Elon who? Let’s talk about his mum, Maye Musk – the 70-something and influencer – instead

Elon Musk has bought Twitter for 44 billion US dollars. But I’m more interested in his influencer mum Maye and her grandiose 70-plus style

Curtain-up for Maye Musk

1. Fashion knows no age limit

Pastel power suits, breezy maxi dresses, bucket hats or head-to-toe leather – Maye wears what she likes. After all, current trends aren’t the preserve of one specific age group. No. Even if you’re 52, 67 or over 70, you’re allowed to throw on whatever makes you feel good.

2. Colour is still allowed – even desirable

Once we hit a certain age, dull colours have a habit of sneaking into our wardrobes, levelling off the colour spectrum at demure blacks, greys and beiges. Whatever happened to sky blue? Or hot pink? Lemon yellow or «Very Peri» purple? Don’t banish your favourite colours from your life just because your 20s and 30s are long gone.

3. Casual works too

Comfort, however, doesn’t have to go out the window. But that doesn’t necessarily mean reaching for the baggy sweatpants that we’ve been wearing for the last two years, happy as pigs in muck. Maye Musk demonstrates how cool yet chic a simple long-sleeved top and dungarees can be. Didn’t have combos like these on your radar until now? That’s exactly my point. Twitter may have lost its soul to Elon Musk, but Instagram has gained heart with Maye Musk.
