Iman puts her best fashion foot forward in a pair of chic checked trousers in New York City 

Iman put her best fashion foot forward in a pair of chic checked trousers as she headed out in New York City. 

The supermodel, 65, looked chic as she added a long grey coat to her casual-cool ensemble on Thursday.

She matched the dark grey and orange checked trousers with a grey top to tie her look together.

The mother-of-two, who was married to David Bowie from 1992 until his death in 2016, opted for comfort as she sported a pair of black Sketchers trainers while out in the city.

Iman protected herself from the ongoing pandemic and covered her face with a black face mask. 

Her caramel tresses cascaded over her shoulders in loose curls which framed her face. 

She kept her accessories minimal and carried a small black purse while she covered her face with sunglasses. 

In a recent interview, Iman revealed she faked her parents’ signatures on her passport when she was a teen so she could travel to the US to pursue her early modelling career.

She explained at an evening with Harper’s Bazaar, in celebration of International Women’s Day, on Thursday that she did it because she didn’t think she ‘had a chance’ of succeeding.

Explaining how her parents didn’t know she was going, and she lied that she was already 18 so she could fly from Kenya to the USA, Iman said: ‘She [her mother] had no idea I was leaving.  

‘To get a passport to leave the country I needed a signature from both my parents, but I faked it and said I was already 18. 

‘I didn’t think I had a chance [to become a model], so I thought I would go to the US and then go back in a couple of months before my parents would know I left. 

‘I came to the US and the first thing that was written about me was a week later in Newsweek the only magazine my father reads and they were mortified, of course, that I lied my way out of the country, was on my own and I didn’t finish my Political Science education.’  

Of course Iman did succeed, becoming an iconic model and muse for fashion designers like Gianni Versace, Halston, Calin Klein, and Yves Saint Laurent. 

She was married to rock star David Bowie from 1992 and he shockingly passed away at the age of 69, on January 10, 2016, after an 18-month battle with cancer. 

Iman and David share 20-year-old daughter Alexandria Zahra Jones, known as Lexi, together, who is a budding artist based in California.

David also had a son, Duncan Jones, from a previous marriage while Iman shares her daughter Zulekha Haywood with a former love. 

Iman married the English rocker in a romantic ceremony in Lausanne, Switzerland in April 1992 which was later formalised in a wedding hosted in Florence in June.
