The funny thing is fashion designers did not create wedding gowns for pregnant women those days and poor Bianca went to church bare under her jacket! http://thestorkmagazine.com/2012/03/15/maternity-fashion-pregnant-brides/ - Naya_Dask, Nov 17, 2013
Is that Bianca??? - Jraider, Nov 17, 2013
Yes Jraider. It's Bianca Jagger in an Yves St. Laurent skirt suit. She didn't fit in the blouse. :) - Naya_Dask, Nov 17, 2013
She was on British TV this morning - she has changed quite a bit. - ian-hill, Nov 17, 2013
They don't look very happy :-{{!! - Jraider, Nov 17, 2013
