Mimi
in driver's seat with Jac
By NICK PAPPS
Jacques Villeneuve had another famous sister at his side yesterday at Albert
Park.The Grand Prix driver starred in a fashion shoot at the track with Elle's
sister Mimi Macpherson.
Just months after breaking up with Kylie Minogue's sister Dannii, the eligible
Villeneuve set Melbourne tongues wagging that he may have found a new girlfriend.
Macpherson and Villeneuve chatted and laughed for several minutes yesterday
and Macpherson is believed to be heading back to the Grand Prix on Sunday to
see the 29-year-old racer.
For more than four hours yesterday, Macpherson modelled the latest outfits from
Melbourne designer Phillips and Sydney designers Wayne Cooper and Morrissey.
In her shoot with Villeneuve, she wore a black slinky cowl-neck cocktail dress
and shoes by Zomp.
Stylist Phillip Boon said
Macpherson had a great time in the British American Racing team pit.
"There was a sensation," he said. "She had a great time. They
got on very well. "But Villeneuve may have to stick to racing Formula One,
with Mr Boon saying he was just a little too short to become a model.
"He's got the look, but not the height," he said.
While Macpherson posed all over the pit, Villeneuve found time to watch over
his car's preparation, tried on his racing suit and put on some casual shorts
and his team shirt for the photos. During the Grand Prix spectators will buy
enough merchandise to clothe a small army this year with Michael Schumacher's
Ferrari team sure to dominate sales.
