Why is Elle Macpherson looking so incredible at 44?

I haven’t got a clue as to why Elle Macpherson popped into my head a few days ago, but for some strange reason there she was occupying my thoughts. Could it be coincidence that I saw her on the red carpet event while watching one of those entertainment shows or was it simply a reminder that I need to write a post celebrating and glorious Elle looks at 44 (born 29 March 1964)!

If you were a teenager in the 80s, then you remember Elle Macpherson (born Eleanor Nancy Gow) as the leggy gal from down under who adorned the cover of the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issues in the USA six times (the last time in 2006)! I also remember Elle very well from the many Vogue and Bazaar features because she has an unforgettable face and an unforgettable body.

I also remember Elle from the Victoria Secret fashion shows and catalogues … I mean it’s hard to forget a woman who is 6’0 tall and who is all legs!

Elle had a very successful career as a model and she dabbled in acting (not quite as successful as her modelling career). Elle could have easily become a has-been or a model from the 80s who does regular appearances on the catwalk and with selected designers without having much more going for her (think Naomi Campbell), but Elle has managed to turn her infamous nickname “The Body” into a business by launching her own line of lingerie, intimate wear and perfume (fittingly called “The Body”).

Elle doesn’t make the list because of some witty comment she made about aging well or because of humanitarian work she’s done or even because she turned her life around in her 40s.

Elle Macpherson makes the Celebrity Beauty Match Pick list simply because she’s aging beautifully and at 44 she has a body that would make most 20-something men quite happy to pull an Ashton (aka referring to Ashton Kushner’s relationship and marriage to Demi Moore)!

Ladies, this is what 44 looks like (these are photos of Elle from the 2006 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue)
