She's famously declared that she lives in
just four of the 57 rooms in her £70 million sprawling mansion - but
one area of the property on Kensington Palace Gardens that's certainly
not gathering dust is Tamara Ecclestone's cavernous walk-in wardrobe.
The socialite, 32, invited stylist Josh Newis-Smith around for a tour for
InStyle UK, revealing her collections of dozens of Chanel handbags and espadrilles,
Valentino Rockstud heels and a Hermes bag personalised with an image of Tamara and her daughter Sophia - a gift from her husband Jay Rutland.
Billionaire heiress Tamara admitted handbags are her 'biggest extravagance' and with the average
Chanel
bag starting at £3,900 her collection is worth tens of thousands, while
her personalised Hermes likely set Jay back at least £20,000.
Amazingly, the fashion treasure trove is
Tamara's Spring/Summer wardrobe and she has a separate closet to house
her winter collection, and she admitted that she has so many clothes
that she regularly discovers things she's forgotten about when she goes
looking for something to wear.
'It's so fun finding things. It's like finding money in a purse you forgot about. It's great,' she explained.
Her
wardrobe has previously been valued at £5 million, but she insisted
that her daughter Sophia's wardrobe is even more extravagant, saying:
'It's, like, over a few rooms.'
Tamara, daughter of former Formula 1 boss
Bernie Ecclestone, 86, used the opportunity to show off her strapless
Vera Wang wedding dress, describing it as 'understated princess'.
But she balked at the suggestion she might be tempted to wear it to do the washing up.
'Even if I did the dishes I wouldn't do that,' she laughed.
However,
former Playboy model Tamara is not afraid to be hands-on when it comes
to motherhood, admitting she's 'obsessed' with her daughter Sophia,
three.
While we were impressed with her
elaborate footwear, she has plenty of fashion critics to hand to point
out when she doesn't get it right.
She explained that her assistant is 'brutal' and will tell her: 'No you look fat, get out of that.'
Tamara added that Sophia is already a budding critic, saying: 'You sometimes tell Mummy she looks crazy'.
