Erin Molan fires up over 'inappropriate' outfit comments
"I wear what I feel like, what I feel good in, what makes me feel amazing."
Erin Molan hit out against criticism that she dresses âinappropriatelyâ for her age during a segment on her 2DayFM radio show Hughesy, Ed and Erin on Thursday.
The presenter called out the ânegative attitudeâ towards women in their 40s or older, calling the comments "ridiculous".
"There's this whole, kind of, group now and I know that they're celebrities and I know they've got help," she said. "But sorry, being 50 now is like being 30, 20 â 50 years ago. Women look amazing, we are not old when we are 30, 40, 50, 60."
Erin used Nicole Kidman, Jennifer Lopez and Nicole Scherzinger as examples of women in their 50s and 40s who look incredible and can wear "bikinis" and "cut-outs".

"What about Elsa Pataky ⊠she is 46 and looks incredible, I shouldnât even say that sheâs 46 and looks incredible but of course she does, 46 is just a baby."
"Iâm 39 and I get comments like, âAre you trying to look young?â" she shared. "No sorry, I wear what I feel like, what I feel good in, what makes me feel amazing in a world thatâs constantly trying to make all of us feel completely [sh*t] about ourselves.
"So, wear what you want, dress how you want, if you look amazing, great, if you look not so amazing, great! If you feel amazing, great! Who cares?" Erin continued, encouraging listeners to stop making judgemental comments. "Stop the judgement! Who cares? Feel good, wear what you like, wear a little cut-out, midriff, thong if you want when you're 90, who cares!"
