Is “sexy” what you want to be in your mid-80’s?

The alternative to that black outfit is not only beige.
Fair enough for Prue to walk down the catwalk, age should not come into it but that outfit would still look totally ridiculous whether the model was 24 or 84.

Are the designers misogynists?

She s a very good looking lady and doesn’t look her age at all she also game for lots with a lot of spirit but that thing that she is wearing is stupid and very unflattering for anyone 19 to 90 it’s awful for any age and the designers look ridiculous too
Stupid imo

"Mutton" and "Lamb" spring to mind.
Leave it to publicity-desperate wannabe teen porn stars Prue, and go back to class and style.

She looks silly and most definitely not sexy.
Now I can't see Mary Berry needing to do this, and there is a Lady.

I'm 72. What I want to be at eighty four is alive and well: clothing style tbc.

🙏 me too.

My point is it doesn't matter if she looks awful or dreadful. She's 84 and she's done something different and probably for her, exciting. Good for her.

I’m 84 and I have no desire to look sexy. Elegant would be my ideal.

It's a fashion show!
Perhaps she could wear a nice Seasalt top, with a cardi, some M&S trousers, and Hotter shoes.

Exactly MissA

A very successful outfit, as it has got maximum publicity.

Not intended to be worn anywhere other than the runway

I think she's secure enough in herself to wear her usual type of clothing as soon as the show is over.

I doubt she'll be slinking around in that type of outfit on Bake Off.

She has lent her name- and reputation - to Kettlewell Colours.
Maybe this is what we have come to expect for 84 year olds!

Now you're talking. Love Kettlewell!

She looks great there (I think)

She looks small and dumpy in this oversized garment.. not her usual colourful. vibrant self..

I think the term sexed up is ridiculous IMO no woman could look sexy in that outfit

I absolutely hate the term “sexed up”

I think she’s a bit mad, but it’s ok to wear whatever you want

That would be funny 😂😂😂😂

Surely we don’t expect to wear one style of clothing just because of our age?I don’t,never have and never will I would be very irritated if anyone suggested I should.

So would you wear that black creation paddyann?

I think she looks fabulous

The audience looks distinctly underwhelmed.

I admire any woman who's brave enough to be different.
Personally I don't want to look sexy, just be comfortable now at very nearly 87. My creaky bones need warmth and softness.

Dare a man intervene?

There are two separate questions here, one specific and one general. Specifically, I expect Prue Leith thought it was a huge joke, and I suppose it might look sexy to followers of the Marquis de Sade.

On the more general question, as I approach my mid eighties, I would love to look sexy, but I'm a realist! And what could I do if I did?

Well if you can't look outrageous at 84 when are you going to do it? Sadly I don't know any deranged designers who would try sexing me up.

That is very Prue Leith,she loves attention and talking about her sex life….yuck.

I'm going against the grain, I think she looks great.

Well I really like it, and for once the trainers actually go with the dress. But I don't think it is 'sexy' and don't accept that any outfit should be 'sexy' by default, on anyone (of any age).

No Prue that’s not sexy, in general if you have the figure at 70 or 80 you can be very stylish, even alluring, plenty of celebrities do that.
Just make the best of what you’ve got, nice makeup, nice smile and sparking eyes
