Jasmin Le Bon Reveals Her Style At Any Age Hacks

As she candidly shares her "style at any age" hacks, it's clear that her sartorial confidence comes from a place of authenticity, not perfection. From navigating her changing body to raiding her daughters' closets, Le Bon proves that true style is less about following trends and more about a joyful, fearless approach to dressing.

Play to your strengths

I'm really good at my job when I'm working, but I'm terrible when I'm not working. As far as I'm concerned, anything that isn't a proper photo-shoot isn't working. I am unphotogenic and can't do holiday snaps or red carpet.

"Look at your strong points, and what you're proud of, and focus on those. I just deflect everything with an enormous grin because I always feel like an idiot when someone points a camera at me.

Embrace your choices

I've always loved clothes and designers. I used to buy Vogue when I was 13. The great thing about fashion is that you don't have to wear the same thing every day - that's the beauty of it, the whole psychology of deciding that you want to be someone else today.

"It's those tiny innate decisions about whether you put on a pair of trousers or a body-con dress that give you a different perspective. As women, we have so much choice, I do feel sorry for guys, having to wear trousers every day. Saying that, I'm not about to start sharing any of my frocks with Simon.

Wear what you feel happy in

I never know what to wear, I get it really wrong. But I dress for myself. I think you've got to do it with confidence. I don't really care about fitting in, because I've never really fitted in anyway. If you love something, you should go with it.

Roll with the changes

My body has changed so much, which has really had an effect on my decisions. I have boobs for the first time, which is quite an extraordinary thing to deal with. It's happened over the past five years. It's really strange.

I spent my life quite happily looking like a boy, but certain necklines don't work on me now. I love looking quite masculine and androgynous, but it's becoming harder!

Keep to your favourites

I am completely obsessed with two pairs of shoes. One is a pair of Chanel slingbacks that have a really sensible inch-high heel. Oh my God, they are so gorgeous. The other ones are my white fridge-freezers by Céline. They look like I've got a pair of chest freezers on my feet. They're so ugly, but I love them.

I end up buying something from Christopher Kane every season, and I've got a lot of Preen, I can't stop buying it. They do the easiest things to wear, which make you feel great. Their formula works rather well.

Sharing is caring

My wardrobe gets raided a fair amount by Amber. I did try to remind her the other day that she needs to invest a lot more, because this sharing thing should be a two-way street. But we all cross over. My daughter Saffron and I both went into American Apparel the other day and bought the same jumper in different colours.

Avoid asking difficult questions

I never ask any of the children or Simon what they think of how I look before leaving the house. Being family, they're far too honest. I've learnt the hard way. And Simon's only opinion is that I look lovely. He knows that whatever he says, I will do entirely the opposite thing. He's worked that out.

A great coat can conceal anything

There's nothing wrong with going to the airport in your pyjamas. I have done, many times, quite happily. At JFK airport in New York once, I was going on a night flight and turned up wearing men's ones from Charvet in Paris (around €500). The lady at security turned round to her colleague, laughing, and said: 'Is she wearing pyjamas?' Knowing full well I could hear her. I said: 'Yes, darling I am. They're French cotton and they're wonderful!' But if you take a great coat and a classic pair of aviator sunglasses with you, you can hide anything.
