Freya towers over Donna’s air space
AT 5ft 8in, actress and model Donna Air is used to being one of the tallest women in the room.
But, at a London party this week, she was dwarfed by competition — from her own daughter.
The 39-year-old, who sported a £695 Vilshenko green velvetpanelled wool twill jacket, looked unusually diminutive next to Freya, 15, whose father is the wildlife conservationist Damian Aspinall.
‘When it looks like you’ve been shrunk in the wash, you know it must be London Fashion Week,’ joked Donna, referring to Freya and her leggy companions — models Jade Parfitt and Jodie Kidd — as ‘beautiful giraffes’.
Donna, who is dating property manager Ben Carrington after breaking up with the Duchess of Cambridge’s brother James Middleton in 2017, tells me that, although Freya has been scouted by a top model agency, her focus will remain on school.
