Even Jodie’s man didn’t recognise her!
JODIE Kidd’s natural blonde hair played as much a part in her rise to modelling stardom in the Nineties as her razor- sharp cheekbones.
Now, the 40- yearold has ditched one of her trademark features — by dyeing her wavy locks chocolate brown.
‘It’s something I’ve wanted to do my whole life, but I’ve always been petrified,’ she confides at the Essentiel Antwerp store launch party in Sloane Square.
Jodie showed off her new look, teamed with a yellow jacket and floral dress.
Jokingly, she adds: ‘ Maybe it’s a midlife crisis?’
Her boyfriend, the dashing former Royal Marine Joseph Bates, is struggling to adjust to the newlook Jodie.
‘He was picking me up earlier today. I said on the phone: “I’m crossing the King’s Road now,” and had to say: “You’re literally driving past me!”
‘He slammed on the brakes and was like: “Oh, my God!” He didn’t recognise me at all. But he loves it.’
