Serene, poised and with the hint of a shy smile — Kate Moss was barely recognisable when the Mail published pictures of her yesterday as a sweet 17-year-old posing for a bridal magazine.
Twenty years on, and the wear and tear of her notorious lifestyle has taken its toll.
Here, we look back at Kate’s 20-year career and chart the decline of a once-great beauty.
2011: Looking 37 going on 47, Kate is now busy preparing for her July wedding to Jamie Hince.
How she is dressed on the big day will be a surprise, but one thing is certain: she’ll be almost unrecognisable from the fresh-faced 17-year-old that she was 20 years ago when she posed in that early shoot for Brides magazine.

That was then: Kate Moss posing for Brides magazine at the age of 17
Smiling demurely for the camera, this is Kate Moss posing as a virginal bride aged just 17.
Twenty years on, the supermodel may be seeking to recapture the look for her imminent wedding, but the chances of her being anywhere near as fresh-faced and dewy-eyed seem pretty remote.
For years of partying, hard drinking and drug abuse have clearly taken their toll on the 37-year-old.
Party girl: Hard-drinking and drug abuse have taken their toll on her looks
The pictures, from a 1991 feature in Brides magazine, show the model when she was still a teenager on the brink of stardom.
Those were the days before she left Croydon, south London, to embrace a lifestyle that encapsulated sex, drugs and rock ‘n’ roll – and plenty of booze and cigarettes to boot.
Innocent: The shoot, completed early in her career, demonstrates just how much Kate's lifestyle has taken its toll
For the photoshoot, Miss Moss modelled that year’s best bridal fashions, all of which were priced at under £500.
However, the pictures merely illustrate the impact her hedonistic lifestyle – including the infamous Cocaine Kate allegations in 2005 – has had on her looks in the intervening years.
Indeed, tumbling out of a friend’s house in west London on Tuesday evening, the model appeared typically well-refreshed.
Miss Moss and Jamie Hince, guitarist in band The Kills, are to marry on July 2 in a church close to her Oxfordshire home.

Mario Sorrenti is a photographer and director best known for his nude photo spreads in Vogue and Harper's Bazaar.
Coming from a background of artists and photographers, he self taught himself first using personal black and white images assembled in dense diaries. This caught of the eye of art director Phil Bicker which led to his first advertising commissions with the Calvin Klein brand.
Mario has worked campaigns and directed commercials for Calvin Klein, most notably Kate Moss for the Calvin Klein Obsession ads. Other work on his resume include Prada, Yves Saint Laurent, Lancome, Benetton, and Paco Rabanne.
Mario Sorrenti's style is basic experimentation where his fascination lies with the process of making images.

Alexander McQueen's fashion will live on forever. Case in point, his house was responsible for Princess Kate Middleton's wedding dress this past Friday. Of course the designer was Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen, who was his long term assistant and is currently the Creative Director for the fashion hause since his suicide last year...
Alexander McQueen was a great and innovative designer who was renown in London, but made his influence all the way to the U.S. He was always pushing the boundaries on his fashion designs and fashion shows, giving mixed reviews from critics, but nowadays regarded as GENIUS.
But was McQueen the obvious choice for Kate Middleton's dress? Though potential designers were also up for the running, Alexander McQueen seemed like the best choice. He has a history on regal designs that gave the hint of a potential big wedding dress opportunity in the future. At his apprenticeship at Savile Row early in his fashion career, his clients were Prince Charles and Mikhail Gorbachev!!!
CHECK OUT HIS REGAL DESIGNS!!! His unique style caught the attention of the biggest names in the fashion and media: KATE MOSS, SARAH JESSICA PARKER, NAOMI CAMPBELL, STELLA MCCARTNEY, BJORK, KANYE WEST, ANNA WINTOUR, RIHANNA, KATY PERRY, NICOLE KIDMAN, PENELOPE CRUZ AND MOST NOTABLY LADY GAGA TODAY.
