Dame Mary Berry, 89, once again wore a stunning 11-year-old sapphire blue silk gown at the National Television Awards (NTAs), proving that timeless style never gets old.
The former Bake Off judge wore a floor-length, high-waisted chiffon dress with a plunging neckline by independent label Damsel In A Dress.
The star accessorized the bright blue dress with a chunky, jeweled silver necklace and nude pointed-toe heels.
“I thought I wasn’t going to buy anything new because I don’t wear dresses every day,” Berry says. “I looked in my closet and thought it would be nice to wear it again.”
“It was 11 years ago and I’m a little bit smaller. My daughter-in-law designs wedding dresses and she just gave me a little bit of space so I wouldn’t trip as I went along.”
The piece was the same dress she wore to the 2013 NTAs, which garnered national attention and prompted many to purchase Kayleigh's dress online.
Dame Mary, whose new series Mary's Foolproof Dinners will premiere on BBC Two later this year, attended the NTAs to present the award for Best Television Pundit.
When Berry first wore the dress in 2013, she was presenting the award for Best Entertainment Program alongside her then-co-star, Paul Hollywood.
The piercing dress brought out Berry's blue eyes, giving Hollywood a run for its money.
Berry has long been a style icon of mature women's fashion, famous for her bold color choices and vibrantly patterned blazers.
Following her appearances on The Great British Bake Off, Berry single-handedly sparked a surge in sales of floral bomber jackets at Zara and rose-print blazers at Whistles.
Her bright and bold approach to fashion proves that even though we're getting older, it doesn't mean our wardrobe has to follow suit.
