Are they for wheel? Roberto Cavalli, 73, and younger girlfriend Lina Nilson, 26, take to their Segways for a picturesque ride across Cannes harbour

Roberto Cavalli did his best to prove the old adage that age is just a number on Sunday when he made a rather memorable appearance in Cannes with his significantly younger girlfriend.

The 73-year-old designer took to an environmentally friendly Segway with glamorous brunette Lina Nilson – who at a comparatively tender 26 is 47-years younger than the Italian.

Given their picturesque surrounds the couple were in a relaxed mood as they navigated their curious mode of transport across the coastal town’s Croissette.

Hard to miss: Roberto Cavalli, 73, and 26-year-old girlfriend Lina Nilson take to their Segways for a ride around Cannes on Saturday

Riding side by side, Roberto and Lina drew something of a crowd during their latest outing on the French Riviera, ostensibly to attend the 67th annual Cannes Film Festival.

Roberto, whose right leg was heavily bandaged, later grappled with the lead belonging to his Alsatian dog as he and Lina made their way back to the luxury yacht aboard which they’ve been residing.

While he is notorious for wearing next to nothing, the designer was reasonably well covered in a padded jacket and black top, while cut-off denim shorts rounded off the ensemble.

This is how you do it: The couple look like a pair of old pros

Lina was equally relaxed in a white jacket and cropped denim shorts that revealed a pair of lithe legs.

Roberto’s girlfriend was previously spotted tanning her nicely toned body on the top deck of their boat in a pair of printed shorts that enhanced her pert derriere.

Her look was rounded off with a casual black top and flats as she padded from one side of the boat to the other looking every inch the lady of leisure.

Last year Roberto and Lina were willing to show off just how intimate they are with each other as Roberto exposed himself to his younger lover and she happy gave a helping hand to clean his private areas while holidaying in Porto Cervo, Italy.

With his body reasonably tanned, the designer flashed his white bottom for the world to see as Lina got in and gave him a very personal rub down.

Elsewhere Roberto recently passed judgement upon the Duchess of Cambridge - commenting that she should be more alluring with her style choices.

‘A princess should be sexy,’ he told Vogue magazine, before adding: ‘She is young, she is beautiful – I would like to create something special for her.'

Helping hand: Lina was spotted showering the Italian designer last June

Even if his GF were 56 she'd still seem highly inappropriate.

Old men like this think this makes them look younger and more successful. Quite the opposite.

I'm sure that he showers her with gifts, but I doubt he expects nothing in return. No matter how much money I was getting, there's no way I could be intimate with someone old enough to be my grandfather. And the Duchess is stunning and classy. She needs no help from him.
