Elle Macpherson showed why she earned the nickname 'The Body' in her latest photoshoot for ELLE Spain

Elle Macpherson: The Original Supermodel's Secret to Ageless Beauty Revealed!

Get ready for a dose of inspiration, folks! The one and only Elle Macpherson, 61, is still turning heads with her stunning looks and sassy attitude. In a jaw-dropping photoshoot for ELLE Spain, the Aussie supermodel shows us why she earned the nickname "The Body" way back in 1989.

In three sultry covers for the July issue, Elle flaunts her enviable physique in an emerald mini dress with a high collar and tasselled detail. She also rocks a grey mini skirt paired with a dark brown cloak and gladiator sandals - talk about making an entrance!

But it's not just her looks that have us swooning; it's her inspiring words of wisdom, too. When asked about menopause, Elle revealed, "I prefer to see it as a rebirth: a process to be celebrated, not feared or silenced." Ah, we love a woman who owns her power!

Elle's remarkable career has spanned an impressive 43 years - and she shows no signs of slowing down. In fact, she's just getting started! "I never imagined that my professional career would span 43 years. And there's more to come," she said with a wink.

So, what's the secret to her ageless beauty? For starters, Elle gave up alcohol over two decades ago - a decision she calls "pivotal." She explained, "Living without escapes or shortcuts has been a profound experience of faith and hope."

The model posed for three different covers for the July issue; one in black jeans and a faux fur coat

But it's not just about giving up vices; Elle credits her natural approach to aging for her stunning looks. Unlike some of her peers, Elle hasn't gone under the knife - and she's proud of it! On This Morning, she confessed, "I haven’t always looked after my skin. I spent far too much time in the sun... But I haven’t done any plastic surgery, not that I have any judgement - it just hasn’t been my choice."

And yet, despite her incredible physical transformation over the years (hello, 20s body!), Elle is grateful for the changes she's experienced. As a mother to sons Flynn and Aurelius, she knows that her body has "birthed two incredible boys and lived through amazing stages of fashion and fitness." Ah, what an inspiration!

So, what does it take to stay looking like Elle at 61? For starters, she credits her daily exercise routine - and by that, we mean a little bit every day, not just on weekends! "I try and do some exercise every day, but thank goodness I don’t have the same body as in my 20s," she chuckled.

In another look, she sported a floral mini dress with a plunging neckline

And then there's her plant-based diet, which has been a game-changer for her health and wellbeing. She confessed, "When I turned 50 I realised things I did in my 20s weren’t working anymore... So I follow a plant-based alkaline diet, focusing on healthy, whole food."

But it's not just about the food - Elle is all about self-care, too! She takes green powder and protein powder every day, drinks three liters of water daily, and even does yoga in the evening. And let's not forget her love for the outdoors - hiking, walking dogs, swimming laps... she's a true blue Aussie at heart!

So there you have it, folks - Elle Macpherson's secret to ageless beauty: a combination of natural living, self-care, and a positive attitude! For more inspiration from this incredible supermodel, head over to thescholarlynote.com.
