English term

a statuesque-grey-haired-woman, Columbo style mackintosh raincoat

English to Italian Art/Literary General / Conversation / Greetings / Letters love story
I can't find an equivalent for these expressions in Italian: a statuesque-grey-haired-woman (una donna "slanciata" dai capelli grigi),
Columbo style mackintosh raincoat ("un impermeabile beige allo stile detective Colombo". Is this a well-known series in Italy? Any equivalent?)

Here is the extract:
In the shadowy depths of the bookshop, a statuesque-grey-haired-woman, wearing a Columbo-style-mackintosh raincoat, the collar turned up and oversized sunglasses, is acting very suspiciously over by Great Britain.

Thanks.

donna statuaria dai capelli grigi

Credo che dovresti aprire un'altra domanda

Cmq direi "impermeabile alla tenente Colombo", che era molto famoso anche in Italia
