At 68, Jerry Hall shows her grandsons how it's done
Jerry Hall may be approaching her 69th birthday, but the model, actress and style icon is just as in demand now as she was in the heyday of Studio 54. Hall holds a seemingly permanent position atop the glitziest of guest lists, and with a new Burberry advertising campaign to add to her illustrious portfolio, her post-Murdoch marriage era might just be her best yet.
The Burberry campaign, released ahead of Mother's Day in the US (which will happen on Sunday May 11 this year), stars Hall alongside her daughters and grandchildren – Georgia May Jagger, 33, and Elizabeth 'Lizzy' Jagger, 41, with their respective sons seven month-year-old Dean and four-year-old Eugene. Hall looks fantastic in a trench dress inspired by the British brand's signature coat, while her family members wear various check print and military-inspired pieces in what Burberry described in a press release as a 'heartfelt ode to family'.
It's also a tribute to Hall's fashion renaissance, which has been brewing for a while now, perhaps since she fronted Saint Laurent's spring/summer 2022 campaign in sharp tailoring and crushed velvet. These images recalled the time she wore Yves Saint Laurent's famous tuxedo in her first ever fashion show in 1975, as well as her closing walk in a Le Smoking tux during the designer's final show in 2002.
Famously scouted while sunbathing on a St Tropez beach when she was 17, the small town Texan-born teenager was to become one of the original supermodels. She was a regular on catwalks and covers before her high-profile relationship with Mick Jagger, which spanned more than two decades, cemented her icon status.
Synonymous with Studio 54 and Seventies glamour, Hall has remained relevant throughout the intervening years, but has returned to the spotlight of late. She's long been known for her signature beauty look – flowing blonde curls, deep side parting, bold red lip – as well as her disco-inspired fashion choices, from Halston silk gowns to Thierry Mugler suits via plenty of sequins.
This glitzy style came to the fore when she played a starring role in a high-drama Dolce & Gabbana beauty campaign named 'Il Pranzo' (meaning 'the lunch' in Italian) in 2024. The short film shot by Steven Klein saw Hall command a table of other stars including her daughter Georgia May, dressed in a vinyl leopard-print trench coat and rocking her trademark red lip.
Legendary make-up artist Sandy Linter, who worked with Hall from the earliest days of her modelling career, explains the ongoing appeal. 'Working with her was a joy,' she says. 'I did her first shoot with Anna Wintour and photographer Rico Puhlmann in Barbados for Harper's Bazaar in 1975. From there, she worked with every big fashion magazine and became a cover girl. From that first day, her work was, and continues to be, impressive.'
Equally admirable is her ability to bounce back from adversity. In 2022, it was announced that Hall and Rupert Murdoch, her then husband of six years, were divorcing. News that the media tycoon instigated the split via email broke a year later, with sources quoted in a Vanity Fair article claiming that Hall was 'devastated', despite public claims that the former couple remained friends.
Clearly, this has not been enough to stop Hall in her glamorous tracks. As well as fronting high-profile campaigns, she's become a regular on the fashion front row, especially at Burberry shows, where she has developed a slightly more pared-back aesthetic that's just as chic as her sultriest looks.
She recently attended Burberry's autumn/winter 2025 show in London with her daughters, offering a wearable take on her signature style in a simple black dress worn with sheer tights and mid-calf boots – plus a vampy black leather trench coat to ensure that touch of drama remained in place. Her signature long blonde curls were replaced with a sleek straight look for this appearance, but it nevertheless continued a compelling case for embracing long hair in later life.
It certainly doesn't hurt Hall's case that Seventies style is firmly in fashion, from an abundance of suede to an influx of floaty blouses. This is thanks in large part to the boho revival prompted by Chemena Kamali at Chloé, another fashion house with which Hall is intimately linked. Having walked in Karl Lagerfeld's Chloé shows in the 1970s, she was a natural choice to appear in a series of portraits released ahead of Kamali's first show as creative director in 2024.
Hall also sat front row with Georgia May and Sienna Miller for the influential show, trading Studio 54 glitz for nouveau-boho romance in a classic beige trench coat, half-moon bag and thigh-high tan boots. The stylish mother-daughter duo were back on the front row for Chloé's autumn/winter 2025 show in Paris in March, with Hall channelling Parisian chic in an all-black ensemble that featured a lace-adorned silk camisole, leather jacket and corset-tie shoes.
'Jerry Hall [has made] an indelible footprint in the world of modelling,' says Linter. More than this, she's influenced the fashion industry at large, which looks set to continue as she heads towards her next decade.

Porn Britannia, Xi's absence & no more lonely hearts?
OnlyFans is giving the Treasury what it wants – but should we be concerned? 'OnlyFans,' writes Louise Perry, 'is the most profitable content subscription service in the world.' Yet 'the vast majority of its content creators make very little from it'. So why are around 4 per cent of young British women selling their wares on the site? 'Imitating Bonnie Blue and Lily Phillips – currently locked in a competition to have sex with the most men in a day – isn't pleasant.' OnlyFans gives women 'the sexual attention and money of hundreds and even thousands of men'. The result is 'a cascade of depravity' that Perry wouldn't wish on her worst enemy. In business terms, however, OnlyFans is a 'staggering success', according to economics editor Michael Simmons. 'Britain's sex industry brings in far more to the economy than politicians are comfortable admitting'; OnlyFans might just be Britain's most profitable tech start-up. 'If we are going to wage a moral war on porn,' Simmons argues, 'we should at least be honest about what we're sacrificing.' Louise and Michael joined the podcast to discuss further (1:21). Next: could Xi Jinping's time be up? Historian Francis Pike writes about the unusual absence of China's President Xi. China-watchers have detected some subtle differences from the norm in Chinese media, from fewer official references to Xi to changes in routine politburo meetings. So, could Xi Jinping be forced to step down? And if so, who is on manoeuvres and why? Francis joined the podcast alongside former diplomat Kerry Brown, professor of China Studies at King's College London (22:31). And finally: is the era of the lonely hearts ad coming to an end? Tony Whitehead provides his notes on lonely hearts columns this week, writing about how, 330 years after they first appeared in print in Britain, they may soon disappear. Francesca Beauman – who literally wrote the book on the subject, Shapely Ankle Preferr'd – and Mark Mason join the podcast to provide their favourite examples, from the serious to the humorous (35:13). Hosted by William Moore and Lara Prendergast. Produced by Patrick Gibbons.

'Most hated city in Europe' where Brits love to go on holiday
Benidorm is one of Europe's most popular holiday destinations, welcoming some 800,000 British tourists a year - but that doesn't mean it's not also one of the most controversial Benidorm has been branded 'The worst place on Earth' by some, despite the resort town attracting roughly 800,000 British holidaymakers annually. Indeed, for certain travellers, its unenviable title stems precisely because of the influx of Brits each year. This Spanish seaside city, famous for its "strip" crammed with bars and nightclubs, revels in a reputation of limitless revelry where drunken antics and indecent exposure are as typical of the vacation experience as sunshine and sandy shores. YouTuber Ben Morris set off to Benidorm investigating whether its infamous notoriety is merited, pointing out that many attribute the resort's issues primarily to one thing: "Brits abroad." Ben observes that English is far more common than Spanish even in the scenic Old Town, stating: "Lots of people refer to Benidorm as 'Mini Britain,' with the British greatly surpassing the local population." He was taken aback by the sheer number of people thronging the streets, saying: "I knew that this was a popular holiday destination but I was really thrown off by how busy it actually was." However genteel Benidorm seems by day, the night transforms it completely, reports the Express. As darkness falls, encounters with illicit drug peddlers and, curiously, condom vendors become routine, targeting inebriated tourists to splurge their holiday funds. "I just couldn't get over how different the energy was at night-time," Ben said. "It was like feeding time at the zoo with Brits drinking and partying all down the streets." The bustling Calle Gerona is tailored for a certain type of holidaymaker. "It's just crazy walking down the strip; it's pub after pub after sports bar after pub," Ben remarked. One infamous destination in Benidorm, Sticky Vicky's, notorious for its peculiar adult performance involving unexpected objects and a woman's nether regions, remains open even after its founder passed away in 2023. Taking the limelight is María Gadea Aragüés, Vicky's own daughter, who began mastering the unconventional family talent at the tender age of 13. Ben could only stomach roughly 10 minutes of the show before he had to make a swift exit. Yet, for those seeking a break from the brash strip's neon embrace, a short ride away lies the tranquil Altea. "It's a completely different vibe to Benidorm," Ben observes, suggesting it as a serene escape when the risqué antics of Sticky Vicky's become overwhelming.

Michelle Keegan lands six-figure deal in first major job since having baby Palma
Just three months after giving birth to her first child with husband Mark Wright, Michelle Keegan has landed a huge deal worth six-figures, it has been reported Michelle Keegan has signed a six-figure advertising deal just three months after becoming a new mum. The former Coronation Street star has been embracing life as a first-time mum since welcoming baby Palma Elizabeth Wright into the world on March 6. Michelle and Mark Wright have been enjoying their time as new parents over the last three months. Fans have been given a glimpse into their first holiday abroad as a family of three last month as Michelle and Mark, both 38, headed to Spain with two-month-old Palma. Michelle revealed to her followers that Palma has been given the nickname Princess P, whilst confirming that it was their first holiday. She wrote in the caption of her post: "Princess P's first family holiday." But it seems it is back to business for Michelle who has just signed a deal to become the new face of Sky. She is set to film a series of promo clips — which will be shown around the globe — with fellow British actor, Luther star Idris Elba. She landed the deal after becoming a major player for Sky, with her comedy-drama Brassic one of the most popular series to air on the platform. A source told The Sun: 'Michelle has really been enjoying maternity leave with Palma, but she'll be back to work soon to film these new adverts for Sky. She has signed a six-figure deal for the job and is thrilled to have been chosen to appear alongside Idris, who has been their 'face'. 'Brassic is ending after the seventh series and Michelle is keen to still be a part of the Sky brand. Landing this ad is huge for Michelle, as she's fast becoming a brand in her own right. Everything she touches seems to turn to gold.' Michelle Keegan is now a household name after appearing in some of Britain's favourite TV shows including Our Girl and Coronation Street. However, the star went from working at a make-up counter when she finished school to a successful actress with what seems like a dream life. The Stockport star didn't have plans when she first left school and found herself working at Selfridges in the Trafford Centre on a make-up counter and at Manchester Airport as a check-in agent. But she seems to have found her feet when it comes to success in the wolrd of TV as she secured first acting appearance on Coronation Street when she was offered the role of Tina McIntyre after just her second audition as an actress. The talented actress beat 900 other people to the role on the soap and just two weeks later she stepped onto the cobbles and began her career. TV star Michelle Keegan may be earning mega money now but she will have to put in the overtime if she want to catch up with her husband Mark Wright. It was reported two years ago that Mark is now worth almost £14million as he continues to grow his incredible property empire. With an estimated combined net worth of around £20m, it's no wonder the pair splashed the cash on their dream home three years ago.
