Duchess Of Alba Mixes Prints Like A Pro (PHOTOS)

Besides her poofy gray bob, Duchess of Alba has one fantastic style signature: patterned tights.

The 85-year-old duchess, who holds more royal titles than anyone in the world, hasn't let old age slow down her sense of fun. She's worn sheer tights with a mini floral pattern paired with a green and blue paisley dress, and has bravely donned turquoise lace tights to match her all-turquoise dress.

But her outfit this week takes the cake. Out shopping, presumably for Christmas, the duchess wore a leopard-print coat with a paisley dress in bold earth tones. On her legs? Black lace tights and patterned shoes.

Go big or go home, we suppose. Behold one of the most audacious instances of mixed prints we've ever seen.

The duchess is "Living life and breaking all the rules" a philosophy we all should live by!

At her age, with her money, she can wear anything she wants.

And for 85 years old, her legs aren't bad.

She's obviously loving life and doesn't give a d@mn what anyone thinks of her fashion sense.

Good for her.

I do not think it is right for HuffPo to make fun of this poor old homeless lady.

Well, at least she's consistent. Her taste in clothing goes well with the rest of her persona...

I just hope she didn't have to pay for that plastic surgery!

A warning to every woman who wants to be rich and have plastic surgery.

She looks like a lot of fun on a date, especially if she picks up the tab.

Her taste in clothes is as bad as her sense in picking a husband.

Oh I think this newest guy is good looking. He deserves a medal for waking up with her in the mornings though but then he always looks shell shocked to me.

At her age she can mix leopard and leather if she desires.

With HER money she can mix whatever she pleases.
