Fashion: The conquest of Snowdon
She’s the Essex girl whose claim to fame is having dated George Clooney for five years. But the model and presenter Lisa Snowdon says the relationship actually held back her career. She tells Lucy Cavendish why it is only now recovering
t is sort of odd going to interview the model-turned-television-presenter Lisa Snowdon because, although I think I know her, I have never met her before. I’ve seen her, of course.
In fact, on my way to the photo-shoot in a disused pub in Camberwell, south London, I happen to pick up an old copy of OK! magazine, and there is Snowdon pictured on holiday in Barbados this January with her on-off boyfriend Gary Dourdan (of CSI fame).
She is wearing a skimpy bikini and her long, swingy brown hair hangs halfway down her back and she looks happy and rather sexy. But I find the photographs of her and Dourdan intriguing for many reasons. They make me wonder who Lisa Snowdon really is.
A couple of years back I’d seen her in another glossy magazine, accompanied by another one of her on-off boyfriends, the much lusted-after George Clooney. She was clad in a bikini again but, this time, on board a boat near Clooney’s home on Lake Como in Italy.
Clooney and Snowdon were accompanied in the boat by A-list Hollywood celebrities such as Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston.
Then, a few weeks after that, I stumbled across a copy of the men’s magazine FHM and there Snowdon was again, posing in lingerie and talking about sex. She has been in the FHM 100 Sexiest Women poll for the past decade, so maybe it’s not surprising that she seems to spend a lot of her time wearing few clothes.
