Self-professed Top Gun fan and pilot Carol Vorderman wowed onlookers as she arrived to the Top Gun: Maverick premiere in Leicester Square in a very unique red carpet get-up. The 61-year-old Countdown Whizz, who partially resides in Clifton, looked the part at last night's premiere (May 19) in a khaki green flight suit.
Eyes are always on Carol when she arrives at red carpet events, as she usually looks very glamorous in an evening gown. Despite not donning the usual red carpet attire, Carol still looked incredible as she paid homage to the original Top Gun film, which came out nearly four decades ago.
Carol's decision to wear the gorgeous khaki number was influenced by her own love of flying. From a young age, Carol wanted to become an RAF fighter pilot, but the fact that women were unable to join the RAF when she was old enough to join stopped her from following her dreams.
