Yasmin, still as f lawless as ever at not-quite-50

- By Laura Cox

SHE has said she felt insecure about her body as she approached her 50th year.

But Yasmin Le Bon looked every inch her supermodel self yesterday as she launched a swimwear range.

Mrs Le Bon, 49, was unveiled as the face and body of the latest Speedo Sculpture collection, in a series of images that showcased her still sensationa­l figure.

It would certainly seem she has shrugged off any insecuriti­es about ageing. Adopting a range of poolside poses, she showed off her toned legs and sleek physique during a photoshoot to promote the collection for Speedo, which was founded by Scot Alexander MacRae.

Her body betrayed little sign of the three children she has brought up with 55-year-old Duran Duran frontman husband Simon Le Bon – Amber, 24, Saffron, 22, and Tallulah, 20.

Earlier this year, Mrs Le Bon, who has also fronted campaigns for Calvin Klein, Versace, Chanel and Marks & Spencer, admitted she felt insecure about her looks.

She said growing older had caused her ‘ really horrendous days’ at times.

She has also released a handbook of tips on how to look good in a swimsuit, including walking with pointed toes, having your hair swept to one side and simply smiling.

She said: ‘After spending 33 years on the modelling circuit, I have heard all of the tricks of the trade. The best advice I’ve received on looking your best in a swimsuit is to wear it with confidence and a smile. It instantly changes your appearance.’

Speedo UK marketing manager Sally Polak said: ‘We understand the approach of summer can give rise to body confidence issues among many women, which is why we’re working with Yasmin to help tackle these anxieties.’
