Yasmin le Très Bon

Duran Duran, yasmin le bon

I have decided that Yasmin Le Bon is Beatle-wife-gold-standard. Of course it helps that she’s impossibly beautiful and wealthy, but she seems really sweet in the interviews I’ve seen. Strong but feminine, and goofy enough that you don’t hate her for being impossibly beautiful and the wife of a Duran. She still looks incredible, and I love the colour of her dress here at the British Fashion Awards.

(She’s also wearing FAUX fur, FAUX fur – yes I’m glaring at a photo of Mrs John Taylor, Gela Nash, in a huge REAL fur jacket at the launch of the latest Juicy Tat Couture launch. Naughty Duran wife, naughty!!)

I’m sure it’s a modern take on a Thirties-style evening gown, but this is proper glamour. Some of the other people on the red carpet that night would do well to take heed. Black tights and smock mini dresses are adorable, but they’re not red carpet. They’ll also be dated within a year. In fact, I thought they already were? Anyway, this is how you work it…..

    Wendy, you’ve reminded me of how long it’s been since I watched AbFab. Must rectify this immediately!Sharon Rose (the real one I hope!) – you’re right! If she wasn’t so sweet and lovely, I’d have to hate her. 😉

    Yay Yas! Booooo Hisssss Gela! Am trying to get into the panto spirit here….and I’m now awarding Maddy platinum standard Duran girl status. Just to make her higher than Yasmin and because I’m competitive. 😉 😉 Seriously though, can Maddy aquire gold status too even though she left him, because she had very good reason and was utterly perfect?Now, Gisella has to be gold too. TPT can be bronze. Oooh, it’s like the Duran girl olympics!Am very distracted away from the dress here aren’t I? She was leagues ahead of the others with that outfit, but then she always is. She launched something recently when she’d just had her fringe cut and her outfit was fabulously stylish yet very daywear. But at the same time she looked alarmingly like TPT. It freaked me out:http://www.yasminlebon.net/news/westfield6.jpgThis is my current fave rave Yasmin quote:”My most recent acquisition is this beautiful pair of Manolo Blahniks. It was a gift to myself for Simon’s birthday. I convinced him that gifting myself a shoe for his birthday bash was a great present.”Now that is impressive.
