Admired appearance due for revamp: read on! (6,2,2)

I believe the answer is:

looked up to

'admired' is the definition.
('look up to' can be a synonym of 'admire')

'appearance due for revamp read on' is the wordplay.
'appearance' becomes 'look' (look is a kind of appearance).
'for revamp' is an anagram indicator (letters redesigned or revamped).
'read on' becomes 'PTO' (short for please turn over).
'due' anagrammed gives 'edu'.
'look'+'edu'+'pto'='LOOKED UP TO'

I've seen this clue in The Times.
