Carmen Dell’Orefice has been a cover girl for nearly 70 years. At just 15 years old, she landed the cover of Vogue and has only grown more beautiful with age.
She’s been called the world’s “oldest working model” and, rather than fighting age, she’s embracing it. In an interview with the Daily Mail’s YOU Magazine, Dell’Orefice was quoted as saying, “I’ve had more covers in the past 15 years than I had in all the years before that.”
Her most recent cover (New You magazine) is going viral and sparking an important conversation about age and beauty — and the beauty that can come from aging.
“Everyone is transfixed by her presence,” the editorial in New You marvels. “Those arresting cheekbones, her signature, full-bodied white hair; long and graceful limbs; that exquisite smile.”
It’s true, most fashion models are nearing the end of their careers by 23. But Carmen Dell’Orefice could change the way society imagines beauty.
