Mick Jagger's ex-wife Bianca Jagger, 77, almost unrecognisable as she wows at Dior show
The former Studio 54 regular completed the look with a pair of oversized gold drop earrings, black leather gloves and a white Lady Dior handbag.Bianca was married to Rolling Stones singer Mick from 1971 to 1978.The former couple met in 1970 before marrying in a Catholic ceremony in Saint-Tropez, France.They share a daughter together, Jade Sheena Jezebel Jagger, who was born October 21 1971.Despite his marriage to Bianca, Mick once claimed that it was better for musicians to “not be with anybody” because “domesticity is death”.His comments were made back in 1974 but were then republished by rock magazine Uncut in a special on drummer Charlie Watts, who died aged 80 last August.He also added that he differed from stars like the late David Bowie, who “spend a long time at home with their old ladies and families”.Mick and Bianca didn’t have the most conventional marriage, and it has been widely reported that both spouses strayed during their seven-year union.In 1973, it was revealed that Bianca had an affair with actor Ryan O'Neal, while Mick was constantly surrounded by women and fangirls.She told People in 1977: “In the first years of our marriage, I played the wife. I was docile and subservient…but groupies weren't an easy thing to get used to.“I have had very few affairs.
