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

She's trying something different. She's not dead yet.

Good on her for giving it a go. At 84 why not?

At 84 Why??

Prefer Dame Judy Dench! Now she has class.

Is Pru Leith so desperate for publicity that she agreed to appear in public looking like this? It's not smart, it's not sexy, it's just a mess.

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

She looks ridiculous and so do the designers.

Does anyone think Mary Berry would have been tempted! 😂😂

I've seen worse on catwalks.
At least she's wearing sensible shoes.

Quite

Remind me to avoid the “conceptual artists” aisle next time I’m in M&S 🤣🤣

Do you think it constitutes elder abuse?

Have you seen the designers?

I think she looks awful and I’m actually surprised that she would agree to walk in this outfit…🤷‍♀️

My heart sank when I saw the headline “Dame Prue Leith sexed -up”
Dame Prue Leith has been “sexed up” to walk the runway in a latex dress for avant-garde eco-designers Vin + Omi
The Bake Off judge, 84, appeared in the duo’s 20th anniversary show, Moxie, in Kensington as part of London Fashion Week wearing a black latex dress with red stitching and matching evening gloves
Speaking before the show, Omi told The Telegraph: “You’re going to see Prue Leith like you’ve never seen her before, not in your wildest dreams.
“. Even her husband doesn’t know what she’s wearing, he’s going to be shocked but he’s going to love it. We’re gonna sex her up. “
He added that Dame Prue, a close friend of the pair, is “game for anything
Laying my cards on the table
1) I don’t think black latex is “sexy” - I think it looks tarty and that is NOT the same thing
2) black and scarlet are such an unimaginative and hackneyed combination if looking glamorous is the intention
3) with trainers?
4) I think Prue Leith has her own, colourful style. I love the big glasses, the bold necklaces and adventurous colours - she generally looks fantastic.
“Sexed up” is not her style and it depresses me that yet another man seems to equate looking sexy with looking attractive.
🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
