In your experience with coupledom, how much does one person’s style influence the other?
When you’re with someone, you become like them and they become like you. With my first long-term boyfriend, we picked up each other’s habits and style sense.
Are there any styles women should be hauling their guys back into the dressing room for wearing?
No. You don’t marry someone for what they wear but for who they are. If I loved someone and they wanted to go in jeans and a T-shirt to a cotillion ball, I would say, “Whatever.”
What qualities do you consider to be must-haves in your ideal mate?
A good sense of humour, somebody who can take a joke and is lighthearted.
Is there an ideal couple you look toward for inspiration?
My mother and father [Sharon and Ozzy]. They love each other and are accepting of each other’s flaws. They are still so much in love, it makes me sick sometimes [laughs]. It’s really so lovely to see. They are who I look up to big time.
So what’s the secret to their success?
I truly believe they are soulmates. I can’t imagine my dad without my mum, my mum without my dad. They do everything together, everything together.
