Bianca Jagger, the former wife of Rolling Stones frontman Mick Jagger, made a stunning appearance at the Costes hotel during Paris Fashion Week on Friday. The 80-year-old fashion icon, born Blanca Pérez-Mora Macías, looked effortlessly chic in a bold black leather trench coat that turned heads as she arrived at the prestigious event.
Effortless Style and Timeless Elegance
Bianca layered a crisp white shirt beneath a delicate black lace top, creating a sophisticated contrast with her outer leather coat. She completed her ensemble with tailored black trousers, polished black shoes that caught the light, and a luxurious Christian Dior handbag that carried her essentials. Her overall look demonstrated the timeless elegance that has made her a fashion fixture since her Studio 54 days in the 1970s.
A Glimpse into Her Past with Mick Jagger
Bianca was married to Mick Jagger from 1971 to 1978, making her his first and only legal wife. The couple met in France and quickly became pregnant with their daughter Jade, now 53. They wed in Saint-Tropez in May 1971 when Bianca was four months pregnant. During their marriage, Bianca and Mick were the toast of New York City, frequently party-hopping with celebrities like designer Halston and singer Diana Ross.
In May 1978, Bianca filed for divorce on grounds of Mick's adultery with model Jerry Hall. She later reflected bitterly on their union, stating, 'My marriage ended on my wedding day.' Despite the acrimonious split, they remain connected through their daughter Jade, a successful jewellery designer.
Daughter Jade's Perspective on Famous Parents
Jade Jagger has openly discussed the challenges of having globally famous parents. She admitted it can be a 'hindrance' due to receiving 'awful' comments from people. In one instance, she found an online article claiming 'she just can do whatever she wants,' which she described as 'very demoralising after you've worked all your life to try and achieve something.'
However, Jade also expressed admiration for her parents' successful careers, noting they give her something to 'look up to' and strive for in her own life. She explained, 'But also, obviously, seeing what my family have done always makes you look up to something higher that is almost unachievable. I try to bring myself down from thinking that's my goal, because I think that can leave you with heartache, because I'm certainly not going to be jumping around on stage in the pouring rain. I have my limits!'
Mick Jagger's Current Relationship with Melanie Hamrick
Mick Jagger is now engaged to former ballerina Melanie Hamrick, 37, though they are in no hurry to marry. In a recent interview with Paris Match, Melanie confirmed they have been engaged for three years. When asked about marriage plans, she said, 'Maybe one day, maybe not. We are so happy in our current life that I would be too afraid to change anything. I don't know what to call it, maybe simply happiness.' She attributed their happiness to mutual support and being there for each other.
How Their Relationship Began
Melanie and Mick first met in Tokyo in February 2014 while the Rolling Stones were on tour. At the time, Mick was in a long-term relationship with fashion designer L'Wren Scott, who died by suicide in March that year. Melanie recalled it wasn't love at first sight, quipping, 'Maybe a spark, but nothing incredible like: 'I'll make you lose your mind, and we'll travel the world!' We didn't even exchange phone numbers.'
They reconnected five months later through a mutual acquaintance who gave Mick her number. He sent her a text asking if she'd like to have coffee, leading to a meeting in Zurich that sparked their romance. Melanie also shared a childhood memory, saying, 'My mum would also sometimes hum 'I can't get no satisfaction' when I asked for an ice cream I hadn't earned. I would reply, 'stop mum, it's so boring'.'
Addressing the Age Gap and Personal History
Melanie has a penchant for older men, having dated Cuban dancer José Manuel Carreño when she was 19 and he was 38. She insists she doesn't care about public opinion regarding her 44-year age gap with Mick, stating she's happy, healthy, and not hurting anyone. The couple plans to move to London permanently next year to enrol their eight-year-old son, Deveraux, in school.
