Enter our Snapshots of Summer photography competition

What is your favourite item in your wardrobe and why? The white cotton shirt because it is snappy and seductive at the same time.
What is your fall-back outfit? A wonderful black dress is easy to wear; you can dress it up with a great belt or patent shoes.
What is your one piece of fashion or beauty advice? Long hair after 40 is out in my book as it looks too messy and too young. Women need to learn how to age gracefully.
What aspect of fashion do you dislike? The enormous egos in this industry.
If you could steal anyone's style, who would it be? It would have to be Rose Bertin, the woman responsible for Marie Antoniette's wardrobe. Think of the fun you could have with the clothes she made. She changed the fashion every week.
If you could change one part of your body, which would it be? My hands, definitely; I'd love longer fingers.
What are your five desert island staples? A good book, wild flowers, lipstick, sun screen and a ticket to get me out of there as soon as possible.
What is a Day in the Fashion Life of Carolina Herrera? I'm fortunate in that no day is ever the same; which means that I wear a variety of things, from my white shirts, which can be mixed with skirts or trousers, to a little sweater.

Short hair after 40? definetely yes, Short hair looks definetely more classy and elegant (with a good hairdresser of course!)There is so many girls with bad long hair! Most of them keep them long for their man... grow up girl!

Are you kidding? Good grief! Carolina, This is the stuff that makes women feel bad about themselves & what They like.The stupidity of not wearing white after Labor Day was Rule for decades. Ridiculous to let age define you! If you have good taste, you do; if not, you don't = Many bad short haircuts.
Samantha, Austin, USA
Short hair after 40? Yes. Most women's hair thins after menopause and it if one starts with fine hair to begin with...it is a mess when it is long. Catherine Deneuve, Demi Moore etc all have very thick hair to begin with...lucky girls.
KNeval, Denver, CO, USA
..and Demi Moore and Oprah and Nicole Kidman and Elizabeth Hurley and Caroline Kennedy... is she serious about the hair thing???
Susan, Seattle,
I totally agree with the hair advice.
Here in Paris a lot of women over 40 have kept their long hair, and while you can see it probably looked great when they were younger it now looks a mess.
A decent shorter cut would look so much nicer, and more normal!
Nick M, St Ouen, France
No long hair after 40!! Carolina es muy loca. Look at Catherine Deneuve.
