Yasmin Le Bon | Amanda Wakeley Style DNA

- Опубліковано 22 лип 2024
- This week I go on a style journey with my gorgeous friend Yasmin Le Bon. Yasmin walked in my inaugural London Fashion Week show back in the early 90’s…it was my first exposure to a super model (which I had assumed would be pretty intimidating) but she was kind, encouraging and incredibly down to earth…oh, and totally breathtakingly beautiful. Despite her global fame and the fact she has been married to the rockstar Simon Le Bon, front man of the legendary band Duran Duran, for nearly 40 years, she remains wonderfully grounded, inciteful and funny…and still breathtakingly beautiful. She has appeared on over 300 magazine covers across the world including the first issues of both British and American Elle. Her modelling career spans 5 decades and she and her oldest daughter Amber are the mother and daughter faces of Boodles jewellery. Yasmin has an informed passion for fashion, she is honestly one of the most effortlessly stylish women I know, and I loved hearing her thoughts and insights on the complex world of modelling, ageing, as well as her own approach to style.
I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did having it…
Am the same age as Yasmin and that is the first interview of hers I've ever listened to.
She seems like a friend now, what a lovely lady!

She is totally different from what I expected her to be.She is funny, outgoing, down to earth. I always thought she was Simons silent sidekick, but I never heard her speak until now. What a cool woman!
She's a sweetheart. It's no surprise she and Simon have been married almost 40 years! Both are down-to-earth people.
Love her! She's so down to earth with great humour! She's still very beautiful!
Hasn,t she aged WELL..............not a mark on her face...............was always my fav. model back then etc..........she looks "Fab"........................and a "lovely" personality.....................we need to see MORE from her.........................
Thank you for featuring the goddess Yasmin! A lifelong Duran Duran fan, I've been *obsessed* with Yasmin for decades, she's so incredibly articulate and kind as well as stunningly beautiful
Omg she still looks absolutely amazing, she just doesn't age 👌
Delightful to see Yasmin. She’s adorable & looking incredible 🌻
Love her and Simon! What a beautiful, long marriage and family they have created!
yasmin is perfection, brains, humor, style, and beauty. simon is a lucky man!
Grounded, humble and humorous. Love it.
Great interview! I've loved & followed her career since the mid eighties when everyone had blonde hair/blue eyes. And finally someone so beautiful with dark hair/brown eyes.
Sooo....when I ran away from home to LA in 86', I told everyone my name was Yasmin.😬
I thought her wedding photos were the most beautiful wedding photos I have ever seen , her face and hair and dress were simplistic chic that was absolutely breathtaking
I just Googled them to remind myself how she looked and yes, adorable!
Oh Yasmin, you're a forever lovely person, Simon is a very lucky man and I'm sure he knows it!
I ve always loved Yasmin, a wonderful woman ,one of my favorite models of the 90s. Down to earth, very simple although very charismatic and so beautiful.She could be changing herself in anything she wanted, I also admire her as a mother .
Instagram and social media has changed the model game tremendously ( in a good way), from the days when Yasmin modeled. A new model like Kendall Jenner would not have made it to be the highest paid model in the world so quick in her career. And she did it without having to sleep with the right guy or anything nefarious like that which models needed to subject themselves to back then. I like how these older models try to gloss over the industry in those days. Let's also keep in mind , Yasmin was lucky enough to find the love of her life at 20 years old and stay married for all those years, which gave her stability most models did not have.
Yasmin is beautiful - externally, yes, but also within. She comes across as such a deep and benevolent soul. Just a delight!
Yasmin is still my fave top model. Gorgeous and witty woman, really. What a lovely interview! 👍😊😊
Wonderful interview. I could listen to Yasmin all day!
I still have a folder of magazine pages and photos that I used to rip out in the 80's when my friends and I followed the DD model girlfriend's as much as the band.
YLB she’s still gorgeous mature really honest loved it.
I enjoyed this interview with Yasmin so much.. She is just so wonderful !
Love her- such an inspiration!
Thank you for showcasing this beautiful icon of a woman. I found your chat with her , so fascinating, interesting, charming, funny, real,and inspiring. Def do a part 2 . ❤
I love Yasmin Le Bon, she is a real person and she is an inspiration to us all.
She is amazing!!! ❤
Such a lovely woman. I'm so glad she and Simon are still together.
I've been Duran Duran fan for 40 years. It broke my teenage heart when Simon got married. I'm glad her chose her to marry. They're truly soulmates.
I feel that way with my husband. We just celebrated 29 years together. He's a Duran Duran fan too. That helped with deciding to date him.😂😂😂
Thanks to my love of Duran Duran, YT algo recommended this video for my consideration. I knew Simon married a beautiful model in the 1980s but I didn’t know anything else about her. Now, after watching this interview, I feel confident in saying he married a stunning human soul. She appears kind, compassionate, and intelligent.
I found her perspective about modeling being another form of story telling and that it requires a higher level of imagination than actors because actors are often pigeon holed by their previous roles.
This made me wonder if there might be a book or movie script out there showing the wonder and beauty of modeling as a model learns the art of imagination. So many modeling movies tell the story of addiction and eating disorders, etc. They rarely show the evolution of learning how to create classics as an art form. I had never really considered that side of modeling unless I was reading an anthology type piece with models representing various stages of the story with a companion text.
Great to see and hear from Yasmin we don't see her enough ❤
A beautiful interview and Yasmine describes the role of a model so well. Delightful ladies!
It’s nice to see such a beautiful woman discuss real issues, especially when it comes to as we age regarding menopause and hormones, bloating, etc. You just realize that although they may be famous, they still have the same problems. I loved her. She seems so kind and caring.I’d like to have lunch with her
Love her laugh, what a lovely genuine fun lady 👍
She is just the loveliest woman. Smart and down to earth and funny. We should be friends😂
She is the most human, inspiring, wise supermodel. God Bless!
Lovely Yasmin. Loved her since my teenage Duranie days. Her smile is so gorgeous and still so youthful. I used to draw her face on my fashion croqis in design school. Love her.
What a lovely lady! I remember her from back in the day - ripped jeans in the 'model off duty' look and supercool. Great to know how nice she is in real life 😊
Oh my goodness, she is fantastic so real.
As a teen that loved rock stars and super models, I had pics of my favorite band on one wall and pics of my fave models right next to them...one pic of Simon Le Bon right next to young model Yasmin Parvaneh. I believe I made a cosmic love match.
What an amazing interview. Yasmeen is sooo adorable, smart, kind and warm. And she has still got the X factor
Yasmin please start enjoying looking at yourself. Looks,personality,soul. The sum of all youre parts! And that includes your family. Youre so Lovely. Be kind, when you look in the mirror😊❤

She’s so right; we need manufacturers in all countries, not just China.
Lovely interview, both women look beautiful and Amanda thank you for interviewing gorgeous, adorable Yasmin. She looks amazing and I’m so curious does anyone happen to know who makes Yasmin’s gold link necklace she’s wearing? 🙏 Love it and her!!! ❤

Thank you for this conversation with Yasmin. She's wonderful
Love both of you. soooo down to earth, it's lovely.
Yasmin le bon 🌷 is so beautiful and so amazingly kind, honest, fresh, intelligent and wise and l think her style was always really authentic and exquisite 🌼💛🌺
Lively person! ❤
Great video, I've always been a Yasmin fan.
Thank you for this insight into Yasmin and her life. Simon, I will always love DD and I must say, you are a very, very lucky man! 💯
Yasmin looks better in her 50's. I thought I saw her in person once at concert hall here in the United States. She looked like she would slit a throat. Did not smile at anyone. She is Scorpio, so I can relate.
Interesting!
Yasmin is so right. We need to bring back clothing manufacturing to the UK. We were known for our quality high-street clothing 40+ years ago. But big chains got greedy and there was more profit exploiting third world countries. There's a middle ground between Primark and Designer ready to wear, that UK manufacturing could easily inhabit. Fast fashion exploits the workers and the planet to the detriment of us all.
She's naturally gorgeous , lovely voice too
Love her, true class!
An absolute delight…wow she looks and is amazing. Real and loveable ❤
Impressive! She seems to be the rare whole package.
What a lovely person.
Darling Yasmin. Best model, ever AND a beautiful human.
Pure class
🌠✡ Good Interview...Go Yassy !..
She was always a bit sort of hippyish bohemian i thought and has that vibe. Simons a bit like that too i reckon. She's right about how much better it was back in the day, they could switch off.
A cool beauty.....I see why Simon loves and stayed married to her for 30 years.
Wonderful interview Amanda, Yassy has always been my favourite supermodel 💖⭐️ One thing though I find confusing, she champions inclusivity and diversity but yet is worried how a tattoo will look when she's older...
Her perfect bone structure makes for a gorgeously shaped face. Age cannot wither her. ❤
Even though I only watched this as a Duran fan, I found it very interesting how fragile Yasmin is under the surface. The whole thing about people being kind to her, about putting on one ounce and feeling fat, and struggling to wear things. Yasmin looks not a day over 35, with that olive half iranian skin, and look at that neck. Nobody at any age has a swan neck like that, nerry a single wrinkle. She would look amazing in a black bin bag and wearing an ash tray, and as she smokes 40 a day, and parties all around the world, I can't see it has made a single difference to her. She really needs to take a leaf out of John Taylor/Gela Nash/Vivian Westwoods book and stick two fingers up at anyone who judges her. PARTICULARLY HERSELF.
Comfort is everything now. I totally get that. I can never find anything to wear.
Class model all the way 😊
Lucky woman to he married to such a talented man love duran duran
Absolutely adore Yasmin she has such grace timeless beauty and that self deprecating charm . I do believe in inclusivity but that shouldnt mean that the mystique of the model as muse is lost . So right about the exploitation in industries like modelling .
Such a beautiful lady
She looks an easy 10 years younger than her age.
❤The scorpion way
a forever beauty
So lovely. I wear mens shoes❤
She loves animals as well, which is a plus
beautiful lady inside and out
She somewhat resembles Gwen Stefani back in the day
This lady looks almost half her age. Howww
Timeless beauty. Whats her secret? She never aged since i saw her pictures with Simon. Coz im a big big fan of Duran Duran. I first saw her on pop magz with Mr.Le Bon.
My dressing room.....my wardrobe...that's the difference.
😂 well Yasmin was so mysterious to me I thought she was Brazilian
Yasmina so beautiful, she looks so young looks better, than a 30year❤❤
She could be the sister of Lisa Eldridge.
She also looks very like in the face as her husband S L B.
still ding dong
Lovely interview until...she's a bit special. You really don't need to go there. Swap that with any other marginalised group - go on, do it - you just wouldn't. But 'a bit special' is fine isn't it.
