Dame Prue Leith swapped her Bake Off apron for a runway look as she made her catwalk debut at the age of 84. The Great British Bake Off presenter modelled a dress made from recycled waste from the King’s Sandringham estate at a fashion show in London.
The event, held by designers Vin and Omi to mark their 20th anniversary, showcased sustainable fashion. Dame Prue wore an ombre pastel pink dress and matching duster coat, paired with fuchsia lipstick and rainbow trainer laces, completed with her signature statement jewellery and cherry red glasses.
Speaking about her debut, Dame Prue said: “Wearing the right outfit that suits your shape and style and is carefree and comfy, can give you a real confidence boost, and a huge amount of pleasure.” The designers, known for their avant-garde style and sustainability advocacy, have previously worked with Debbie Harry and caught the attention of Beyonce, Michelle Obama and Lady Gaga.
Vin and Omi’s sustainable designs will be on display at The Great Hall in Sandringham until October 11.
