Far from evoking the 50s, I just meant well groomed relative to many travellers when in travel mode, similar age and gender to the purveyor of the basket. Nothing to do with age, size, gender. Unlike me, who could not have simply put on a uniform and passed for a FA, her makeup and hair would have been straight from FA grooming requirements in a major airline. I did not say I thought she was a colleague because I had no evidence for that. I did have a visual impression of precisely what I said and you can infer that maybe she was off-duty FA, or sister of FA, or whatever you like.
