Too Old to Wear Lingerie Trend?

Sure, it’s hot out. But does that give Katie Holmes and Rihanna the right to walk around in their unmentionables?

The lingerie trend is going strong in fashion. Sometimes — like the pictured Katie and Rihanna — the lingerie looks like, well, lingerie.

Other times — like in a recent Katy Perry appearance where she wore a gorgeous satin slip dress — it’s more subtle.

So the question is: What part of this underwear as outerwear trend should we touch over 40?

Most of us wouldn’t dream of walking around in just a bra or a slip, but what about pieces that are made to look like lingerie?

I think a touch, a suggestion, a hint of lingerie is pretty and feminine and ageless.

For example, a camisole with a lacy edge peeking out from another layer. Or a lace hem that’s made to look like a slip showing under a skirt.

What about you? Where should we draw the line at this age when it comes to the lingerie trend?

Miranda Kerr Slips Into Sexy Lingerie For Harper’s Bazaar UK Shoot (PHOTOS)

Miranda Kerr can make anything look sexy, as is evident in her recent photo spread in the August issue of Harper’s Bazaar UK.

Donning a bright red blazer and a racy peek-a-boo bra, the Aussie Victoria’s Secret angel, 29, channels her inner equestrian for the sexy shots.

Kerr gushes to the magazine about how she loved riding horses in the countryside as a kid, but admits she needs to get back in the saddle.

However, between her busy supermodel schedule and being a mom to Flynn Bloom and doting wife to Orlando Bloom, there’s not enough time left in the day.

Kerr admits it takes more than just good genes to look this good. The supermodel attributes her slim figure to hard work, an organic diet, and yoga, which she says she practiced throughout her pregnancy. “Since the baby I’ve amped up my Pilates routine, which is really good because you can focus on toning specific parts of your body,” she tells the magazine.

The supermodel also swears by Chakra exercises, a series of twists she does every morning to keep her waist whittled.  “Its a really good way to warm up your body and it only takes about 10 minutes,” she adds. “It helps get your waistline back after having a baby.”

And Kerr would know! The model mom, who gave birth to Flynn in January 2011, was ripped and ready for Paris Fashion Week just two months after giving birth. She debuted her post-baby bod on the Balenciaga catwalk, and has kept up appearances ever since.
