Her husband may be part of Duran Duran, but Yasmin Le Bon opened the Little Joe Woman show at Australian Fashion Week to music from the Rolling Stones.
The stunning 46-year-old English model walked the runway at the Overseas Passenger Terminal in a flowing, floral full-length strappy sundress, as a remixed Mick Jagger pumped out You Can't Always Get What You Want.
Australian Gail Elliott, the model-turned-designer behind the Little Joe Woman brand has been friends with Le Bon for 25 years, and convinced her to come to Sydney for Tuesday's show.
"We've known each other forever, a really, really long time. And we've always been friends - we've gone through a lot together," Le Bon tells AAP.
"I spoke to Gail. Simon was on tour, the girls were at school or travelling and she said `Why don't you come and see us'," said Le Bon, who has worked as a model since she was 17.
Once dubbed the face of the Eighties, Le Bon graced the covers of the first-ever American and British Elle magazines. She has also been the face for campaigns for Yves Saint Laurent, Calvin Klein and Ralph Lauren.
Elliott's show Love in Exile took its name from a documentary that traced the Stones' time spent in France back in the 1970s.
"That 70s Boho Mick Jagger look inspired the collection and that followed through into the music," Elliott said.
Models wore low-belted shirt dresses in denim and pale peach silk chiffon.
There were denim shorts, butter suede skirts, long crocheted tank tops, black lace cocktail dresses and cream cotton shirts with bell sleeves.
"(The collection) creates a hippie look - cool and sexy Boho chic but with nice fabrics," Le Bon said.
Wearing a strapless long silk dress as she stepped off the runway at the end of the show Le Bon told AAP: "I could be on the red carpet in this or be at a party or a beach picnic."
