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

I looked hard but couldn’t see the whip.

Probably secured in the laces.

Her hair is fantastic. Wonderful trainers.

She's walking at Fashion Week, which is an oxymoron if there ever was one. I doubt she will actually purchase this ridiculous "fashion" -- reverting after Fashion Week to her usual attractive style.

Good on her for wearing what she likes and doing what she wants. Who cares what she looks like?

Good on her, but IMO that outfit is ridiculous and would be on anyone.
It’s more like an advert for that What Not To Wear program.
Sexy is usually used to mean sexually attractive or exciting. I wonder if anyone whose preference is for females will see it like that.

I don't think it's sexy but what do I know. I just showed the pic to my 78 year old DH and he said 'What on earth possessed her?'

I am all for age being no barrier to what you wear, and bully for Pru Leith being willing to take part.

My big query is: who decided the Outfit she has on is 'sexy'? Looks more 'bag lady' to me, but may be I am not up with what pulls the average 70 plus man.

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

👏👏👏

That outfit looks sad and unattractive to me - looks as if she’s auditioning to play a woodlouse in an avant garde play……

Why anyone would want to make her ‘look sexy’ I don’t know, but, give her love of vibrant colours, a slinky sequinned rainbow dress might have hit the mark?

Not keen on her ‘Kettlewell’ look either - colours too garish and too much going on!

I think she’s game for a laugh and that’s what she’s having, good for her.

And the article I quoted did say a latex dress with matching evening gloves

What fun she is. It's leather btw only the gloves are latex.

Well these days it should be pleather - another black mark to the so- called designers.

It's not Halloween for a few weeks yet 🕸️

Too much black me thinks.

I don’t like her, but think she looks good in whatever she wears. Good head of hair and nice teeth. Trying new things keeps you young!

So now, when anyone wants to wear leather, be it a skirt, a dress,, a jacket or a coat, they are going to be deemed as being 'sexed-up'?? How ridiculous

She's trying something new. I'm sure it's a one-off. I doubt she'll be wearing it to Waitrose.

Fashion Week, whether in London, Paris, Milan or New York main aim is to get column inches the more shocking the more publicity for the designers and the overall event.

The outrageous designs are a one off, their collections for sale are paired down and made more wearable.

People are talking and writing about Prue and the designers, free publicity and a lot of it 👏👏👏

Oh dear me.

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

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

*paddyann*, it's not about leather clothing. It's about ugly, ridiculous clothing.

Still, if they paid PL well to prance about like that you've got to admire her guts.

Good publicity for the new series starting soon.

🤔
