Sha-ZAM!
What a treat it must have been to run into such a fabulous character! Although her outfit is impressive, one has to admit that that the best (and most sparkling) part of her look is her smile.

Man - I want her paycheque to afford this look. She looks good but a little unapproachable.

This is fantastic, a classic ageless beauty, with a great sense of style with a twist. I really like her white shirt, and bold white statement necklace!

Who has this much time to look this fantastic?? Wonderful ensemble. Powerful and masculine, yet delightful feminine touches with the chunky pearls and silver sandals. Bravo!

Those are my shoes! I bought them in Paris a couple of months ago. Wear them all the time. Hope I look that good at her age!
