To celebrate Paris Fashion Week, That's Not My Age looks to the 55-year-old French Vogue editor for tips on ageless style:
1. Show off your best bits
'When you are a woman you have to know what you have good, non? And you have to take advantage. I have two good things. Good legs and good eyes.'
2. Precious moments
'I say jewellery is better before 25 and after 60, and now 60 is not far off, I am allowed to wear again.'
3. Mix it up
'I do not like total look. I do not like conformist. I love white shoes in winter, white shoes with black tights, a black bra under a transparent top. I always take the opposite.'

I love her coat! Great tips. I'm the same eyes and legs. The jewellery after 60's interesting xx
I love, adore, cherish her style. She is fabulous!
I agree with her on the jewelry .... When a woman has a lot of self confidence, she really doesn't need it.
Great post!

I love Carine Roitfeld. She is one of my style icons. Chic, stylish and yes I agree Cote Provence....fabulous! I love this picture of her. Her outfit is to die for ! Great post TNMA !
Love the last tip about mixing it up, fully behind that one.
Jewellery before 25 and after 60? Get stuffed!
What's with the plaster on her right knee? xxx
Oh I love her! She always looks fabulous. But I'm with Vix on the jewellery!
She looks fab and great tips .. but I cant do the jewellery thing xx
I do agree completely with her.
Thank you for sharing.
Super post, as ever!!!

Thank you Carine. Will do.
Wild Thyme - oh you can always rely on The Sartorialist for a lovely photo.
Vix, Veshoevius & Wilderness - oh I agree about the jewellery, I love a pair of sparkly earrings! And yes, Vix I spotted the plaster on her knee - maybe it's a fashion statement?
I can't believe she's 55. I really love her style.
I do think that staying slim goes a long way to looking good, she has such a youthful looking body that looks great in clothes. I'm not sure that I'll be able to slim in my 50's, it too much of a struggle for me.
Hi there-she is a great style icon-great tips and post! Have a good weekend my dear!
She is amazing!!!
I do love Carine, but I think occasionally she gets it wrong and looks a little bit like she is trying too hard to look like the fabulous young model she once was...

The band-aid on her knee makes me love her even more . . .
