Supermodel Carmen's long legs are too eye-catching

Carmen Dell'Orefice, a global fashion legend, has been on the cover of Vogue since she was 15 and has been on the runway for 70 years, considered "the longest working model in the world".

Born in New York, the American Carmen is 5'8" tall and easily impressed with her delicate looks, in her twilight years, she is known for her signature silvery white hair, which is considered a model of elegance and calm.

Carmen has not been in the public eye for a long time, but on October 5, local time, she finally showed up and sparked a gasp upon her appearance ......

Now 91 years old, the supermodel wrapped in white sheets, half lying on a double bed, slender and slender legs dripping out, is very striking, at first glance it is difficult to feel that this is an old woman in her old age.

Carmen did not feel special about being asked to do this type of photo shoot at such an age, it seemed to her that she was cooperating with the photographers, "They all have high ambitions, they all want to present the perfect picture through the camera, and we are the silent actors, it's a synergy", Carmen said.

Carmen was unwittingly discovered by a photographer's wife when she was 13 years old, after which she started modeling and it became her way of supporting her family. As she recalls, she initially signed a contract for $7.50 per hour (53RMB at today's exchange rate), and because of her good image, the work came one after another.

But it wasn't enough to support her and her mother, and Carmen was roller-skating to her workplace instead of taking the bus to save money. This led to malnutrition, and according to photographers who worked with her, Carmen's skirts were often stuffed with tissues to "fill out her curves".

As her fame grew, so did her salary, but her thin body required medical attention and even injections to give her body its curves.

Despite Carmen's success at a young age, she didn't make much of a spark in the fashion industry later on because she couldn't be favored by the then well-known modeling agent, Irene Ford.

After three marriages, Carmen returned to modeling but did not do much until she was in her 60s when she was slowly taken seriously as a representative of the "aging gracefully" woman.

When Carmen appeared at Paris Fashion Week at the age of 85, the fashion magazines marveled, saying "she looks like a queen".

Carmen's long-awaited appearance also triggered a lively discussion, many people felt that she looked young, "like 60 years old", "no old look at all, still very energetic".

For her "aging", Carmen says it comes from "motherly love and self-love", "both men and women should care for themselves and love themselves". "One of the secrets to staying beautiful is to do something for your children, to nurture them with love.

Carmen and her first husband, Bill Myers, have a daughter, Laura. It is reported that despite her powerful and confident appearance, Carmen was financially exploited by her first husband, who took almost all of her earnings from modeling and left her only $50 a month.

While many praised Carmen's stunning condition, others felt the photos were distorted and that Carmen and her "legendary supermodel" Beverly Johnson, now 69, were over-retouched, with "too smooth a face.

Beverly was the first African-American model to appear on the cover of Vogue, and she has appeared on more than 500 magazine covers in her career, and was officially dubbed a "legendary supermodel" by the prestigious Model Rankings in January this year. The company has been a grandmother for a long time, but she does not avoid the external factors that keep her young, she said she has been adhering to medical beauty for more than 30 years.
