What if your best chapter is still ahead of you? Welcome to Who Are You (Wearing?), the fashion podcast that's not really about clothes. Hosted by Scottish presenter, journalist and producer Alice Cruickshank, this celebrity, showbiz, arts and culture interview series uses fashion as a lens to explore identity, ambition, creativity and the moments that shape us. This week, Alice is joined by Glamour Gran Ann (Ann Marie Harper), Scotland’s oldest beauty queen, who made history this year by winning Miss Great Britain Classic Ayrshire 2026, then becoming the oldest contestant in her category at Miss Great Britain finals. With tens of thousands of followers across her social platforms, Ann has built a loyal community through her openness, infectious joy and unapologetically glamorous personal style. But behind the sparkle is a powerful story of resilience, reinvention and finding purpose. Ann tells Alice why she's using her Miss GB crown to challenge perceptions of ageing and show that older people can achieve anything they set their minds to. She shares some brilliant life advice on never giving up, believing in yourself and why it's never too late to try something new. Growing up in the Gorbals in Glasgow, Ann was told she was stupid and wouldn't amount to anything. She reflects on how she found her way into the beauty industry, working as a make-up artist, and the special moment at a P Louise make-up launch that inspired her to create her own eyeshadow palette - and helped her discover a deeper purpose in using beauty to help others. Ann also speaks with honesty and openness about her own experiences of mental illness, the importance of tackling loneliness and isolation through her work with Scottish charity CLASP, and why we should all lead with a little more kindness. After all, we never really know what someone else is going through. And, of course, there's plenty of fashion chat! Alice and Ann bond over their shared love of bold, vibrant outfits, statement looks and a healthy amount of sparkle. This is a truly uplifting conversation about confidence, beauty, resilience, finding your purpose and refusing to let anyone else decide what you're capable of.
