There have been threads about her before. I think she's lovely. I'm 65 and think she looks older than 63.

@muttmom

She must be very tall and thin, and wear clothes very well. I am 16 years older than she is and I think she looks older than me in the face.

However, I am only 5'3", thin, but not a model's body, and I think that counts the most.

There is another beautiful model around her age, but she looks much, much younger. I can't remember her name right now, but she has a successful cosmetics line.

Did I misread it? I thought I saw 63. She's elegant and looks like a model or someone in fashion. But I'd cry for days if I looked like her at just 63. Maybe she was a sun worhipper for much or her life and damaged her skin. She looks like she's 80.

Lucky gal, but the clothes are hideous!

Her style is avant garde but she doesn't dress like an avant garde teenager. She's interesting to look at and has a great figure for clothes.

I thought 60 was the new 40! Granted Lyn is edgy and takes fashion risks, but she looks like she could be well into her 70s.

From a color perspective, she looks best in the first photo with a nude lip and pastel dress. Her bright red lips and black clothing are far too harsh and really do age her.

If she's 63 I'm 50.

And 50 was so long ago I don't even remember it.

@emmysmom

Thanks for sharing!

I had not been keeping up.

I agree, IRL, The Accidental Icon looks better in softer colors. She is very thin and very short.

She is done up (her hair) by a professional hair stylist that is on the set.

I had only ever seen her without her iconic sunglasses in one picture. Pretty eyes!

She wears clothes extremely well but no way does she look 63. I would have guessed her to be at the very least, 15 years older.

Think she shaved off a few (?) years.

She looks like she shaved off 20 years.

I agree with you ...

I'm going to be 75 very soon ... she looks older than I do!

I do love it when someone has a defined sense of style that seems "organic" to them, whatever the age.

She obviously has a sense of drama, reminiscent a bit of Iris Apfel. I also like her in the softer shades-- she has a more 'gentle" coloring that I think is compatible with those colors.

Another one who has never remotely dressed like women around her is Diane Keaton.

Style mavericks like this are fun to watch.

I don't really understand why she looks older than 63. She's not wrinkly or saggy. Is it the harsh colors and/ or the hair?

I agree that she looks older I just don't know why

Re: Wow! What a Style Icon!

She looks great in her clothing but I'm 64 years old and I've never had anything done to my face and I think she looks at least 75.

@Andreatoo,With the wrinkles around the mouth and chin, I can see it. I've seen a lot of women who were actually older and looked much, much better.

I've seen the model she's been confused with. Probably what added to the confusion is she's probably ultra thin.
