Duran Duran drummer Roger Taylor walked his daughter, Ellea, down the aisle this week – leaving fans shocked with his impressively youthful look.<\/p>\n

Makeup artist Ellea, 33, married her long-term boyfriend, bodybuilder and personal trainer Shiro Miller, in a breathtaking castle ceremony surrounded by family, friends – and of course, the iconic band themselves.<\/p>\n

Ellea – daughter of Roger’s ex-wife, Giovanna Cantone – looked radiant for her big day in a strapless ivory gown with a sweeping train and delicate veil.<\/p>\n

But it was Roger, 65, who found himself the centre of attention.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Once crowned Britain’s fifth most eligible bachelor by the high society magazine Tatler in 2004 – in a list that also included\u00a0Prince William<\/a> and Hugh Grant<\/a>\u00a0– he sported a healthy head of brown hair and cut a dashing figure in a classic black tuxedo as he escorted his daughter down the flower-lined pathway.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Duran Duran’s Instagram account shared pictures of the wedding – held on Monday in the mother of the bride’s home country,\u00a0Italy<\/a> – with the caption: \u2018Ellea + Shiro September 1, 2025\u2019.<\/p>\n

But fans appeared more impressed by Roger’s look. One woman wrote: ‘Roger has aged like a fine wine.’ Another added: ‘So handsome!’ while another said: ‘He literally hasn’t aged!’<\/p>\n

‘Roger looks so proud and very handsome! He would make best Bond ever! He\u2019s always my view to a thrill,’ read another cheeky comment.<\/p>\n

In one touching image, Ellea is seen smiling serenely, clutching a bouquet of white roses as she links arms with her father outside a stone fortress.<\/p>\n

Another shows her and Shiro beaming as they make their first walk together as husband and wife, hand in hand beneath a canopy of flowers, with friends and relatives cheering them on.<\/p>\n

Shiro, who is a competitive bodybuilder and also works as a personal trainer, wore a tuxedo and bow tie – and couldn\u2019t hide his delight as he gazed at his new bride, his arm proudly around her waist.<\/p>\n

The celebrations carried on into the evening, with the couple pictured laughing together at the reception.\u00a0<\/p>\n

One candid black-and-white snap captured them sharing a joyful moment with a flower girl, giving a glimpse of the glamorous party atmosphere.<\/p>\n

Also spotted among the guests was Duran Duran keyboardist Nick Rhodes, 63, instantly recognisable with his shock of platinum blonde hair.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In one playful moment, he was seen leaning in and joking with Ellea as she threw her head back in laughter.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Ellea\u2019s mother Giovanna, a stylist, married Roger in 1984 but they later divorced in the mid-1990s. As well as Ellea, they have two sons, James and Elliott, who were part of Ellea’s wedding party.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Roger married Peruvian socialite Gisella Bernales, with whom he has one son, Julian, in 2007.<\/p>\n

The ceremony was a proud moment for Ellea’s famous father, who was Duran Duran’s drummer from their inception in 1979 until 1985 when he took a break to live a quieter life in the countryside.<\/p>\n

The ceremony was a proud moment for Roger, who was Duran Duran’s drummer from their inception in 1979 until 1985 when he took a break to live a quieter life<\/p>\n

He returned to the band in 2001 for a full reunion of the classic 1980\u20131985 line-up of Simon Le Bon, Nick Rhodes and all three Taylors, which led to a string of successful concert tours and the 2004 album Astronaut, which reached number three in the UK and the top 40 in numerous other countries.<\/p>\n

Duran Duran show no signs of slowing down.
