Great British Bake Off's Prue Leith 'unrecognisable' in leather dominatrix dress

Great British Bake Off judge Dame Prue Leith turned heads with a bold ensemble as she sashayed down the runway at London Fashion Week. The 84-year-old culinary icon surprised attendees by appearing as a guest model in the Vin + Omi show.

She confidently took to the catwalk in a provocative black leather number featuring slits from the hem to the nipples, held together with striking red dominatrix-style lacing. The daring design was matched with sleek elbow-length gloves of the same shiny material.

Dame Prue looked every bit the temptress, playing up to the crowd with her dramatic smokey eye makeup, a wild hairdo, and brilliant red lips. The fashion duo Vin and Omi heralded the collection as Moxie, embodying the essence of "force of character, determination, or nerve".

Bake Off viewer are already alert to the TV personality's penchant for daring outfits. On the Channel 4 show, she has previously turned heads with her choice of jewellery.

Grilled by host Andy Cohen on Watch What Happens Live in the USA last year, her sartorial choices became a talking point when he displayed an image of her donning what appeared to be a ball gag necklace and remarked: "Well, I mean, that does look like a ball gag... Do you know what a ball gag is? ".

Without missing a beat, she retorted: "Well, I do now, only because of the furore about that necklace." She continued: "I mean, I just think it's such nonsense... I don't want to be intimidated by lots of chaps on Twitter who've got dirty minds."
