Vivian Chow, 58, Mocked For Dressing “Too Young” — Is There Really An Age Limit To What You Can Wear?

Vivian Chow has been known for her sweet, feminine image ever since she entered showbiz four decades ago.

Now 58, the Hong Kong singer still sports her signature long locks and favours the same girlish style she has been known for over the years.

Back in the ’90s, Vivian’s beauty and squeaky-clean image famously earned her the nickname “Leader of the Jade Girl Sect”.

But apparently, some people think there should be an expiry date on that look.

Recent photos of Vivian have been making the rounds online, with the star seen wearing a white jacket and scarf over a long, flowy pink dress.

While there was nothing particularly outrageous about the outfit, some took issue with her youthful, princessy look, saying it was too young for someone her age.

They accused her of “refusing to grow old” and “insisting on dressing like a young girl”.

“Once you're old, you should accept reality. Why dress like this?” read one comment.

Another wrote: “She might look better if she cut her hair. Why force yourself to dress like a young girl?”

There were also unkind remarks about Vivian's appearance, with some pointing out her laugh lines and tired appearance in the pics.

Some even wondered if the photos had been deliberately altered with AI because she looked so different from her usual polished appearances.

But the criticism over Vivian's outfit also had many netizens asking: Since when did clothes come with an age limit?

“Is a 58-year-old not allowed to wear pink? Must you be a young girl to wear it?” questioned one.

A fan defended Vivian with: “As long as what she's wearing isn't against the law, it's a matter of personal taste. Does what you wear outside have to meet society's expectations for your age? It's her freedom to choose. If you don't like it, don't look!”

Another wondered what the critics expected of Vivian: “She likes dressing this way and it’s not even ugly. How do you expect her to dress then?”

And perhaps the most pertinent question of all: “Does turning 60 mean you have to dress like a granny?”

We say wear whatever you like, Vivian.
