Yasmin Le Bon

WHAT SHE TAUGHT US ABOUT CAREER… “The big thing I’ve learned is that humility and that kindness rules. We can make so much drama out of life and sometimes drama is fun, but I feel that often it leads to more sinister things. It’s about love and patience with everybody.”

WHAT SHE TAUGHT US ABOUT HEALTH…It’s what you put into your system. “That has a more long-term

effect than beauty products and I think it helps balance you out. I’ve been taking Lumity anti-ageing supplement. You wouldn’t believe how I feel about myself and life in general. The way you feel will affect the way you look.”

WHAT SHE TAUGHT US ABOUT STYLE…Move with the times. “I am more

adventurous, the older I get. But I always was from years of dressing in vintage clothes. However I dress, there has to be something a little bit rock and roll, like a leather cuff, something that makes me feel like I’m not perfect.”

WHAT SHE TAUGHT US ABOUT LOVE…After 30 years of marriage to Duran Duran singer Simon Le Bon, her secret to marital bliss is taking it one day at a time. “I think you become best friends, who you want to share every laugh and moment with. We don’t always get to do that, and that’s part of the beauty – we have our own lives, but we’re a team. But I try hard every day to not live so far ahead as I believe it’s the road

to ruin.”

BET YOU DIDN’T KNOW… Le Bon has a weakness for accents. “I have a really highly inappropriate appropriation of accents. I love the Irish accent. I try desperately not to take other people’s accents on when I’m speaking to them but I can’t help it.”

WHAT SHE TAUGHT US ABOUT FAMILY...To let your children fi nd their own way in life but be there when they need you. “I’ve let them all fi nd

their own path but in reality I’ve got a big mouth and I don’t stop talking.

Things just trip out of my mouth and I can’t help it, because I love and adore them. But they are their own people and they can always come to me.”

WHAT SHE TAUGHT US ABOUT BEAUTY...Imperfection is beautiful.

“I’ve always got wet, scruffy hair in a bun or my

nails not done. There’s always something not perfect. That’s the thing that keeps me feeling vibrant. It’s endearing, when

you’re too busy living life to be perfect.”
