Stella McCartney Dedicates Fashion Show To Parents
Paris, France (BANG) - Everybody needs a little love sometimes. Despite Paul McCartney’s ongoing divorce battle with Heather Mills, his daughter Stella lifted the music icon’s spirits on Thursday with a reassuring hug at one of her fashion shows.
The former Beatle attended his daughter’s debut at Paris Fashion Week and Stella returned the show of support by rushing to her father and throwing her arms around him when the pair met afterwards.
Paul has been through a harrowing time since his breakup from estranged wife Heather Mills in May and the strain of heading to the divorce courts has been “devastating.”
Stella, 35, dedicated the show to her “mum (sic) and dad” - her mother was Paul’s first wife, Linda, who died in 1998 after a lengthy battle with breast cancer.
In a handwritten note, Stella wrote, “This show is dedicated to my husband and son. It is also for my mum (sic) and dad.”
Heavily-pregnant Stella, who has an 18-month-old son Miller with husband Alasdhair Wills, was thrilled to see her proud father filming the standing ovation at the end of her ready-to-wear collection showcase.
Sitting in the front-row, Paul insisted, “It was the best show. Not that I’m biased!”
The 64-year-old musician, who has a two-year-old daughter, Beatrice, with Heather, confessed he was struggling to cope with his marriage break-up.
He said, “It’s been the most terrible time for me and my family. Coming to terms with this is horrible.”
Meanwhile, Heather looked gloomy as she flew to the U.S. on Thursday. The 38-year-old former model refused to comment when quizzed about her alleged demands for $254 million divorce settlement.
