- November 23, 2009
As we age, we begin to feel less and less attractive, especially for the women who have passed the 60 mark. This episode of How to Look Good Naked (UK) tackles the issue of feeling sexy over 60. To explore, the show invites three women, Karen, Ann, and Sylvia, who feel insecure about their bodies and have lost confidence in their physical appearance.
Karen is a busy grandmother who rarely gets the time to focus on herself. However, she still wants to feel that she can look and feel glamorous and attractive for her husband. Ann has been married for over 40 years and is still in love with her husband, but feels that her body has betrayed her and now wants to feel desirable again. Sylvia was a model in the '60s and now runs her own fashion business. But despite her career, she still feels nervous about her body.
The show's host, Gok Wan, meets each of them to help them understand that they are beautiful and worthy of feeling sexy. He begins by challenging them to be more playful with clothes and experiment with styles and colors that are out of their comfort zones. After trying different clothes and accessories, they are entrusted to bring out their glamorous personalities, which they all embrace wholeheartedly. They also try out different types of lingerie that better fit and flatter their bodies.
To help them embrace their bodies, Gok also partners them with a body-positive artist, Tatyana, who teaches them to see themselves in a different light. With Tatyana's help, the ladies make some beautiful artwork of their bodies that provides them with fresh insights into how beautiful and unique they are.
In an attempt to help these women connect with their new, confident selves, Gok also invites them to an exclusive photo shoot, where they each get to showcase themselves to the world as the sexy and confident women they are. With the help of some professional makeup experts, photographers, and stylists, the women get to capture the confidence and self-love that they have discovered during their journey throughout the episode.
In the end, the three ladies leave with newfound confidence, embracing who they are and learning to appreciate their bodies even more. The episode ends with a touching moment where they share their stories with others and encourage others to also embrace themselves and their bodies.
