Lamb-dressed-as-mutton: Katherine Heigl, pictured in LA today with husband Josh Kelley, seems to favour a rather middle-aged style for her off-duty look, often sporting a mostly grey or beige palette


She's a knockout on film, stunning on the red carpet and is widely considered to be one of the world's most beautiful women.

But recent pictures of Katherine Heigl in real life have shown her looking rather less youthful than the screen siren we are so familiar with.

Though she has flawless skin and a face and body most other women would kill for, the 32-year-old star appears to have a penchant for a somewhat middle-aged style.

Beige seems to be her go-to colour with sensible shirts and belted trousers forming the core of her wardrobe.

An despite the sunny climes of LA where she lives with her husband and adopted daughter Naleigh, she always covers up in drapey shapes, jackets and boots.

Of course, no-one could accuse Ms Heigl of committing any fashion sins. She plays it far too safe for that - but given the means at her disposal, she could have a lot more fun with her off-duty look.

Making the effort: It seems the star can look fabulous when she wants to, such as on the red carpet at the Oscars in 2008 (left) and at last year's Country Music Awards (right)


Fashion writer and stylist Siam Goorwich told MailOnline that the star has no excuse not to make more effort.

She said: 'It's beyond me how anyone in Hollywood can fail to look good.

'I'm not expecting Katherine Heigl to be red carpet glam 24/7, but with their money, access to stylists and perfectly toned bodies there is an expectation that Hollywood stars will at least attempt to throw a bit of a look together before leaving the house.

'For most of us the two biggest opponents to looking good are time and money, neither of which are a problem for someone in Katherine's position (yes, I know she has a baby, but are you seriously telling me there’s no nanny, cook and cleaner?!)

'What’s more it’s no secret that celebs are inundated with freebies from fashion PRs desperate for them to wear their clothes – you have to wonder what she’s doing with it all!'

She recommended that Ms Heigl try to embrace some of the more colourful looks that are in Vogue right now.

'My biggest gripe has to be the lack of colour in her wardrobe – yes, beige and grey are chic, but colour-blocking is such a big trend this year it would be great to see Katherine step out of her comfort zone and give it a go.'

Even Ms Heigl's hair has come under widespread criticism for looking ageing. When she debuted her new look last month, readers of the MailOnline were quick to cast their verdict.

MrsDaisyP from Australia wrote: 'Whoever does her cut and colour should be shot. For someone with that much money I'd be upgrading the hair stylist.'

Joanna from Warsaw was more scathing, adding: 'She always looks like a German housewife from a small town where there is only one hairdresser who can only bleach and perm.'
