasses and wrapped a thick scarf around her, despite the UK heatwave. Kate toted her belongings in a large shoulder bag and accessorised with a quirky gold eye ring. She was spotted enjoying a few beers with pals and puffing on a red vape while watching Neil headline the event from the VIP area. The image of Kate with a beer and vape in hand is in stark contrast to the clean-living persona she's had in recent years following her heyday in which she was nicknamed 'The Tank' by friends for her love of substances. She recently sparked concern among her fanbase after being filmed looking 'fraught' and 'on edge' as she sat front row at Paris Fashion Week. Kate was thought to have given up alcohol back in 2017 in favour of juice fasts and reformer Pilates, even selling her own range of teas and skincare products through her beauty and wellness brand, Cosmoss. And while she has long struggled to give up her nicotine habit, just two years ago Kate - once hailed the 'greatest smoker of all time' - was seen puffing away on a vape in an attempt to give up the cigarettes. Back in January, Kate was reportedly planning a huge boozy birthday bash to celebrate her 51st birthday following her split from boyfriend of nine years, Nikolai von Bismarck , 38. Kate, who lived in the Cotswolds with teetotal photographer Nikolai, apperently decided at the time that she 'wants to let her hair down' to mark her birthday with her famous pals. A source told The Sun: 'Last year, she celebrated her 50th at an intimate soiree in Paris, which was fairly pared down. 'But a lot has changed since then and Kate has said she wants this party to be like turning over a new leaf. 'Now that her daughter Lila is all grown up and she is single again, Kate feels like she wants to let her hair down and be carefree — which is not something she's been able to do for a long time. She hid her eyes behind dark sunglasses and wrapped a thick scarf around her, despite the UK heatwave She was spotted enjoying a few beers with pals and puffing on a red vape while watching Neil headline the event 'She is looking on the bright side of life. Although it's sad her relationship is over, she is throwing herself back into her social life and embracing the new year.' She went on to start her new chapter celebrating her 51st birthday at A-list restaurant China Tang at The Dorchester before continuing her night until the early hours at The Globe in London's Notting Hill. Kate's outing at BST Hyde Park comes after she returned from a mother daughter Ibiza trip. The Croydon-born beauty sported a tiny black bikini paired with denim hot pants as she dropped her trademark pout to laugh uproriously with her only child. In an uncharacteristically animated moment, the stunner, who has appeared on a whopping 78 Vogue covers, looked radiant on her holiday where her glowing skin showcased the results of her clean lifestyle, having turned her back on partying. Lila, who is now a model in her own right, was also clad in a black bikini but she layered a Jim Beam whiskey T-shirt on her top half. Lila's father is Dazed Media chief executive Jefferson Hack, with whom Kate was in a relationship in the early Noughties. Kate and Lila have spoken candidly in the past about their unconventional relationship, with Kate telling Vogue in 2023: 'There were still rules in our house – always say please and thank you; never go out with wet hair or you'll catch a cold – even if I wasn't that strict. Now that she's 21, Lila's the one setting rules for me. 'Wear SPF50; quit smoking… Although she did give me this cigarette case as a gift recently that I just love... She's flown the nest now, and got her own place in downtown New York, but she's still so young in my mind... 'I feel like I'd already lived quite a few lives by Lila's age. I'd gone abroad. I'd had one serious boyfriend – and moved on to the next. In a lot of ways, though, Lila is so much more grown-up than I was in my 20s... 'Watching her establishing her career as a model takes me right back to the '90s when I was just starting out, but I know that things will be different for her.

John McEnroe threatened to quit BBC's Wimbledon coverage alongside Tim Henman
John McEnroe threatened to quit BBC's Wimbledon coverage alongside Tim Henman Wimbledon favourite John McEnroe threatened to leave the tournament's coverage for good - and take Tim Henman with him - after one seismic change to tradition at SW19 John McEnroe jokingly threatened to quit Wimbledon coverage in solidarity with Sue Barker (Image:) Sue Barker's Wimbledon departure in 2022 took a toll on many fans and players alike. But few were as sad to see her leave the BBC as former colleague John McEnroe, who joked he and British tennis icon Tim Henman would leave with her in solidarity. Barker, 69, stepped down from her BBC duties three years ago after presenting with the broadcaster for almost 30 years. And tennis figures from across the world paid tribute to the face of Wimbledon's coverage, who had become all but synonymous with the tournament during that time. It was during Barker's final tournament that three-time Wimbledon champion McEnroe described his shock at her departure. And the American went so far as to suggest he and fellow pundit Henman would leave with her in protest. "We all agreed we would only go as long as you can," he said on Centre Court as players and fans alike bade farewell to the SW19 legend. "Now you have put the pressure on us! What is going to happen next? Henman are we going to have a tournament next year?" But among the jokes concerning his own future, McEnroe also shared some pensive moments of real emotion with his long-time work partner. And he paid a fitting tribute to Barker as she departed Centre Court for the last time. "Sue, one final word. On behalf of all the players, I just want to say that we're going to be lost without you," he continued. "After 30 years of covering this tournament magnificently, please give it up for Sue Barker." Article continues below Henman duly replied with a cheeky joke at the expensive of McEnroe, saying: "I am not sure, I think Sue said 30 years working with you [McEnroe] she's not sure she could carry on. We need to debate it." McEnroe gave an emotional tribute to Barker in her farewell outing at SW19 (Image: Getty ) Fast-forward three years, and both McEnroe and Henman are still hard at work presenting the annual coverage from the Grand Slam. The former juggles his work at SW19 alongside other broadcasting commitments with American channels, as well as other major tournaments. Devon-born Barker became an institution in her own right, where being interviewed by the former French Open winner was seen as a rite of passage. Classy until the end, she made sure to thank her fans and colleagues alike upon leaving the BBC but got one last barb in at her old friend. "Thank you so much, but this is about the tournament," said the former BBC veteran. "All I can say is from now on John McEnroe is going to be commentating on Court 17 after that, going off script. But thank you, that really does mean the world to me." For almost three decades, Barker fronted and became an essential cog in the BBC's Wimbledon presentation every year. These days, Clare Balding and Isa Guha are the main hosts of the coverage, while McEnroe and Henman still play prominent roles as pundits. Barker stepped down from her hosting duties in 2022, leaving McEnroe and Tim Henman to tend shop for the BBC (Image:) Some fans were in uproar at this year's Wimbledon Championships after Barker was spotted in the members' enclosure of the stands. However, many argued that if anyone deserved a spot in the Royal Box, it was her. It wasn't the first major BBC role Barker has left after she was also let go from her role as Question of Sport host after 24 years. However, that exit was less harmonious considering the exit was forced upon her. Article continues below "It's their show, it's their right. They wanted to make changes and do everything and that's absolutely fine," she said on This Morning in October 2024. "We totally accepted that, it's just the way it was handled. But, it's all gone now and we're back together."
