acting biggest business fear mean meet outfit somebody wear work
What you wear for work should be comfortable and empowering. If you're working in business, your outfit should mean business. If I go to meet somebody about an acting job, or something creative, then I'll be in my jeans. For me, overdressing is my biggest fear.
being-yourself children mean
We want to raise the children the parents aren't raising. I think we want to press individuality on people, though that doesn't necessarily mean being like us. But, it doesn't mean that if you come dressed like us that you aren't being yourself.
fashion giving-up mean
Ageing doesn't mean giving up on style and individuality; it doesn't mean abandoning fashion and living in comfy slippers and flannel knickers.
nice mean years
For me, getting older doesnt mean throwing away a favourite-coloured lipstick or a fabulous pair of boots; instead, its about harnessing all the great things I have learnt over the years about what does and doesnt suit me, and enjoying the way in which cleverly selected outfits can enhance the nice bits.
beautiful mean looks
Being a grown-up woman doesn't mean you can't look beautiful, individual and different.

M&S clothes just get better and better, year after year. I'm always begging for stuff from every shoot we do.
possible rule
My one big rule for the over-40s is don't try to dress like an 18-year-old. It's possible to be 'on-trend' when you're older - you just have to look for the right stuff. You don't have to spend a fortune, either.
buy copy elder fabric hated liked looked
My elder sister used to get the fashion magazines, and I would go through them and find things I liked and buy fabric and copy them. But I hated what I looked like. I mean, I was sooo skinny.
balance great key shape
The key with a full-skirt shape is to balance it out with a great figure-hugging top.
I was a very, very shy, insecure teenager.

I love Kate Moss. I've worked with her a couple of times, and she is a great girl, really funny and easy to work with.

Jamie Oliver's books are the best. I love Jamie. Bless him!
golden good looking
My golden rules for looking good are to moisturise to ridiculousness with a really rich moisturiser. And I always take my make-up off before going to bed.
bit days lines pull wisdom
I'm grateful for my lines of wisdom. Of course, there are days when I think: 'Oh my gawd, I look a bit tired.' But I can pull it together if I have to.
