My style has ‘nothing to do with age’

Babs has spoken.

Barbra Streisand, 81, said in a recent chat with the New York Times that everyone should dress how they want — regardless of their age.

“People should express themselves and wear whatever they feel on any given day,” she said.

Streisand then noted how her own style has “nothing to do with age” and that there have been times in her decadeslong career that she didn’t want to be sexy.

“I was too afraid to be seen that way at that time. Now I’m too old to care,” she said.

The singer has been in Tinseltown since the 1960s, appearing in hit films such as “Funny Girl” and “What’s Up, Doc?”, and has sold more than 150 million records worldwide.

However, she admitted recently that making movies is now too tiring for her.

“It gets exhausting, trying to come up with the structure of the movie and then have it not happen,” she told People earlier this month.

The New York native joked: “I had many movies that I wanted to make, and then I get lazy.”

“I go, ‘Oh yeah, to do this one, I have to have all these fittings for period clothes. This one, I’d have to live in Arkansas to do this one.’ I don’t know. It’s complicated, but I am complicated, I guess … I get lazy,” she went on.

In her newly-published autobiography, “My Name Is Barbra,” she also revealed that if she had continued making films, she never would have written the book.

“If I could have made my movies, I never would’ve written a book,” the “Hello, Dolly!” star writes. “I had such good movies to make, meaning they were about things I cared about, very interesting subjects.”

The 970-page book is full of anecdotes drawn from Streisand’s life and career.

She narrates the 48-hour audiobook version, too.

The memoir took the “Don’t Rain on My Parade” singer a decade to write, while the audiobook took six weeks to complete.

“I think, to do the audiobook, I was so sick of myself — can you imagine? I mean, you write a book for 10 years, then you’ve gotta say it out loud,” she said to Variety last month.

“I haven’t even had the time to play back the audiobook, which was easier for me to do than write a book. And because I could change the language, it’s not exactly like the book.”
