At the Christian Dior spring/ summer 2023 show late last year, 74-year-old model Maye Musk attended in a neat, black quilted jacket (nipped in at the waist) and a swingy, A-line gingham skirt, accessorised with stompy lace-up boots, a timeless pearl necklace and flash of red lipstick. The perfect mash-up of practical and paparazzi-grabbing - and très élégant.
