Vivica A. Fox stepped out for a night of revelry at Greystone Manor a few days back in a delectably form fitting, thigh skimming mini dress by Michael Costello. While your thought Ms. Fox looked hot, screaming your voices of dissension were loud and clear about her dress.
Ms. Fox is 50 and fabulous, and honestly looks better than some of her contemporaries. The same could be said for serial mini skirt supporter Jennifer Lopez, who at 45-years-old, has not let age stop her from showing off her toned legs, absolutely stunning from the stands she makes the curves brought by her short skirt, making every men drooled insanely around her body.
42-year-old Cameron Diaz loves a mini red carpet moment looks stunning with this detail short skirt with stunning long sleeves draping its curves in sexy vintage vixen.
As does 42-year-old Tracee Ellis Ross, who rocked a high thigh hitting romper in a red carpet gathering, showing that ages doesn't matter in wearing skirt, flaunting its sexiness even at her age.
And though an extreme example, 56-year-old Madonna rarely even wears pants at all, a surely open minded artist shows off her glamorous looks with this sexy short skirt, uniquely impressing everyone that at her age she can still have the "Queen" tag, smoking with hot style and figure.
Quite a few factors make these women exceptions to the rule: they’re famous, and here to entertain, so they get a sartorial pass in most cases. Also, these ladies look ah-mazing for their age. If you’re 40+, yet have the body of a twenty something, why not show it off?
I also think it comes down to fit. Perhaps Auntie Viv’s dress was a bit
on the tight and short side, and could’ve used a little more fabric. But
if the proportions are more forgiving, then why can’t a woman of a
certain age wear a short skirt?
I’m personally slightly conservative, raised by somewhat strict parents (My Dad once told me I
was too old to wear short skirts, and I’m in my 30’s! He crazy), but I
say that if you got it, and it looks tasteful and classy, flaunt it. You
only live once.
