Kelly Ripa stuns fans with incredibly youthful appearance in latest photo

Kelly Ripa celebrated a milestone birthday in October after turning 50, but the Live with Kelly and Ryan star’s fans couldn’t get over how youthful she looked in her latest Instagram photo.

In a picture posted on Friday, the All My Children star looked ageless dressed in a jumper with the slogan ‘More Glitter Less Twitter’, as she posed in front of the mirror.

In the caption, one of her followers wrote: “You look 38. There’s no way you’re 50,” to which the star responded: “@kristoferbuckle did my makeup. It was a magical day. He’s like a one man time machine.”

Another fan compared Kelly to her teenage daughter Lola, writing: “Wow Lola looks just like you here. Gorgeous,” while a third added: “Do you ever age? You look beautiful.”

The star’s makeup artist, Kristofer Buckle, works his magic on many big names, including Mariah Carey, Kris Jenner and Khloe Kardashian.

The Hope and Faith actress often gets complimented on her appearance and looks TV perfect when she presents Live with Kelly and Ryan each day.

During the pandemic, Kelly adapted to working at home for a lot of 2020 and during those days she did her own makeup.

The TV presenter returned to the studio in September when it was safe to do so, and has been hosting the popular daytime show there ever since.

While it’s been nice for a sense of normality again – for both viewers and Kelly – the star did enjoy spending quality time at home with her family, especially her husband Mark Consuelos.

Mark usually works away from home and it was the first time the family were all together for a long period of time. Kelly told her co-host, Ryan Seacrest, that being under one roof for an extended period of time highlighted just how in love they are.

“The pandemic happened and we spent an unprecedented amount of time together,” she told Ryan just after Mark had left for Canada.

“We spent six months together in the same house. It was a testament that we really like each other. I’m sad not to wake up with him, it’s very sad. I will miss him, that’s all I can say.”

The actor has since gone back to filming away from home, and Kelly and Mark often share photos from their virtual dates nights on social media.
