How to confound those cynics who raise an eyebrow at the wedding of supermodel Jerry Hall to a billionaire 35 years her senior? I don’t know, but I’m pretty sure it’s not by taking a handbag the size and heft of a budget briefcase along when you say “I Do”. To be fair, this is not Hall’s wedding dress – we can look forward something rather more romantic on the steps of St Bride’s tomorrow – but one might have expected a couple with the combined media expertise of the new Mr & Mrs Murdoch to have been prepared for a level of scrutiny to greet their first photo as a married couple, and dressed in such a way as to present an appropriately romantic image. Murdoch looks rather smart in his sunny blue suit, whereas Hall looks all set for a shopping trip with the girls to Bicester Village. But the trench coat is elegant – and the knot is indeed tied, ha ha.
