Kate Moss has been known as one of the most beautiful women in the modeling industry, but internet users did not show her the kind of praise she usually receives after recent paparazzi photos of her went viral.

The supermodel was recently photographed having a beach day in Spain with her daughter, Lila, and the pictures were shared on social media. On platforms like Instagram, several users pointed out that they hardly “recognized her” and her appearance as she walked to the ocean with her daughter. However, she still has her loyal fanbase who were there to defend her against any rude or harsh comments. Read more about her new summertime snaps below.

Kate Moss And Daughter Lila Moss Are Photographed On A Beach In Spain

Last week, the cultural icon was spotted on vacation in Ibiza, Spain, with her 22-year-old daughter Lila Moss. Lila, like her mom, is slowly becoming one of today's most talked-about supermodels, so seeing them out and about together was a big deal for those who love the fashion and runway industries.

 

Paparazzi in Ibiza captured the mother-daughter duo stepping out in their bikinis, getting ready to lie out in the sand and hit the ocean. They each had dark-colored two pieces on, and at one point, Kate was seen walking behind her daughter with her blonde hair in a high bun and some denim shorts and a belt covering up her black bikini bottoms. The photos of them together can be seen here.

 

The British icon was pictured chuckling and laughing with her daughter, and the photos of them were quickly spread around social media platforms like Instagram, where people weren't the nicest regarding her appearance.

The Internet Reacts To Kate And Lila's Beach Day Photos On Instagram

Once the pictures of the 51-year-old and her daughter went viral on social media, some internet users were shocked by her face, commenting how they thought she looked noticeably older and "unrecognizable."

 

"I would not have recognized her!" wrote an Instagram user.

 

Other Instagram users called out the model for her smoking habit, as she's been photographed smoking cigarettes throughout most of her career, and although she's claimed to have slowed down on how much she smokes, she's still captured lighting up from time to time.

 

One user commented that the photos were an example of "what smoking looks like" on a "woman her age."

 

"Oh my god, the damage from smoking," wrote another.

 

"I really thought she would age as beautifully as other models and celebrities; I didn't think she would age like this."

 

"She looks so bad!" commented another user.

 

While the photos did not receive a lot of love, being that she's still such a significant figure in pop culture, Kate has very loyal fans who were there to defend her from mean comments about how she looked.

 

"Have fun, mom and daughter!" wrote an enthusiastic fan. "Don't listen to the awful, mean, negative troll comments."

 

Another fan argued against those who wrote that she was "aging" and didn't look right, commenting, "I don't think she looks bad at all!"

 

"I don't understand these comments," added a supportive user.

 

"She's not 16 or even 30 anymore. She has done nothing to her face and has aged so gracefully and happily."
