It's that time of year again - when London Fashion Week takes over the city and surprises us with unexpected runway appearances. And this year, the first surprise model to grace the catwalk was none other than beloved Great British Bake Off judge, Dame Prue Leith.
After winning over our hearts with her judging skills and delightful personality, the 84-year-old decided to switch things up and try her hand at modelling. And boy, did she make a statement at the Vin + Omi 20th Anniversary Show on Friday night.
Prue's new look was a far cry from her usual subtle and natural style. She donned a daring black leather dress with dominatrix-inspired slits and red laces, paired with long gloves of the same material. Her makeup was equally bold, with a black smokey eye and bright red lipstick, and her hair was styled in a dishevelled manner.
The designers, Vin and Omi, described their collection as a reflection of strength, determination, and nerve, and fittingly named it 'Moxie'. Before the show, they teased fashion lovers with promises of past and future works, eco developments, collaborations, and surprise guest models.
And surprise us they did, with Prue as one of their guest models. The chef herself had given a hint of her appearance on her Instagram story, posting a picture of her black sneakers and asking her followers to guess who she was changing her colourful laces for. She later shared videos of herself strutting down the runway, proving that she's willing to try anything once (or twice).
Fans of the show may not be too shocked by Prue's bold look, as she has been known to wear cheeky or controversial accessories on the show. One particular necklace that caught everyone's attention was during The Great Celebrity Bake Off: Stand Up To Cancer in March last year, which resembled a ball gag.
Prue addressed the necklace controversy during an appearance on Watch What Happens Live, where she joked about not knowing what a ball gag was until fans pointed it out. She also mentioned feeling obligated to wear similar necklaces now, to prove that she's not intimidated by people with "dirty minds" on Twitter.
