She’s made a fortune from modelling thanks to her long legs, but Jerry Hall has revealed her pins aren’t perfect after all.
Like most women - many younger than Miss Hall’s 52 years - the model turned actress suffers from a touch of cellulite.
The mother of four showed her dimpled thighs while enjoying a holiday with friends in Saint Tropez.
And although Mick Jagger’s former spouse has been pictured with the problem before, it doesn’t appear to be getting any better.
The group have been at the Club 55 and took a boat trip where Jerry stripped down to a black swim suit to take a dip in the sea.
Miss Hall, who was married to Jagger for 20 years, recently sold the dress she wore on their wedding day at auction.
The dress sold for five times its estimated prize for ?2,420, which Jerry donated to a homeless charity.
She is currently writing her autobiography after signing a reported ?1million deal.

Kate Moss switched her cool rocker boyfriend Jamie Hince for the portly businessman Sir Philip Green when she joined him for dinner last night.
The supermodel, 34, is taking a breather from Jamie after the couple had an argument at the weekend.
They are using his band’s brief European tour to give their relationship some space.
Jamie was in Paris yesterday where he played with The Kills, and makes his way to Switzerland today for a music festival.
It seems Kate has been distracting herself with work for her popular Topshop fashion line. If you can call dinner at China Tang work, that is. The trendy restaurant in London’s Dorchester Hotel was the choice of venue for Moss’ meeting with the Topshop boss.

Model Rachel Hunter was devastated last night after being booted off reality show Celebrity Circus.
The 38-year-old - who has admitted that she is unhappy with her current muscular physique - couldn’t hide her disappointment when she lost out on a place in the final after receiving the bottom score from judges.
The former wife of Rod Stewart put on a brave face as she hugged fellow contestants actress Stacey Dash and TV star Antonio Sabato Junior goodbye.
Hunter recently said that she was unhappy with her physical appearance on the show and complained that its athletic nature has caused her to gain muscle and make her look bigger.
The 5ft 10in model’s weight has fluctuated over the years. At 11st she was at her heaviest following the birth of her second child, Liam who is now 13.
The New Zealander then followed a gruelling diet and rigorous exercise regime to shed the weight.
Her reward was to become the face and body of underwear brand Ultimo - replacing ex-husband’s Rod Stewart’s latest wife Penny Lancaster.
Last year Hunter – who previously dated singer Robbie Williams - signed up to be the face of diet drink SlimFast.
‘As I’ve gotten older, I can’t eat as much as I used to,’ she said at the time.
‘The diet is not something I want to involve my daughter in. There are already too many stresses on teens. We sit down and have dinner together.’
She married Stewart, who is 24 years her senior, at the age of 21 but walked out in 1999. They have two children, Renee, 15, and Liam.

Model Jourdan Dunn has bagged her biggest advertising campaign to date - for Topshop.
The 19-year-old Londoner, who was talent-spotted in the Hammersmith branch of Primark (”I wasn’t shopping - I was with my friend,” she later clarified) has rocketed to fame since being signed to agency Storm in 2006.
She has appeared in 75 catwalk shows as well as on the covers of American and Italian Vogue, widely regarded as the most prestigious fashion magazines in the industry.
These exclusive images are taken from Topshop’s new autumn/winter advertising campaign. It features, alongside Dunn, three more bright new modelling names: Karlie Kloss, from the US, and Canadians Kori Richardson and Amanda Laine.
The campaign was shot on buses and Tube trains across London to convey the theme “Topshop on the move” - which, quite literally, it is, since owner Sir Philip Green will be opening the brand’s first stand-alone store in New York this October. The four-floor Broadway outlet will stock womenswear and menswear, including capsule collections from London designers such as Preen and Emma Cook.
Ronnie Cooke-Newhouse, Topshop’s creative director, said: “We wanted the campaign to have a very London vibe, sticking to Topshop’s roots. And Topshop girls are movers and shakers - super-stylish, cool girls.”
Topshop has a reputation for casting girls who go on to be some of the modelling world’s biggest names: Londoners Lily Donaldson and Lily Cole starred in 2004’s spring/summer campaign, as did Brazilian supermodel Caroline Trentini. “We work very hard on the casting,” said Ms Cooke-Newhouse. “We like girls that have style and personality, which is really mandatory to becoming a big model.
“Also, since both myself and Emma Summerton, the photographer, are women, we know which models are the girls that other girls want to be like.”
Certainly, there will be gaggles of girls wanting to look like Dunn. The fashion industry is not renowned for an excess of black models, which makes her rapid ascent to stardom all the more welcome. “Jourdan is so lovely. An angel,” Ms Cooke-Newhouse added. “She is very focused and professional - she’s really got it.”

Supermodel Elle Macpherson is rolling up her sleeves stop her very lucrative lingerie label from being usurped by Jessica Simpson.
Simpson recently announced that she’s planning to launch a lingerie range under the name of Jessica Simpson Intimates.
The name of the line, however, has Macpherson seeing red especially since her own multi-million dollar underwear business is named Elle Macpherson Intimates.
Macpherson’s lingerie line is one of the most successful and enduring celebrity fashion ones, reports Fashion Editor Jen Melocco.
Elle herself has said that its growth has been ‘inspirational’ to her, reports the Daily Telegraph. “The lingerie business has just been so inspirational for me - watching a small business grow into a $150 million dollar global business and we’ve been doing this for 20 years now,” she said recently.
However, Bendon, the company which produces the Elle Macpherson Intimates range, has so far refused to comment on Simpson cutting in on the name.
Simpson’s line of underwear will hit US stores next year, and it’s estimated that it could generate as much as 30 million dollars in its first year alone.

‘Man’s best friend’ makes the perfect companion for girls, too, as Agyness Deyn and Lily Allen have clearly discovered. The gals of the moment were both seen out and about on opposite sides of the pond with furry friends this week.
In London, Smile singer Lily took a stroll with her pal Honey, who’s a recent arrival in her life. After deciding to adopt a dog the 23-year-old singer and chat show host fell in love with the plump brown pooch when she visited Battersea Dogs Home last weekend. “She’s quite fat (insert ‘dogs like their owners’ joke here), but very sweet, she’s a mongrel,” wrote Lily in her online blog last week.
In New York model Agyness’ pup was quite content to let the model do the walking. It’s not clear whether the model has followed Lily’s example and decided to add some puppy love to her life, or whether she was just looking after the animal for a friend. The cuddly bundle certainly looked contented in her company, though, as the platinum-haired beauty headed out on a sunny day in the Big Apple.

Another night, another pretty young companion for wrinkly rocker Bryan Ferry.
The 62-year-old, who recently spent a evening with model Lily Cole, 20, was spotted draping his arm around a fresh faced brunette at London club Tramp last night.
The Roxy Music star, whose hits include Let’s Stick Together and Jealous Guy, added a vintage flavour to the party, which was otherwise packed with guests young enough to be his children, including Peaches Geldof and TV presenter Nick Grimshaw.
Bryan’s attractive escort bore a striking resemblance to his 27-year-old ex girlfriend Katie Turner,
The pair separated in February after six years together.
At the time, her friends said she wanted a family, while Ferry - who has four adult children - was unwilling to become a father again.
They first met when she was a dancer on one of his solo tours.
They were photographed on a romantic stroll in Munich just two weeks after Ferry’s wife, society heiress Lucy Helmore, revealed that their marriage had broken down in 2002.
Ferry has previously said that when it comes to relationships, age doesn’t factor.
He revealed in 2006: ‘It doesn’t seem weird to me at all. I know lots of people of different ages. I don’t just hang out with people who are 60 years old.’

Late night texting sessions between Kate Moss and Pete Doherty have fueled rumours that Kate’s relationship with Jamie Hince is on the rocks. Over the past week the two have re-established contact and Pete is now convinced that they can rekindle their love. Meanwhile, Jamie is fuming.
A source told the Daily Mirror: “Jamie was furious when Pete got in touch about a week ago, and over the past three nights he and Kate have texted each other until the early hours. Pete’s been showing the texts to his friends and thinks he’s on the verge of winning her back but his friends aren’t convinced.”
On hearing about Kate’s rumoured split Pete offered his condolences, going on to tell her how much he misses her and thinks that they are perfect together. The pair separated last June following claims that Pete had cheated on Kate with a South African model.
Kate and Jamie reportedly got into an argument on Saturday (5 July 08) and Jamie is now in the process of moving out of Kate’s North London home.
According to a source, the argument began over a girl: “Kate made some comment about a girl who had been hanging around Jamie and it deteriorated from there. Just hours later, Jamie was packing his things and moving stuff out of her house. By the afternoon, most of it was gone.”
The couple have not spoken since the row, Jamie has reportedly told friends that the split is not permanent, rather a chance for Kate to calm down.
