This is part Celebrity Style Steal, part Celebrity Style Alert because we are in two minds over Debbie Harry, lead singer of Blondie.
We are in awe of how great Debbie Harry looks at 71, but also a bit uh-oh about how provocative she occasionally looks.
There is obviously a profound philosophical debate to be had about whether it’s a good thing to look so, um, ‘sexy’ at 71, or a bad thing to look so sexy at 71. Stylish, gorgeous, yes; sexy, hmmm…as far as SoSensational is concerned, the jury’s out. Perhaps it needs to be discussed on a case-by-case basis!
The American-born, Debbie Harry is currently making a splash in the British media because Blondie has a new album out soon (their 11th studio album) and was behind a pop-up store in London’s Camden Market, offering “a lot of exclusive merchandise” plus a Chris Stein photo exhibition.
We think the crucial point is that she looks great for 2 reasons (well, actually, 3 reasons, the third being that she is a great-looking woman): 1. because she breaks all the rules (well, all the old rules about how you are ‘supposed’ to look and be at 71). 2. because she really knows how to make make-up work for her and remains the all-time Diva of the Smoky Eye. No-one does a Smoky Eye better than Debbie Harry (with the possible exception of Dusty Springfield, but you’d have to be a Dusty devotee, or around the same age as Cyndy and Jan to know that!)
She, Debbie Harry, obvs, not Dusty, was photographed in a stunning monochrome stripy coat by Marc Jacobs which was teamed with a high-neck black blouse by Givenchy. There were also some black trousers by Proenza Schouler and some fine jewellery (including earrings and rings) by Noor Fares and Repossi.
Steal her style in grown-up, graphic monochrome, accessorised with sparkly jewellery.
On the beauty front, if being blonde suits you, stay being blonde. Going grey isn’t compulsory after you pass a certain age. And while we know that doing a smoky-eye may invite the odd comment about having been in the boxing ring and acquired “a black eye” ignore such comments.
