The Most Elegant Woman
Comments
Yes, it would be wonderful & simple if we could all age as this gorgeous woman but many of us are not all blessed with her beautifully sculpted face. Some of us just get the dark, baggy eyes and not-so-sexy saggy double chins. But it is wonderful to see an older woman appreciated and not casted aside for an emaciated pre-teen image.
I have always prefered natural beuaty and inteligence. No plastic surgery, no tats or piercings, no make up necessary to turn me on. Nothing beats waking up to the women you love and having her say something clever, so yo can start the day with a great big laugh!
Keep it natural ladies and gentlemen! This woman is stunning at 20 something and better at 50 something. Bravo!
A woman, no matter what age, who is comfortable in her own skin exudes charm and sexiness.
I was struck, intensely struck, by the photo of Fressange as a younger woman on the runway. She appears natural and (to me) much more beautiful than today’s “supermodels.” There’s something about the current style of modeling—hard, angular, hurried, angry, snappish, glowering, aggressive, indifferent, or whatever the intention is (and this goes for male as well as female models)—that baffles me. I know they are supposed to be cool, but they just come across as alienating. And I don’t see how they illuminate the clothing or any image of what life could be.
How different this photo is. I don’t know if it’s an anomaly, or if what I’m reading into it was characteristic of her style. But it makes a powerful impression.
What do you think? You spend a lot more time than I do thinking about the world and the semiotics of fashion. I didn’t know that it made a difference to me until I saw an image that felt like blessed relief…
The only look worse than a person with a Botoxed brow is one with a Botoxed brow AND collagen lips.
Amen. Glad to see you make the point that beauty marches onwards, especially without the interference of any artificial physical alterations.
Mon Dieu, that woman is stunning. Look at her and Lauren Hutton and the women in your family and tell me you wouldn’t rather look like them than… some other famous people who’ve been under the knife a few times too often??
I’m 53 1/2 and proud of my un-Botoxed laugh lines—they’re proof I’ve lived and loved. I pray I will look like my grandmother and mother and aunts, not like some cryogenically-frozen wax version of them.
Reminds me of what John Waters once said about older women and facelifts: “At 65, surprised is not your best look…”
If only we could all age as gracefully as this beautiful woman, there’d be no NEED for Botox!
Always enjoy reading Lisa’s funny, smart, sensible and always CHIC column.
