Born to an Iranian father and English mother, Le Bon married Duran Duran’s Simon LeBon in 1985.

The Telegraph’s UK headline says all about fashion’s latest crop of golden girls: Yasmin Le Bon: ‘I wear more miniskirts now than I did in my 20s and 30s’. Re, the term ‘granny’, it doesn’t have a lot of appeal for the mother of three daughters and now grandmother to “adorable” Taro. "My daughter really wants him to call me 'Yammy' which is kind of cute,” Le Bon recently told Irish Independent.

On the subject of aging gracefully, YLB inspires. "I think I'm going to be thoroughly disgraceful. In my heart, I'm always a rebel so I never want to conform to anyone else's standards or ideas so I change daily.

"I don't know about this growing old gracefully thing. I think grow old as you feel happy to be, whatever makes you happy."
