Hi, The phrase 'updated retro' refers to an old-fashioned (ie retro) style that has been updated in some way to make it more appealing to modern people, eg a house with charming, old-fashioned design features but with modern wiring, plumbing, 2-car garage, etc. The phrase is often used for things like clothes and jewellery. I haven't seen it used for a person.
