TWIGGY, 75, STILL TURNING HEADS: FASHION LEGEND AND HER HUSBAND LEIGH LAWSON REVEAL THE SECRET TO THEIR ENDURING MARRIAGE

It's a match made in heaven! Supermodel Twiggy and her husband Leigh Lawson are still going strong after 42 years of marriage, and their love story is one for the ages. The couple was spotted looking stylish at the Burberry show in Perks Field during London Fashion Week on Monday, with Twiggy turning heads in a chic black suit and tie.

The 75-year-old fashion icon flashed her gorgeous smile as she posed for photos, pairing her smart blazer and matching trousers with a crisp white shirt and satin tie. It was clear that the supermodel is still feeling confident and glamorous at her age, and we can't blame her! After all, who wouldn't want to look good at 75?

It comes as the star's husband Leigh Lawson, 82, revealed the secret to their enduring marriage after 42 years

But it's not just Twiggy's fashion sense that's got everyone talking - it's also her enduring marriage to Leigh Lawson. The couple met in the eighties after being introduced by mutual friend Robert Powell, and their love story is a testament to the power of true partnership.

According to Leigh, who spoke exclusively with The Scholarly Note.com, their secret to success lies in keeping busy and working together. "I think it's quite important to keep busy," he explained. "It helps in your relationships. We get on really well and we spend almost all of our time together."

And it seems that their busy schedules are paying off - Twiggy has just landed two cover shoots with Vogue Portugal and Vogue Greece, while Leigh is celebrating the success of a musical based on his wife's life, Close-Up.

But what about their love story? How did they meet, and how have they managed to keep their marriage fresh after all these years? Well, it turns out that Twiggy was determined to make a good impression - she showed up at Leigh's house just two days after meeting him for dinner!

"I went out to get my morning paper and a big beautiful blonde in a big blue Jaguar drew up and said 'hello, do you want a cup of tea?'" Leigh laughed. "So that was that. Who would've thought in the whole of London that she lived around the corner?"

It's clear that Twiggy made an impression on Leigh - not just with her stunning looks, but also with her confidence and determination. And it seems that their love story is still going strong today.

"I found my wife really attractive and very desirable when I met her," Leigh revealed. "You wouldn't want to marry someone that you didn't fancy! But when I first met her, I just thought what a really nice lady. And I still feel that way."

So what's the key to their enduring marriage? According to Leigh, it's all about getting on as friends and enjoying each other's company. "You're more prepared to make compliments and I think probably the glue that holds it all together is humour," he said.

We couldn't agree more - a good sense of humor can go a long way in any relationship! And it seems that Twiggy and Leigh have got it down pat.

But what about their past relationships? Before marrying Leigh, Twiggy was widowed in 1983 when her husband Michael Witney died from a heart attack. As for Leigh, he had previously split from his wife Mondy in 1976.

"I think luck plays a big part," Leigh said of their marriage working out. "I wonder if we would have lasted as long if we'd met when we were younger."

It's clear that Twiggy and Leigh are meant to be - they're still going strong after all these years, and it seems like their love will only continue to grow stronger.

And in other news, Leigh has just released a book of autobiographical poetry called Now and Then. It's a collection of his favorite poems, and we can't wait to get our hands on a copy!

As for Twiggy, she's still going strong in the fashion world - landing cover shoots and working with top designers. We can't help but wonder what's next for this supermodel and her husband.

Only time will tell, but one thing is for sure: Twiggy and Leigh are an inspiration to us all. Their love story is a reminder that true partnership and friendship can last a lifetime - even after 42 years of marriage!
