‘CATWOMAN’ Jocelyn Wildenstein showed off her 26+ carat yellow diamond during a romantic dinner with her toyboy last night.
Jocelyn, 84, put on a glam display in a brown fur coat and black leather trousers as she dined out with her fiancé Lloyd Klein, 57, in Paris.
The socialite also wore a leopard print top and toted her essentials around in a designer handbag for the outing.
Lloyd, who she’s been engaged to since 2017, looked suave in a black jacket, bow tie and jeans.
Jocelyn shot to fame due to having extensive cosmetic surgery on her face, believed to have spent millions on facelifts, giving her high cheek bones and ‘cat-eyes’ that give her a feline resemblance.
However, she has previously denied ever having plastic surgery, or having a surgery addiction, but has vowed she won’t stop going under the knife.
In 2023, she posted a photo of herself as a teenager as “proof” she always had high features, accusing people of photoshopping her to look worse.
Jocelyn and Lloyd have been together since 2003, four years after her messy divorce from Alec Wildenstein, a French billionaire businessman and art dealer who she married in a Las Vegas elopement in 1978.
The pair were together for 21 years before their marriage came to an abrupt end when she caught him sleeping with a model in their New York home.
He later threatened her with a gun during the altercation and spent a night in jail as a result.
In the aftermath, Jocelyn set a record for divorce settlements in the US, becoming one of America’s most wealthiest woman.
She reportedly secured a £2billion divorce payment and £80million a year in maintenance – at one point owning three apartments in Trump Tower.
Jocelyn claimed to Vanity Fair that her high cheekbones and feline like features were actually due to genetics from her Swiss grandmother, though acknowledged having a facelift to appear younger for her then husband.
But in the same interview, conducted in 1998, her ex-husband Alec claimed she was “rearranging her face like a piece of furniture”.
She met Lloyd in 2003 at New York Fashion Week, and they got engaged in 2017, but are yet to walk down the aisle, after postponing their originally planned 2018 marriage.
The fashion designer proposed with a 32 carat ring which he claims is worth “millions” and requires security guards when she’s not wearing it.
However, their relationship hasn’t always run smoothly, with Jocleyn getting arrested and her mugshot released in December 2016 after she reportedly ‘slashed Klein with scissors’.
However, the charges were later dropped with no further investigation, and he proposed just months later.
ALL flights to Florida from the UK have been cancelled after the majority of airports confirmed they would be ceasing operations this morning.
A state of emergency has been declared ahead of category 5 Hurricane Milton expected to make landfall today.
The storm is set to be one of the worst in 100 years to hit the Tampa area, with more than six million people warned to evacuate.
Disney World has closed its park until at least tomorrow, along with Universal Orlando.
And airlines including TUI, British Airways and Virgin Atlantic have been forced to cancel more flights.
Most airports in the state have already closed.
Orlando Airport have stopped all operations, effective from 8am today.
The airport is yet to confirm when they will reopen.
Tampa Airport said on social media: “We will suspend flight operations at 9 a.m. Tuesday and reopen when safe to do so.”
Melbourne Orlando Airport, which TUI currently flies to, has also closed.
They said in a statement: “MLB will close to commercial flight operations at 2PM on Wednesday and will reopen at 9AM on Friday.”
This has resulted in a number of cancellations from UK airlines.
This includes the following Virgin Atlantic flights:
Wednesday 9 October
Thursday 10 October
A Virgin Atlantic spokesperson asked passengers to “check the status of their flights” before travelling.
British Airways has cancelled the following flights.
Wednesday 9 October
Thursday 10 October
A British Airways spokesperson said they were “adjusting flight schedules” and offering flight rebooking options or full refunds.
TUI has already cancelled a flight today, with more being ‘watched’ although are also likely to be cancelled, including:
A spokesperson said they were contacting customers directly who are affected.
Wednesday 9 October
Thursday 10 October
Other airlines that operate flights from the UK to Florida include American Airlines, Delta, JetBlue, Spirit Airlines, Norse Airways and Finnair, who have also cancelled flights.
Hurricane Milton is expected to make landfall just south of the city on Wednesday night.
Storm surges of 15ft are expected, with winds up to 165mph.
The storm was upgraded back to a Category 5 hurricane on Tuesday, hours after being downgraded to a Category 4 earlier in the day.
The National Hurricane Center (NHC) said: “It will be an extremely dangerous hurricane when it reaches shore”.
A look at your rights if a flight is delayed or cancelled, when your entitled to compensation and if your travel insurance can cover the costs.
What are my rights if my flight is cancelled or delayed?
Under UK law, airlines have to provide compensation if your flight arrives at its destination more than three hours late.
If you’re flying to or from the UK, your airline must let you choose a refund or an alternative flight.
You will be able to get your money back for the part of your ticket that you haven’t used yet.
So if you booked a return flight and the outbound leg is cancelled, you can get the full cost of the return ticket refunded.
But if travelling is essential, then your airline has to find you an alternative flight. This could even be with another airline.
When am I not entitled to compensation?
The airline doesn’t have to give you a refund if the flight was cancelled due to reasons beyond their control, such as extreme weather.
Disruptions caused by things like extreme weather, airport or air traffic control employee strikes or other ‘extraordinary circumstances’ are not eligible for compensation.
Some airlines may stretch the definition of “extraordinary circumstances” but you can challenge them through the aviation regulator the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA).
Will my insurance cover me if my flight is cancelled?
If you can’t claim compensation directly through the airline, your travel insurance may refund you.
Policies vary so you should check the small print, but a delay of eight to 12 hours will normally mean you qualify for some money from your insurer.
Remember to get written confirmation of your delay from the airport as your insurer will need proof.
If your flight is cancelled entirely, you’re unlikely to be covered by your insurance.
