Posting to her Instagram on Tuesday, the beauty entrepreneur, 60, shared a video of herself trying to style a sheer co-ord from Zara to her 1.3 million followers.
Posing in some nude coloured underwear, she then tried on different outfits in trying to style the pieces.
She said: ‘I’m obsessed with trying to wear this, it’s super sheer and I’ve always been scared of sheer.

‘I’ve got some neutral underwear on so I am going to try it first with that and see how many different ways I can style it up.’
The post received thousands comments shortly after she posted the video, with many negatively commenting on the outfit and her slender figure.
Hitting back at the comments, Trinny told people to unfollow her if they didn’t like her content, saying she had been ‘shocked’ by the response.
She took to her Instagram to say: ‘I got home last night from the office and read a lot of comments about yesterday’s post, I’ll put them into two categories.
‘One is people who just said what are you wearing it doesn’t suit you, which is fine, because I want you to have an opinion about whether you like it or not, but it became quite personal.
‘There was a little bit about my body and since I went into menopause at 45 and had a mum who wasn’t particularly well when she was older, it has made me very determined to not let menopause defeat me and feel my strongest self.
‘My mum had osteoporosis and didn’t exercise much when she was older and had a lack of mobility. She loved sugar and she also had vascular dementia and Alzheimer’s – I really want to look after my body so it can look after me.’
She added: ‘So for all of those who made it about weight and how unrelatable you feel I am for you then move on because it doesn’t make you happy.

Trinny continued: ‘I found it really unkind yesterday and really unnecessary. And I usually don’t say anything but I thought no I’m going to damn well say something’
‘I have gone on a journey on the last few years where I really want to be well. I want to be fit, I want to be strong, I want to challenge the norm of what can happen during menopause and post.
‘And I want my body to really look after me so I really look after it. So to see comments on my body, it’s my choice what I do.’
Trinny continued: ‘I found it really unkind yesterday and really unnecessary. And I usually don’t say anything but I thought no I’m going to damn well say something.
‘What is going on your life that you feel the need to aggressively criticise people?. Because I know for me when I am in that situation and I would never do it in a public arena ever. But if I were doing that, it’s because I’m full of fear on something.
‘So I’m going to challenge those people to ask themselves why you feel comfortable doing that?’
She added: ‘If you aren’t happy with my content just unfollow and move on to somebody who can make you happy.’
Trinny started her career in fashion 1996 when she started writing a weekly style guide for The Telegraph called Ready to Wear.
