AGELESS BEAUTY SECRETS REVEALED: Elle Macpherson, 61, Stuns at ELLE Style Awards with Radiant Complexion

Supermodel Elle Macpherson is known for her ageless looks, and she's just proven that she still has it! The 61-year-old beauty queen stunned the crowd at the ELLE Style Awards in Madrid, Spain on Wednesday night, looking decades younger than her years.

The mother of two opted for a chic ensemble consisting of a sequinned black jacket and matching trousers, which she paired with towering designer heels featuring a leaf motif. Her blonde hair cascaded down in mermaid waves, adding to her effortlessly chic vibe. To complete the look, Elle carried a gold Malone Souliers clutch that coordinated perfectly with her chunky bangles.

But it's not just her fashion sense that's got everyone talking – Elle's age-defying beauty secrets are being spilled left and right! The model has always been open about her commitment to natural living and wellness. In fact, she recently revealed on social media that when she feels unwell, her skin responds accordingly. "When I'm not feeling my best, it will often result in dry, agitated skin," Elle shared.

So, what's the secret to Elle's radiant complexion? The model has credited her ageless beauty to nourishing her body correctly and supplementing with natural vitamins. She recently opened up about her dramatic transformation after switching to a new nutrition plan on NBC's Megyn Kelly Today.

"I wasn't feeling very well and I wasn't looking very well," Elle confessed. "I noticed my skin, hair, and weight... I was just not feeling inspired, I had sugar cravings, and poor digestion." But with the help of her nutritionist, Elle made some significant changes to her lifestyle, including switching to a powerful multivitamin, prebiotic, and probiotic powder.

The results were nothing short of miraculous! After just one month on this new plan, Elle's life was "transformed." Her friend, who is now her CEO, even noticed the change and asked Elle what she was doing differently. "I told her I was taking this green powder and it's changed my life," Elle shared.

So, how does Elle maintain her youthful glow? For starters, the model starts each day with a 25-minute meditation session in bed to take care of her mind, body, and spirit. She then cycles to the beach for a 6:30 am swim or stays closer to home and practices yoga in the morning sun.

Exercise is an essential part of Elle's daily routine – she prefers to do it outside and in nature by hiking, biking, swimming, or simply sitting in fresh air and sunshine. And when time permits, she indulges in regular sessions in her infrared sauna as well as a cold plunge to "reset." Her diet consists mainly of plant-based meals made with locally grown and organic veggies, handpicked from her local farmer's market.

But what about beauty routines? Elle is a big believer in energy healing and regularly books appointments for acupuncture, chiropractic, breath work, and sound healing. She also practices Russian Banyas, an ancient tradition of steam bathing using dry tree or herb branches called veniks. And, of course, her go-to skincare routine includes juicing up to four times a day, dry body brushing, and following a $1,400 skincare regimen from Dr Barbara Sturm.

So, what's the final secret to Elle's ageless beauty? A smile! The model winds down each evening with a relaxing routine that involves drinking a cup of WelleCo calming Tea and putting her hands on her solar plexus to think about what she's grateful for. And just before drifting off to sleep, Elle always remembers to "smile."

Elle has previously spilled some of her beauty philosophy

'When it comes to beauty, I have always believed that when you're well within, it shows on your skin,' she wrote on social media

'Like anyone, I've experienced both sides to this coin so when I'm not feeling my best, it will often result in dry, agitated skin' she said

'Healthy, glowing skin is both a reflection of your spirit and the supreme intelligence of the natural world expressing itself through you' Elle added

Elle has attributed her ageless beauty to nourishing her body correctly and supplementing with natural vitamins

The model also explained that she avoids caffeine, eats her last meal at 5pm, and relaxes with a hot chocolate before drifting away

She said she has no set schedule when it comes to exercise and prefers to 'go with the flow' and swears by regular sessions in her infrared sauna as well as a cold plunge to 'reset'

An 'essential' part of Elle's day and to beat the 3pm slump is to perform an East Asian tea ceremony with her favourites being Rooibos tea in vanilla and earl grey
