Jo Wood, the 70-year-old model and former spouse of Rolling Stones guitarist Ronnie Wood, captivated audiences as she graced the runway for Vin+Omi's London Fashion Week presentation. The event took place on Tuesday at the Art'otel in Hoxton, where Wood displayed her timeless elegance and age-defying appearance.
A Striking Ensemble with a Message
Wood made a bold statement in a black lace bra, layered beneath a sleek black blazer prominently featuring the word 'lies' emblazoned across it. She paired this with matching suit trousers, completing a sophisticated yet edgy look. Adding a touch of floral charm, she strutted confidently down the catwalk with delicate flowers artfully wired into her blonde hair, drawing admiration from onlookers.
History with Vin+Omi and Fellow Catwalk Star
This appearance marks another collaboration with the innovative fashion label Vin+Omi, known for its commitment to sustainability and eco-textile advancements since its establishment in 2004. Wood has previously modeled for the brand, including in 2022 when she wore a sheer pink dress and in 2024 with a futuristic spaceship-inspired outfit.
Also sharing the spotlight was Dame Prue Leith, the 85-year-old former host of The Great British Bake Off. Leith delivered an animated performance during the dress rehearsal before donning an eye-catching orange patterned suit paired with a dramatic pink ruffled shirt for the evening show. Vin+Omi's runway events are celebrated for featuring a diverse array of supporters, such as Debbie Harry and Jane Moore, alongside Wood and Leith.
Jo Wood's Lifestyle and Health Regimen
Beyond her modeling career, Wood is renowned for her disciplined approach to health and wellness. She follows a strict diet, starting her day with a matcha latte or decaf latte enhanced with mushroom and herb powders like Lion's Mane, Turkey Tail, Astragalus, He Shou Wu, Maca, and Reishi. Typically waiting until midday to eat, she opts for simple meals such as banana mashed on organic bread with olive oil and cinnamon, or kefir with honey and banana.
For dinner, Wood prefers clean and fresh options, often choosing wild-caught cod with a crisp cucumber sandwich, and occasionally indulging in half a bar of Green & Black's chocolate as a treat. She sources her food from organic providers like Wylde Market and Riverford, avoiding supermarkets whenever possible to maintain a completely organic diet she adopted after being diagnosed with Crohn's Disease in 2005.
Personal Life and Career Ventures
Wood, who launched her own organic cosmetics line in 2005 and now runs an interior design company, has been vocal about her views on health, criticizing weight loss jabs as unsuitable for middle-aged women. Her personal life includes a 24-year marriage to Ronnie Wood from 1985 to 2011, with whom she shares children Jamie, Leah, and Tyrone. The marriage ended amid controversy when Ronnie had an affair with a younger waitress.
Since her divorce, Wood has had several relationships but has been single since splitting from chef boyfriend Jameson Stocks in 2023. Meanwhile, Ronnie Wood has remarried and has twin daughters with his current wife. Through it all, Jo Wood continues to inspire with her resilience, style, and dedication to a sustainable lifestyle, making her a standout figure in both fashion and wellness circles.
