Suits Like Jagger: Wedding Muse Bianca Jagger

In 1971, despite being on the run to evade tax fraud, The Rolling Stones' Mick Jagger made a nod to domesticity and married his girlfriend Bianca Perez-Mora Macias.

The wedding was the culmination of a whirlwind romance that Bianca later quoted "ended on her wedding day". 

Despite the inherent romantic tragedy it would become, Mick and Bianca emulated everything cool about 70s celebrity And here I am, decades later still utterly obsessed with her style and that bloody amazing white two piece suit she wore on her wedding day. 

This post is dedicated to nothing more than good old-fashioned paparazzi - Jagger style

“Heading to St. Tropez to marry your Nicaraguan-born girlfriend, who you met at an after-party in Paris nine months previously, while on the run from the British tax authorities… Even if you’re the front man of The Rolling Stones in the early 70s, it doesn’t really get much cooler than that. ”

"Some girl next to him kept watching me and smiling, which made it hard for me to hide what I was doing. Later I learned she was his girlfriend, Bianca."
