Susannah Constantine, 63, unveils her incredible skin transformation as she undergoes her first 'tweakment' in 17 years - a decade after going sober
Susannah Constantine has unveiled her incredible skin transformation after undergoing her first 'tweakment' in 17 years. The TV personality, 63, showcased the results of a bio-stimulating laser treatment after having the 'realisation' that looking after her skin wasn't just about her vanity now she is reaching 'midlife'. The What Not To Wear star's fresh new look comes a decade after she went sober following a long battle with alcoholism. Susannah claimed her friends have noticed the difference in her quality of skin after trying Alma's £350 Harmony Bio-Boost. She said: 'Reaching mid-life, I realised that looking after your skin isn't just about vanity, it's about vitality. I want my skin to reflect how I feel inside: strong, bright and healthy. 'Even my friends started noticing the difference - not asking if I'd had anything done, just saying how fresh and well I looked. 'That's when I knew this was something special. I also noticed that I didn't need to wear much makeup in my day-to-day life.' The Harmony Bio-Boost treatment is believed to be suitable for those 'looking to address skin laxity, acne, pigmentation and wrinkles'. Susannah's first 'tweakment' in 17 years comes after she tried Botox 'a long, long time ago'. The television personality's latest procedure comes after she explained that a prescription drug her mother took when pregnant had a permanent impact on her looks. Baring her teeth for the camera in October 2018, Susannah exposed the 'grey tombstone' teeth she was left with from birth. The fashion guru explained how her teeth were permanently discoloured by antibiotics her mother took in pregnancy. She said the drug tetracycline – commonly handed to mothers-to-be in the 60s and 70s – has had a lasting effect on her looks. In a candid video posted to Instagram at the time, Susannah took the brave decision to show her teeth while asking for advice on how to deal with the problem. The former What Not to Wear host told her 21,000 followers: 'When my mother was pregnant with me she took an antibiotic called tetracycline. 'And one of the side effects of taking that antibiotic was that the foetus would develop grey teeth throughout their life and as you can see my teeth are discoloured. 'If anyone knows of a solution to these grey tombstones I would be really grateful to hear what you have to say.' The antibiotic, designed to fight bacterial infections, was once prescribed for everything from sore throats and skin conditions to urinary tract infections. But studies later discovered that when taken by pregnant women, the drug can become calcified in the permanent teeth developing under their baby's gum line, discolouring them for good. Later, when the baby teeth grow out, the tetracycline-stained ones move into position and reveal themselves. The unsightly stains can appear as yellow, grey or brown marks as well as white spots and translucent edges, with few solutions available. Susannah said in a video called 'Teeth! Oh what to do?', which has been viewed almost 4,000 times: 'You can't get them bleached because what happens is the white parts get whiter and so the grey parts look greyer. 'And I don't want to get them bonded or veneered because I don't like fake-looking teeth.' One fan replied: 'My hubs has the same thing from his mum taking antibiotics when pregnant. He will never smile for a photo properly, lips always shut.' The Royal Pharmaceutical Society said tetracycline is no longer given to under-12s or pregnant women except in rare cases. It is still used to treat acne and the sexually transmitted disease chlamydia. Susannah's mother Mary Rose, who suffered from manic depression, died in 2008 aged 76. The TV star has described how the mental illness had an effect on her childhood as her mother was 'in and out of psychiatric hospitals' and made 'several suicide attempts'. Revealing a family history of struggles with booze, Susannah previously said on the on the ADHD Chatter podcast: 'I was born an alcoholic, my mum was an alcoholic and my grandmother was an alcoholic. 'I just say that alcoholism is a genetic disorder and it's a mental disorder – drinking too much is a symptom and you might have the same gene. 'Just be aware and if you're worried, I've been through it, I've got the medal, come to me.' Susannah, who is married to Sten Bertelsen, was very much an 'It Girl' in the 1980s, and even dated Princess Margaret's son, David, Viscount Linley for eight years. Susannah worked in America for designer Giorgio Armani before working for John Galliano in London. The presenter met long-term pal Trinny Woodall in 1994 and they began writing a weekly fashion column, Ready To Wear, and founded They became famous for co-hosting the popular TV series What Not To Wear from 2001 to 2005. She tied the knot with businessman Sten in 1995 and they share three children Cece, 20, Esme, 23, and Joe, 24, and have spent their three decades travelling the world.

Trinny Woodall, 61, displays her impressive abs in skintight matching gym set as she hosts a yoga session with fans
Trinny Woodall displayed her impressive abs as she lead a yoga session with her fans on Tuesday. The What Not To Wear star, 61, proved age is just a number as she showed off her toned torso on social media. Trinny took to her Instagram Story of Tuesday to share she was about to go live on YouTube with a yoga class for her followers to join in on. She announced the class sporting a skintight matching gym set in a grey crocodile print, consisting of a strappy sports bra and high-waisted leggings. In the clip, Trinny said: 'Good morning all, sorry for the lateness. Once a month I do Australian telly and it doesn't end until 12, so I just overslept. 'Anyway Victoria's here and we're going to do a sort of half an hour yoga session of just waking up your body and getting ready for the day. So join us on YouTube now.' From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. It comes after Trinny opened up about her struggle with her weight, admitting that the pounds fall off her too easily. Also taking to Instagram, she shared that she now focuses on getting enough protein in her diet after losing 4kg from an illness. She said: 'I'm not one to talk about weight because for me it's about strength and definitely the maintenance of protein as you go down the path of life. 'But today I am I have always had a high metabolism and I have always been what some people might define as thin. 'What I don't love is when I lose weight especially after being ill and I can lose it quickly - what I notice is the change in my body.' Trinny added: 'Muscle needs daily protein and muscle keeps my bones protected - it gives structure to my skin and it gives me physical and mental strength. 'It is harder as you get older to maintain muscle mass, but it is so important.' So in a bid to keep her body looking its best, she has recently doubled her protein intake. Trinny took to her Instagram Story of Tuesday to share she was about to go live on YouTube with a yoga class for her followers to join in on Trinny joked: 'I don't want to be in a bikini with a saggy a**e. I'm just going admit that one. 'But most importantly when i get sick and lose weight it makes me feel so so vulnerable to not being strong in myself and how when I am physically strong it gives me such a mental strength. 'Ask yourself are you taking enough protein every day? You should really take double the kilos that you weigh especially as you reach menopause and beyond... Sometimes that's really challenging.' Trinny openly talks about some of the health benefits she buys into as the reason she looks so good into her 60s - including regular workouts and consistent skincare. She most recently revealed the secrets behind her noticeably radiant complexion after what she describes as a 'very stressful' few months. Trinny, the powerhouse creator of beauty brand Trinny London, has seen her business skyrocket over the past few years with a rapidly growing following. Torn between her many commitments, she was starting to really feel - and see - the impact of her hectic schedule. Until she discovered her unexpected love for daily meditation - something she admits 'wasn't for her' but now describes as 'profound'. She told FEMAIL: 'I lead quite a stressed life and I was realising that stress, medically, is a really sh**ty place to get to for your body. It just is. It will affect you physically and medically. 'So I thought I would take control before I let stress affect my body in a negative way. 'I had two people come into my life and I noticed such a profound difference in how they were [after meditating]. One of them I thought had had a facelift, and the other was just so much easier to sit and chat to.' Inspired, Trinny started getting up half an hour earlier each morning and spend 20 minutes meditating with a mantra. She then finds time for a second 20-minute block in the afternoon - even if it's in the bathroom at her office. 'I've been doing it for four weeks now and I really feel a shift. When you're stressed, from an aesthetic perspective, it shows on your face,' she said.

Is the era of style critics ending? Fashion makeover show gets a makeover
Stacy London and Clinton Kelly spent more than a decade critiquing style choices as the co-hosts of the TLC makeover show What Not To Wear , which ended in 2013. Now, the duo is back with a new show and a new message: Wear Whatever The F You Want . Streaming on Prime Video – with shoppable products accessible to viewers through a scannable QR code in each episode – the series focuses on helping participants achieve 'their fantasy ideal as opposed to what's palatable to America', as London put it. After helping participants live out wardrobe metamorphoses as punk-rock gods and powerhouse divas, the pair talked about throwing out the old fashion rule book and encouraging people to find the most authentic version of themselves. This interview has been edited and condensed. Who came up with the title for the new show? Kelly: I did, after a television producer said they wished we would bring back What Not To Wear . I said, 'The world has changed so much since that show ended, the only show I would do now would have to be called Wear Whatever The F You Want , because that's what we all should be doing.' Then I thought, 'That is actually a really good title for a show!'' Read more: How today's best-dressed men aren't just wearing style – they're shaping it How do the shows differ in their objectives? London: For What Not To Wear , you were nominated secretly by friends and family, then we showed up saying, 'Surprise!' There's no gotcha here. These people are self-nominated and trying, like a lot of us are, to figure out what our style is, either in terms of identity or just post-Covid. Nobody wants to wear hard pants anymore, and we don't need fashion experts the way we did before social media. Kelly: What Not To Wear was us laying down the law, giving people rules and our opinions. Here, we are letting our client share with us their hopes and dreams and style fantasies. We're much more encouraging than we are judgmental about what they may want to look like. What does personal style mean to you now that it did not then? Kelly: We are both Generation X and indoctrinated just like everybody else of that age. We worked at women's magazines where it was all about looking taller and thinner, how to attract a man or lose 20 pounds in a weekend. London: It used to be, 'Oh, let's define your waist so that you look taller.' Now we say, 'Who cares about your waist?' If you don't care about flattering, we don't care about flattering either. You can use style to say a lot of things that you might not know how to express yet yourself. You lean into the joy of clothes and how they can make you feel. Do you think that was missing from the previous generation of makeover shows? Kelly: As hosts, but also human beings, telling people what to do feels very emotionally primitive. It's fun to give your opinion without really any repercussions. But it isn't the kind of thing that makes you feel really proud of yourself when you put your head on the pillow. Now, it's much more about collaborating with a client and helping to instill a sense of empowerment while watching somebody give birth to a different and more authentic version of themselves London: We had a lot of joy making this show, and watching the way that taking style to the extreme allowed somebody to see themselves differently. Many of them don't think they can do it themselves. They're still looking for some kind of validation, they worry they don't know how to do it right. That's where we come in like guardrails. You don't shy away from difficult life stories, including eating disorders and serious illness. London: Not all of the stories are easy stories to tell, but they feel reflective of and culturally relevant to 2025. We are talking about things that we did not talk about before, like gender and race and sexuality and menopause because of younger generations. And there's a multigenerational learning curve going on as older people take lessons from Gen Z. People in their 50s and 60s who thought they were gay or didn't have a word or the language for pan or asexual, whatever it is, finally have something more to define themselves with, including with their wardrobes. What are some of the more challenging aspects of doing this sort of work? London: Because we were talking about things that are new in terms of cultural conversation, safety is very important. Clinton speaks to this pretty dramatically in one episode – just because you want to dress the exact way you want, we never want to put you in a place where you're going to be in harm's way. I think that is the only rule for dressing in whatever you want: to be mindful that there are still places that are not safe for you to be you. Any little guidelines for viewers looking to get started on a similar journey at home? Kelly: The first thing you have to do is ask yourself, 'What are the three adjectives that you would like the rest of the world to think about you without you ever opening your mouth?' Style is nonverbal communication, so what do you want people to think about you? Then go into your closet and anything that does not support those three adjectives, you might want to think about getting rid of them. That is a lifelong challenge. Every few years, we really have to take a look at where we are and say, 'Well, we've evolved in this area. Maybe we need to evolve our style too.' London: We say fashion starts in the brain, because it has to be undoing the belief system that you have internalized your whole life that told you – you can't wear prints, or you look awful in green. What is actually true to you? What do you believe? And that's how you come up with those adjectives and change the closet into the person that you know that you authentically are. Because often the thoughts that you have in your head about yourself are not your own thoughts. They are the thoughts that have been implanted into your head by the media, social media, your parents, your lovers, your classmates. Read more: From gym to glam: Why the fashion industry is obsessed with sportswear right now What do you want people to take from the show? Kelly: This is the fashion education that we should be giving people: 'Who do you want to be today? What message are we going for?' Beyond just 'this fits me,' lets get people confident in using style as a tool in their arsenal to create more opportunity for themselves. I often use the analogy that fashion is a buffet. You have all of this stuff to choose from, then what you put on your plate is style. London: Would you take a pig in a blanket if you were a vegan? People need to use that mindset when thinking about style. – ©2025 The New York Times Company This article originally appeared in The New York Times.
