Accidental Icon: 64 Year-Old Fordham Professor Becomes A Fashion Star | NBC Nightly News 

Your first sentence was extremely rude.

@@adelinenicholas7075 seriously rude!!! Like who cares how your mom looks? This isnt about you?

@@sambrownsings you're a guy. You wouldn't understand.

@@adelinenicholas7075 I'm agreeing with you gurl

@@sambrownsings OOO I like the gurl stuff!! I'm going to be 63.

Well, professors tend to wrinkle more, because of the tension

There has recently been a couple other news show clips highlighting fashion “icons” dressing great but most of all had this fabulous attitude. The difference in the other cases was the fashion was all created from a budget, including thrift stores.

You just don’t like the fact that a 64-year-old doesn’t mind having gray hair and looking her age. I think she’s terrific!

I agree she does look older than 64 and not because of her gray hair. Her skin is more akin to an older woman.

@@joniheisenberg6691 Yes. I guessed mid/ late 70s. Not that she GAF & though I’m happy she hasn’t had obvious face lift/ plastic surgery- early/ mid 60s looks a lot younger than that nowadays, if you take good care of your skin.

Rachel Zoe has the same face re the ageing ... Around the mouth - thinking she is older than stated; either way - who cares ... Lyn is stunning & supremely stylish - as is her much younger counter-part, Rachel Zoe - both style ICONS!

Seriously?? Is it possible that we've become so brainwashed by youth and plastic surgery in beauty industry and pop culture that we no longer know what a typical woman in her 60's looks like? I think saying she looks like she's in her 80's is a bit exaggerated.

I love her style. I'm 60 and don't look nearly as old and many say I look 10 years younger, plus I have a couple of friends who are older than or the same age as she is and look their age or younger than she does and have not had any "work" done. What I will say is I believe her very slim frame adds to making her look older as it makes the skin sag and droop. I'm an avid gym goer & a healthy weight, however, I'm not trying to be 120 lbs. like I was in my 20s and 30s. As we age, sagging skin is always a problem and when one is too thin the skin has nothing to "hold on too" and will sag off the bones. Many of the gym instructors have said the same thing in private to some of us!! That having a little extra weight after a certain age is not a bad thing if you want to look fitter and younger as long as it's not so much weight that it becomes unhealthy! I'm 5'4" and went from 172 lbs. to 150 lbs. a few years ago and at 172 I looked younger, but I look good at 150 as well and don't want to lose anymore weight. There's a few over 50 women who weigh 120 or less and they look way older even tho they are slimmer. No thanks!! I've seen it at my gym with older women who do work out and are very slim who seem to look older than the ones who are not super slim yet do work out and look a bit tighter and firmer. It's weird but it's true.

If she looks “80” she dresses a whole lot better than me and I’m in my 50s. Her style is immense.

I agree as I said I LOVE her style, however, she is very thin and sometimes as we age being super thin isn't a great look and makes one look older. My son's g/f's mom is her age and she looks waaaaaay younger and isn't as slim as her. As I said above, better to weigh a few more lbs. after a certain age, and not have such saggy skin on her face (especially around her mouth), jowls and neck. My mom had less wrinkles on her face at 78 than this woman does at 64. She looks like she's 74 in the face, 10 years older in my opinion.

@rtp1968: So what? It just proves her point, don't stay in the box. More power to her.

Comeon' can't a girl lie about her age anymore?

Shes definitely much older than 64...in her 80s. You can tell by how she moves. Slowly

she probably lied about her age

I thought it was, she started at 64... facebook.com/BuzzFeedNews/videos/1778513792169631/

Black don't crack, lol. My good friend who is 72 is black and still looks the same as she did when she was 50!!!!

Susan Sims More like 74!

Rita G : I was thinking more like 80👵🏻

Shes in her 80s. Talks and walks like it

If this is what 84 looks like, I hope I look this good at that age.

Stephen Collins so what , we should respect age , we all are going to get old.

Stephen Collins again lear respect she tiny and beautiful

Well, professor, deadlines, papers, overtiming hmm
