Elle Macpherson, 61, looks decades younger as she makes glamorous appearance at launch of her new book in London

Daily Mail​12-06-2025
She's the Australian supermodel who rose to fame on the international fashion scene in the 1980s.
And now Elle Macpherson is wowing fans as an author.
The ageless 61-year-old recently appeared in London as the special guest for a 'super women' breakfast to promote her 2024 memoir, Elle: Life, Lessons & Learning to Trust Yourself.
Held at the prestigious Soho Mews House, the Sydney-born fashionista cut an elegant figure in cream slacks and a matching low cut top.
Elle looked much younger than her years as she paired the outfit with a stylish overcoat.

Letting her long tresses fall over her shoulders, Elle accessorised with an elaborate silver necklace.
The leggy runway star later shared a gallery of images from the event, in which she could be seen giving a talk about her 'wellness philosophy'.
She also included a video of a question and answer session.
Meanwhile, Elle recently opened up about using cocaine during her modelling years late last month.
The supermodel spoke at length about her addiction and journey to getting sober in her memoir, Elle: Life, Lessons & Learning to Trust Yourself.
In one chapter, she revealed she would frequently get black-out drunk and drink 'shots of vodka' after putting her sons Cy and Flynn to bed when they were young.
She went on to confess in November on The Kyle and Jackie O Show that she used cocaine in the past for weight loss.
Radio host Kyle Sandilands told her: 'I made the mistake, and I'm happy to admit it, that I thought I'd lose weight by having cocaine for ten years.
'Now, did I lose the weight? No, I didn't. I got the bloat.'
In response, Elle admitted: 'I've done that!'
In her memoir, Elle - who was dubbed 'The Body' at the peak of her fame - detailed the depths of her addiction before giving up alcohol and getting sober in 2003.
She shared her habit of drinking shots at night while with her now ex Arpad 'Arki' Busson—the father of her children.
'My life looked amazing to everybody. On the outside I was doing a beautiful job but, deep down inside, I was really struggling,' she wrote in her book.
She also explained why she controversially turned to holistic healing methods rather than chemotherapy after getting diagnosed with breast cancer in 2017.
'It wasn't like there was a one size fits all golden bullet... that you could just take and say, "Okay, this is going to guarantee upper wellness at the end of it,"' she said.
'Sometimes it's a combination; it's not either-or, maybe it's a combination of things.'

Conde Nast mocked for advertising Anna Wintour's iconic Vogue role to the public on LinkedIn

Ready for your next career move? Maybe the Head of Editorial Content for US Vogue is the position for you. The hiring process has begun for Anna Wintour 's highly-coveted role at Vogue after the style icon stepped down from one of her positions at the fashion bible following 37 years at the helm. While it's expected that a high-profile editor already known to the company is likely to be appointed the position, job seekers were amused to find Condè Nast are advertising the role to the public on LinkedIn. The position was posted on the social networking platform, which is specifically designed for professionals, and shared by the official Condè Nast account. Featuring a collage of pink couture dresses in various shades, the banner across the center read: 'We are hiring.' 'Condè Nast is hiring a Head of Editorial Content for US Vogue,' the accompanying text read, along with an email to send resumes to. While it's not unusual for roles to be shared on the platform, the seniority and prestige of the role being shared to the general public had prospective applicants amused. 'Crying at Condè Nast pretending to consider applications for the top Vogue job from people on LinkedIn,' one user posted, sharing a screenshot to X, formerly known as Twitter. 'Acting like they're not finishing up negotiations with the candidate already,' one user joked in response. 'What if all of this is just marketing for Devil's Wear Prada 2?' chimed in another. 'So weird seeing this role advertised, I thought it would have been recruited behind closed doors,' observed another. Someone else agreed, writing: 'Can't wait for us to hear about the replacement they 100% selected before posting this and we find out it's a big name who probably hasn't seen a job application in decades.' 'A million girls would kill for this job,' wrote another, using an iconic line from The Devil Wears Prada, said to be based off Wintour herself. Last week, Wintour told staffers that she will be hiring a new head of editorial content at American Vogue. She will continue to hold her position as Condé Nast's global chief content officer and global editorial director at Vogue, and the new head of editorial content will report directly to her. As chief content officer, Wintour oversees every brand globally, including Wired, Vanity Fair, GQ, AD, Condé Nast Traveler, Glamour, Bon Appetit, Tatler, World of Interiors and Allure - among others. Last week, Wintour told staffers that she will be hiring a new head of editorial content at American Vogue She will continue to hold her position as Condé Nast's global chief content officer and global editorial director at Vogue, and the new head of editorial content will report directly to her Wintour first became editor in chief of Vogue in 1988 and is credited with completely transforming the famed fashion magazine. She is also behind making the Met Gala what it is today - a red carpet event attended by the fashion elite, as she handpicks the celebrities and makes sure to greet them personally. Wintour's first job was on the now-defunct Harpers & Queen. Before she took over at Vogue as editor-in-chief, she was its creative director. She then went back home to British Vogue, where she served as editor-in-chief from 1985 to 1987, before rejoining American Vogue. Her famed covers included appearances from A-listers such as Oprah Winfrey, Madonna, Ivana Trump, Kate Moss, Naomi Campbell, Christy Turlington and Cindy Crawford.

Bachelor star gets her happily ever after as she announces engagement after failing to find love with Sam Wood

Nina Rolleston has found love after striking out with Sam Wood on The Bachelor back in 2015. The former reality star shared the good news of her engagement in an Instagram post this week. Posing alongside her partner in photos taken in Fiji, Nina did not reveal her fiancé's name. Nina had kept her budding romance under wraps before revealing her engagement. She added the caption 'hard launch' alongside the festive images, in which she showed off her diamond engagement ring. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. The happy couple cuddled up and shared kisses in the series of images which were taken against the gorgeous Fijian backdrop. After appearing on The Bachelor, Nina went on to also star on a season of Bachelor in Paradise in 2018. She has since left the limelight and now works for SILK Laser Clinics. It comes after Nina exposed the truth behind life in the famous Hunter's Hill mansion. In a tell-all interview, she claimed that the 25 women were forced to live in 'asylum-style' accommodation and shared just one washing machine between them. Speaking on the Confessions of a Twenty Something Train Wreck podcast, Nina added that filming took place 'five days a week' and rose ceremonies would often last until 3am. 'We filmed five days per week with a two-day break, which wasn't always a Saturday or Sunday but it was always two consecutive days,' Nina said. She also revealed that the limited laundry facilities put a strain on the girls, who were often struggling to find clean clothes to wear. 'We had to do our own laundry and stuff like that. We only had one washing machine between 20-odd women. It's a lot of laundry,' she said. Nina explained that the frequent 'outfit changes' demanded by producers turned the laundry problem into a full-blown nightmare. She also spoke about the living arrangements during The Bachelor's third season. 'So if you think of, like, school camp crossed with a psychiatric asylum, that's what it feels like!' she laughed. Nina added: 'In my season, in the Hunter's Hill mansion, we had three bedrooms between 25 women. In my room, we had five girls: two bunk beds and a single bed.' She claimed that one of the other bedrooms actually housed '10 people'. Elsewhere in the interview, Nina addressed the insufficient number of bathrooms in the mansion, saying: 'Then we had four bathrooms between 25 girls.' She also explained why the female contestants would often look 'bleary eyed' and 'tired' during the rose ceremonies. 'People always say we look really tired in rose ceremonies. You have to understand that we've done a cocktail party and you have to wait for the sun to go down [for that]. You've never seen a cocktail party during daylight,' she said. 'We're in Sydney with daylight savings, so the sun doesn't go down completely until 9pm and we're sitting around literally waiting for the sun to go down. 'Then we have to do a cocktail party, where the Bachelor [Sam Wood] has to go around and speak to everybody. Then all the drama...' Nina estimated that the rose ceremony wouldn't usually begin until after midnight, after all the cocktail party footage had been captured. 'By the time we actually get to a rose ceremony. It's probably between 1am to 3am,' she explained. 'We've been in these outfits all day. So if you were the first person to go through to hair and makeup at 10am, you've actually had that on for all day, all night! 'Then you have those shoes and your feet are killing you. So you would be standing there on those stairs after you've just been filming, say, five or six hours at a cocktail party and then you're standing there.' Nina claimed that some departments would often halt filming if the shooting conditions weren't perfect. She said: 'You have to take into consideration, if one candle blows out, you've got the art department saying, "Stop! We have to re-light that candle". If a plane flies over, you've got the sound guys saying, "Stop!" 'If one of the girls' hair is out of place, or The Bachelor's tie is out of place, then wardrobe say, "Stop!" So everything takes so long.'

Wimbledon's VERY star-filled Royal Box! Olivia Rodrigo, Dave Grohl and Tom Daley lead the celebs and royals enjoying the best seats at Centre Court

The first three days of Wimbledon have seen plenty of action in SW19 at the All Lawn and Tennis Club - and plenty of famous faces have been spotted with hot seats to the court. On Wednesday, the famous Royal Box hosted royals, singers and an Olympian as Carlos Alcaraz returned to Centre Court in a head-to-head with Brit Oliver Tarvet after his thrilling first round match against Fabio Fognini. As the third day of play opened, Olivia Rodrigo enjoyed an intimate moment with boyfriend Louis Partridge as the couple held hands and cuddled up close. Fresh from her headlining slot at Glastonbury, Olivia, 22, was dressed to impress in a red and cream checkered dress, while Enola Holmes star Louis, also 22, was sartorially in sync with his girlfriend in a scarlet tie and navy suit. The couple - who first sparked dating rumors in October 2023 - looked completely smitten as they cosied up to one another in the stands. They weren't the only cute couple in attendance, with Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas looking more loved-up than ever. The couple only had eyes for each other before watching the action at the star-studded tournament, which was also attended by the likes of Dave Grohl and wife Jordyn Blum; Tom Daley and Princess Michael of Kent. Dave and his wife Jordyn returned to Wimbledon in their first public appearance together since it was revealed he has fathered a secret child with another woman. In a full circle moment, the pair had not been seen in public together since last July's outing at the tennis tournament - when fans noted the rocker appeared 'snappy and irritated'. Unbeknownst to onlookers at the time, the rocker had recently cheated on his wife. The following month, the Foo Fighters frontman, 56, welcomed a baby girl with Jennifer Young, a 38-year-old LA-based, rock-and-roll fan - leading him to post a public mea culpa admitting his affair in September. Since Dave's shock admission, the couple have been trying to get their marriage back on track, with sources sharing in February that Jordyn, 49, has 'forgiven' her husband. And the couple put on an united front as they joined a slew of stars for day three of the Wimbledon Championships on Wednesday, taking their seats in the famed Royal Box. Read on to discover the star-studded line-up in the famous seats at Centre Court for Day Three... Princess Michael of Kent Princess Michael of Kent, 80, whose full name is Marie Christine Anna Agnes Hedwig Ida von Reibnitz, is the wife of Prince Michael of Kent. She married Prince Michael, King Charles III's first cousin once removed, in 1978 and the couple share two children – Lady Gabriella Windsor and Lord Frederick Windsor. Lady Gabriella Windsor lost her husband, Thomas Kingston, a British diplomat and financier, in February 2024 when he was just 45. Princess Michael was once an interior designer and has since become an author, penning several books about European royalty. Last year she was also diagnosed with a heart problem and had surgery, and recently told Majesty Magazine's Ingrid Seward how she broke bones in both of her wrists after falling down the stairs in Kensington Palace. Dave and Jordyn Grohl Dave Grohl traded in his rockstar attire for a smart navy suit as The Foo Fighters frontman led the celebrity arrivals on day three of Wimbledon. The star was joined by his wife Jordyn Blum as the pair continue to work on their relationship almost a year after it was revealed Dave had fathered a child outside of their marriage. Christophe Gollut Princess Michael was joined by acclaimed Swiss decorator Christophe Gollut. Now one of the leading decorators in London, he first came to the British capital to study interior design at the Inchbald School in 1969 after studying law at Geneva University.

British former tennis player Deborah Jevans CBE, 65, has been at the hallowed location numerous times, as a former junior Wimbledon champion. She also played 10 times in the women's singles (between 1979 and 1983). Her best result was reaching the fourth round, when she lost to fifth-seeded Virginia Wade. Ms Jevans also played in the doubles event, reaching the quarter finals of the mixed doubles event in 1978, playing with her future husband and Wimbledon referee Andrew Jarrett. She became the first chairwoman of the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club Board in 2023, succeeding Ian Hewitt. In 2013, she was appointed Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE) in the New Year Honours due to her services to Sport and the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games', when she served as director of sports for the event. Priyanka Chopra-Jonas and Nick Jonas One day after they attended a special screening for her new movie Heads of State in London, Bollywood superstar Priyanka Chopra-Jonas and her popstar husband Nick Jonas upped the A-list quotient at Wimbledon. Priyanka, 42, and Nick, 32, were all-smiles as they made their way to Centre Court to watch men's world number one Carlos Alcaraz take on Britain's Oliver Tarvet in the second round. While Nick picked a navy blazer with white trousers for the event, Priyanka stunned in a flowing, white halterneck dress. John Cena and Shay Shariatzadeh Priyanka's Heads of State co-star John Cena also made his way to the Royal Box, with the American former wrestling champion and actor accompanied by his glamorous wife Shay Shariatzadeh. The group were seen posing for photos at the AELTC before heading to the box. John, 48, and Shay, 36, tied the knot in 2020. The pair are very private about their relationship and have only made a handful of appearances together - including yesterday's screening. Coordinating with her husband, engineer Shay looked stunning in a blue-and-white striped mini dress that she accessorised with pair of cream ballet flats. Dominic Cooper Mamma Mia! actor Dominic Cooper, 46, looked effortlessly cool in a powder blue suit as he took his seat in the Royal Box today.
