Kate Moss won't let her 15-year-old daughter pose topless


They say ‘Mama knows best’ — and when you’re Kate Moss, and your 15-year-old daughter is considering a modelling career, it seems especially fitting.

The 44-year-old supermodel — who posed nude when she was the age her daughter is now — has revealed she “wouldn’t let her daughter do it” in an interview with Today.

Kate, who rose to fame as a teenager, said she felt “pressure” in her day to go naked — something she’s determined shouldn’t happen to daughter Lila Grace Moss Hack.

“Yeah, there was pressure, I did not like it at all when I first started,” she said, talking about the industry at the time. “I was still always like, ‘Can I just put some clothes on?'”

The 44-year-old went on to state that despite her own actions, she wouldn’t want her daughter to do the same.

“I wouldn’t let my daughter do it,” she noted. “I look at her and she’s 15, and to think that I was going topless at her age is crazy.”

She did add though that if Lila Grace did want to follow in her footsteps, she would be happy to “support her”.

Kate — and was constantly criticised for being “too skinny” and “too naked in her hey day — also said she wasn’t a fan of the social media era.

But credited it for changing the fact models “don’t have to” pose nude “if they don’t want to do it”.
