Former Libertines rocker Pete Doherty unrecognisable in new photos

The former Libertines frontman has put his hard-partying days behind him, and looked very different at a Paris fashion show today.

Pete Doherty joined his wife Katia de Vidas at a fashion show in Paris today.

The indie hero, famous for fronting The Libertines and Babyshambles, had a prize place on the front row.

Pete – who has abandoned his hard-living days in London for the good life in the French countryside – looked a little different to his Noughties heyday.

However, he was dressed in two of his signature items – wearing a trilby hat and a matching smart jacket.

He looked happy and relaxed alongside Katia, at one point taking off his hat to reveal his trademark unkempt hair.

The pair were in the French capital to see luxury goods giant Celine’s winter 2023 ready-to-wear men’s fashion show.

The former Libertines frontman, who once dated supermodel Kate Moss, married Katia in 2021.

The pair tied the knot at a secret ceremony at a church in France, where they lived after moving to idyllic Normandy.

Katia is also a musician and is part of his band Puta Madres, where she plays the piano and keyboard.

Last year, Pete announced the news that she was pregnant with their first child while on stage in Strasbourg.

The star is already a dad to son Astile, 19, from a relationship with Lisa Moorish and daughter Aisling, 11, with model Lindi Hingston.

Instead of booze, the former songwriter recently told how these days he enjoys “a nice glass of water” as part of a more healthy lifestyle.

Pete also admitted he’d would love fast food – but can’t held hold of any in the area of Normandy where he lives.

He said: “I’d have a Big Mac if I could, but I can’t. The nearest McDonald’s is 40 minutes away.”
