Anger about look, being covered in powder (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

floury

'covered in powder' is the definition.

'anger about look' is the wordplay.
'anger' becomes 'fury' (fury is a kind of anger).
'about' is an insertion indicator.
'look' becomes 'lo'.
'fury' enclosing 'lo' is 'FLOURY'.

'being' is the link.

(Another definition for floury that I've seen is " Slightly crumbly (pastry); starchy (potatoes)".)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
