85-year-old model stun on the catwalk

At 85-years young, Carmen Dell’Orefice is the longest working model in history. The American born beauty graced the cover of US Vogue at just 15 years of age, and has since spent 70 years carving out her name in the fashion industry. Overcoming poverty, rejection and many tumultuous relationships, the supermodel continues to prove that age is an elegant accessory in its own right.

Watch the compilation video above to see Carmen knock her younger colleagues out of the water on the catwalk.

She has clearly had a bit of work done though. Do you think you can still embody the concept of ageing gracefully, even if you have had plastic surgery? Let us know what you think in the comments below.
