This picture serves as evidence that the camera loved Kate Moss from a very early age. You don't see her around quite as much as you used to, but during the 1990s and the early 21st century, Moss was the ultimate 'it girl.' The British model was the first name anybody called when they needed a glamorous star for an advertising campaign, and she was the biggest supermodel in the world for a long time. All that really changed when she hit the big time was her hairstyle.
The only thing that followed Moss around as much as the paparazzi when she got older was controversy. She developed something of a love for bad-boy musicians, and was briefly married to 'Libertines' star Pete Doherty. Not all of the press attention she's received has been positive, but that hasn't stopped her from being one of the most enduring 'Vogue' cover stars of all time. Even now, well into her 40s, she regularly appears on 'most beautiful women in the world' lists.
Chefs made their way into celebrity land a while ago. But how many celebrities that weren’t trained as professional cooks are actually whizzes in the kitchen? Here are several that come to mind.
Actress Julia Roberts is confident about her cooking skills. “I’m quite a good cook,” she told E! News. “I’m like a closet home ec teacher…I can really cook anything.” Roberts has said she often cooks fish for herself and her kids. And speaking of her three children, “They think that I’m a good cook,” Roberts told People. “They actually told me that I should open a restaurant.” She also relishes cooking for the holidays, particularly shredded Brussel sprouts. Roberts hasn’t published a cookbook, but we did find recipes attributed to her for peach crisp and banana hemp muffins. Or you can make the same summer salad the actress supposedly eats.
Chrissy Teigen started off as a supermodel. Then her love of cooking filtered into her professional life too. At this point, she’s created recipes for a limited Blue Apron release and also just launched her own home and cooking line at Target named “Cravings,” after the two cookbooks she’s released. Teigen describes cooking as “a time of peace” for herself. So maybe peace out to her tuna melt sandwich or the fried chicken wings that are a favorite of her husband, John Legend.
Lady Gaga, whose real name is Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta, comes from a cooking Italian family. Her father started his own restaurant in New York and also published a cookbook. And apparently, Lady Gaga has inherited the family’s cooking genes. Her Instagram account occasionally features photos of her culinary activities. Sure, sometimes it’s topless cooking. But other times it’s more poignant like in the post she shared about her bringing food to the family of her dear friend who passed away. Want to try a Gaga/Germanotta family favorite?
