79-year-old Ajda Pekkan opened the Harbiye season with her golden costume and unrelenting energy.

79-year-old superstar Ajda Pekkan, who held her first concert of 2025 at Harbiye Open-Air Theatre last night, once again amazed her fans with her energy that defies the years. Not only known for her ever-increasing stage energy each year but also for her dynamism that puts younger artists to shame, Pekkan was the talk of the town this time not only for her voice but also for her bold stage costume.
The legendary name of Turkish pop music presented a visual and musical feast to thousands of people filling the Harbiye Cemil Topuzlu Open-Air Theatre. Appearing on stage in a completely gold-colored, metallic, and glittering costume, Pekkan showcased an exaggerated look this time, differing from the simple and noble lines she preferred in previous years. The costume, designed in a corset form at the chest and featuring a voluminous draped skirt, created a theatrical atmosphere with its elegant shoulder details and flashy gold mask.
Pekkan's extraordinary costume became a topic of discussion on social media, being compared to Bülent Ersoy's stage style. Many users commented, "Ajda has reached the peak of exaggeration this time." The superstar, who also delivered an impressive performance musically, maintained her tempo throughout the concert with a rich repertoire spanning from the 70s to the present. Expressing her attachment to Harbiye with the words, "I feel excited every time I am on this stage," Ajda Pekkan was applauded for minutes at the end of the night.
