At 72 she might be the oldest competitor in the show, but don't write off Betsey Johnson just yet.
The fashion designer showed that she's in Dancing With The Stars season 19 to win it as she flashed a victory sign on her way into rehearsal on Sunday.
The blonde was her usual funky self in a long-sleeved white top covered in hot pink sequins paired with a tiny black skirt.

She completed the look with knee-length leggings, red flats, a bright yellow purse decked out in keychains, and a brown belt.


Betsey highlighted her features with her usual heavy black eye shadow and red lipstick.


She was likely feeling jittery on Sunday, as season nineteen of the celebrity dancing competition reality show premieres on Monday.

She is paired with professional dancer Tony Dovolani, 41, whom she surprised on day one of rehearsals with her trademark cartwheel and splits.


Tony walked Betsey down the catwalk at the end of her fashion show on Wednesday and the duo did a little partner dance before she and her granddaughter performed her signature gymnastics moves.

Betsey has said of her dance partner: 'He is unbelievably great. Now I will really go in panic mode. I know the routine.


'I'm really good but I could forget in a second. Seventy-two-years-old. Grandma. It could just slip my mind, but I can't wait.'


Also pictured on Sunday was comedian Tommy Chong and his partner Peta Murgatroyd, and actress Janel Parrish and her partner Val Chmerkovskiy.
