post a commentTres Chic... I think the coat is just a tad long..she looks petite.. maybe a taller heel on the shoe... other than that..C'est Magnifique!
LOVE that coat!! LOVE her!!
This woman looks very very great!! This coat is beautiful, I love it...
I hope I look like her, when I'm in her age...
This is why I love Paris!! I want to be her when I grow up!
ella es fabulosa
terribly chic.
if this isn't chic, i don't know what is.
Por favor, por favor, por favor....
Lighter pants, please.
elegance, sofisticate but agressive and new...divina
im not crazy about her jacker, but gotta give her snaps for doin the damn thing.
Since living in France one of the things that I think is fantastic, compared to in the UK, is that as women get older they become MORE stylish, where as in the UK they seem to 'let it all hang out'. Not that that's a bad thing (hey, you've got to have some time to relax, right?), but it is something I love about older French women. And they are never, ever without a pair of chic designer sunglasses.
Interesting.
Maybe it looks better in person.
A deadringer for Imelda Marcos
tres chic. mais, how about a pencil skirt with a pair of heels with that beautiful coat. something seems off on scale with the pant. thinner or thicker legs with heels could help. but hey, she's lovely. i'm just being picky and honest. love love love the necklace, hair, glasses, coat.
I want to be her when I grow up
she is the epitome of elegance.
everything about her is so confident and oozes a knowledge of what suits her and what works. a perfect example of a classic elegant yet modern look. it also feels quite european. she wouldn't look out of place in the inner city of vienna.
hiromix
Love this lady - the top 20% is so demure & from there down it gets funkier & funkier!
She is probably a chic lady from le 16eme arrondissement, potentially the grandmother of the girl posted today with the gorgeous flannel pleated pants who probably works in le 3eme arrondisement!
A perfect Parisian style story.
If I were here I'd go for a softer hair style. Less Elizabeth II and Maggie Thatcher. Other than that, she's lovely
I can't stop smiling !!
This is me in about 20 years !!
Love her style !!
Adore the layered necklaces and the coat is spectacular. FABU!!
Sophisticated Funky. I love the look but I would like to see a higher heel to elongate her silhouette.
That's the most beautiful coat I've ever seen! With those chic sunglasses and pearls... wow! I hope I have a fraction of her style when I'm her age!
Love this dame. Perfect. One of my favourite Sartorialist moments.
I'd do it with cream colored pants and a nice pair of heels - keep that elongated shape going...
she is the epitome of a chic parisian!! just gorgeous!
im going to have to start wearing pearls like that
Poise + confidence + animal print = the best lady with pearls and red lips ever.
She is so elegant and lovely.
CEO of the Cougars!!! Resistance if futile! (Oh yeah, and she's beyond Fabulous!!)
She's wearing the wrong shoes for those pants, but the jacket and sunglasses are just great.
Interesting how much better this looks when enlarged. While I do like it a lot, I agree with the comment about slimming the leg silhouette or making the heels higher.
I noticed in Europe that a lot of older women manage to cover up their necks, so I wonder if the pearl choker is being employed this way even if it does look ok. Don't know that I think pearls with the funky coat are right...The pants could be a little shorter and a tad more tapered. But yeah, she looks cool and together.
I agree with another posting that in France (and Italy) older women get bolder and more stylish as they get older. A privilege more women should take advantage of. When I was 18-20 I was dying to look as chic as some older women.You can pile on the jewelry and have the bonus of usually being able to afford better stuff.
She looks so chic and modern..like her style has evolved naturally through the eras she's lived, with the exception of the hair. Needs evolution...let it go gray? Softer on the face...something shorter? Glad it's not blonder...as a 46 year old, I find this a challenge as one goes on.
wow givenchy couture !?
stunning coat. i almost wish the observations by ivy lane & anonymous@9h29 (re: the proportions) hadn't been made because otherwise it would've been perfect afaic. i've got nothing more to add that hasn't been said already.
anon@9h29 (re: imelda marcos) - that made me giggle
she a remind me of the lady in il travatore when the man take the coat from the other lady to make revenge on her. the animal dress like how she prowl the street look for a man to conquest. bellisima! it is maybe the possible she is actress from days before. beautiful woman who is soft and who one can approach. fellini would love, she push you away with her look but keep you close to watch her. bellisima!
It looks def great! And Nicole kidman has exactly the same coat,while she was wearing it with a short black skirt and really gorgeous black highheels...:)
wow givenchy couture !?
I wonder if she'd adopt me! I'd like to learn at her feet.
Dear God! That is one fabulous coat!
Hay sart, Great photo, to bad its not saying much
Images like this one make me wish I was old- just so I could pull off such striking and severe looks.
She took something that could be perceived as "trendy" and made it a timeless and sophisticated. Fantastic.
I think she could have done more damage with a high heel but other than that, she hits the right notes
Wow, Advanced Style is a big fan of this photo. Great Work!
Advancedstyle.blogspot.com
what a hilarious coat. great work though
SO cool. Great shot Sart!
looks like iconic Doir shapes
I am not a fan of leopard at all. So many people get it wrong. But, so few succeed...like her.
Goodness, I want to BE HER. :)
look at her smile..
she lookes like she has a secret and no one knows it... mysterious
From the waist up - perfect, albeit conservative. From the waist down - something doesn't work here.
There were several other older ladies presented here recently, whom I liked much better
Another stunning grown-up woman! Thanks. I do think her pants need a little tailoring or something to make them look a little sleeker. Perhaps a tad shorter would do it.
what a magnificent coat - but she looks so stern. was she happy to have her photo taken?
Nice. The fading leopard pattern creates a very innovative visual effect: it looks like the upper part of her torso is 'floating'. The pants are also very nice, great drape.
Looking at her through the eyes of a fellow petite-sized person, I recognize--with compassion!--her need for a bit of tailoring. It is extra challenging to be fashionable when you're short; nothing fits quite right off the rack. I admire her effort. And I love her coat.
i would love it with matching straight/skinny trousers. is it jpg or givenchy??? givenchy tapered trousers would be perfect. that or thigh high stretch calf espresso brown boots
ugh i dont think i can get past that coat...
I'm not crazy about the choker, and I think she has on a tad too much makeup, but what I really love are the sharp shoulders on the coat. Wonderful! Agree with others that a skirt would do this coat more justice, but that's just a quibble.
eheh, I'll never ever be able to wear such a dramatic coat, but it looks great on her.
also I love how the whole outfit is comfortable, like "ok, I have a stunning coat and it is normal"... some previous comments mentioned that "she could do more damage" with different trousers or shoes, but I think the key here is exactly that she's NOT dressed-to-impress... low key daring, if possible...
[somehow she reminds me of my mum, indeed...]
nobody sees something of M.lle Coco in her head? (hair, lipstick, sunglasses, pearls...)
Yes, so very Parisian. She's got everything:
-Black
-Pearls
-Rouge
-Sunglasses
-That elegance...
-That "je ne sais quoi"...I think it's an inmortal elegance that some Parisian ladies have.
Double standards. When Nicole Kidman wore a similar coat she was criticised. When this Parisian lady wears it it's 'tres chic'
Hi Mom— I love you!
What a grace!
The green dress is amazing!
Bonjour,
Of course Paris, everyone is stylist in Paris. I love that fashion is individualistic there and not just copied from a fashion magazine.
Merci, Zoé
She is awesome.
the sushi on her left is just way to good and it's allways full of stylish ladys like this one
Would someone please show Imelda Marcos this picture?
It might help.
teehee. the verification word is "clapoon" what a cool sounding word. LOL
WOW, I love her.
The best example of a couture runway to reality.
I want to look like that not just at her age, but at any age. Tres Chic
Well frankly I'm tired of women wearing black opaques and heels like a uniform... so kudos to her! The coat makes it the outfit for sure.
maravilhosa!!!
I normally absolutely DETEST animal prints, and I swore I would NEVER wear them when I was, oh, about 12 years old. For me, leopard print has always 'older woman trying too hard' (that's before I knew of the word 'cougar')
That jacket has actually made me reconsider that vow. Briefly. But still!
As 40 year old embarking in a decade that will mean a lot of change, I like that you aren't just posting young things. It gives me hope.
She's bcbg.
I do not like the coat, but she is taking the risk and that's more important.
Hey, people, many older women cannot wear high heels!!!
The may have osteoporosis. Heels can be dangerous.
Sarto, congratulations, more posts about middle age and older women and men.
real cool picture, the lady is standing firm and the cars on the background are faded by the too strong sunlight!
I'm not a big fan of the ombre leopard print. Yes, she looks tres chic and elegant, but I wouldn't wear the jacket.

oh dear... she is so elegant but the coat is just a disaster.
Hello there,
She is Alicia Estrada, from Venezuela. Just google her...
Xoxo,
JRC.-
Karl Lagerfeld, your long-lost female twin, while separated at birth, has returned. She exudes the same timeless class to me I see in him.
Half woman, half cheetah? Watch out!
Covering the neck is a trick for older women - no matter how much care, the neck always gives away age. (See Nora Ephron's essay Why I Feel Bad About My Neck.)
davvero molto elegante...e la collana la rende ancora più chic!!
Una capa total. Saludos desde Buenos AIres.
I LOVE the coat. The black at the shoulders bleeds down into the animal print as if she is morphing into a jaguar. Really stunning.
amazing!!! she looks absolutely stunning!
that jacket is sooo filthy
its great!
that coat is truly amazing. she should be wearing khaki or lighter pants though.
