What with dragging the children out of bed, making their packed lunches and cajoling them into the car, it’s all most mothers can do to drag a comb through their hair before setting off on the school run.
Not Elle Macpherson, scourge of every yummy mummy. This week, the pristine 46-year-old supermodel chose to show off her new Christian Louboutin skyscraper heels — not on the red carpet or in a fancy West End restaurant, but while taking her two sons to their West London prep school.
Yes, it seems that Miss Macpherson — aka The Body — has turned the stroll to school with her boys, Flynn, 13, and eight-year-old Cy, into her very own catwalk.
Catwalk queen: Elle sashays to the school gates in her £650 Louboutin ‘Lucifer Bow’ sandals
Orange appeal: Elle accessorised her sunkissed mane with a beachy orange shift dress
Height of fashion: Elle teamed a £294 cashmere jumper by Oz brand Banjo and Matilda with stiletto shoe boots
Ripping yarn: Elle was flying the flag for Britain with these slashed-to-the-thigh £250 Hudson skinny flag jeans
Principal girl: Looking fabulous in over the knee boots and her ubiquitous gilet
Poetry in motion: In Bella Freud’s £200 ‘Ginsberg Is God’ jumper with mini and lace tights
Roman conquest: Elle steps out in gladiator sandals and toga-style dress
So every morning, without fail, on go
the sunglasses (Ray-Bans, of course), the designer shoes and the
fashion-forward ensembles — think stilettos, skin-tight leather trousers
and chunky gilet. Oh, and a quick smile, pout or twirl around for the
waiting paparazzi, of course.
Here,
we present the slinky, sexy and downright ridiculous outfits she’s worn
to take her children to school. Just spare a thought for those other
poor mothers at the school gates . . .
Pedal power: Elle cycles her son to school in jeans and ballet flats
Rock chic: In a £20 Roxy Music T-shirt, £199 MET ripped jeans and fluffy black gilet
Pretty in pink: Elle shows off her endless legs in a fuchsia shift paired with £770 Isabel Marant boots
Elle for leather: The supermodel in £300 skin-tight leather trousers by Italian designer MET
Russian revolution: Elle strikes a pose in a print mini dress with knee high boots and fur gilet
All white now: Only The Body could wear £199 MET jeans and jacket with no stain in sight
Red alert: Elle makes a statement in a £1,500 pair of scarlet Isabel Marant leather trousers
