I believe the secret to looking stylish at any age isn't about slavishly copying the latest trends, but investing in classic, sophisticated pieces and pulling them off with panache. Get it right and you will sizzle well into your 60s. My new book Grown-Up Glamour (a great little stocking filler) is a follow up to my bestseller How To Be Adored. I believe that every generation of grown-up girls has a myth to contend with. Today's new myth of invisibility suggests that the older a woman becomes, the more disposable she gets - her attractiveness is proportionate to her fertility. As women fade into the background, their reproductive years trailing behind them, men remain sharply in focus - they stay fertile and automatically sexier, too. But hold on a minute - that makes Anna Wintour less compelling than Arsene Wenger, Ben Elton more magnetic than Nastassja Kinski and Sigourney Weaver's fanciability factor nothing compared to the animal pull of Robin Gibb? Riiight ...
Women are only invisible if they choose to be - and let's face it, some days you want to be and thats fine. But there are many of us who refuse to be defined by such garbage. A compelling, sophisticated and alluring woman will remain so whatever her age - think Cate Blanchett, helen Mirren, Julie Christie. So if you fear you may be losing your touch when confronted with Lindsay Lohan's trout poutor Lady Gaga's knickers don't take solace in inertia - READ MY BOOK!!!! As Katharine Hepburn said, "If you don't paddle your own canoe, you don't move."
