STUNNING 82-YEAR-OLD MODEL WHO HAS MODELED FOR 70 YEARS AND IS STIL MODELLING

82-year-old model,Carmen Dell’Orefice has been strutting her stuff for nearly 70 years, although she she made a few brief attempts at retirement. (the knee replacement notwithstanding). Carmen was on the cover of Vogue at age 15! And at an age where must of her contemporaries are long forgotten or dead, she is still fronting campaigns for luxury brands such as Rolex and walking the runway for Gaultier, Galliano and Mugler. How cool is that, right? 

At 13, the stunning model was spotted spotted by the wife of a photographer, getting off a bus in her native New York City; the following year, she sat for Salvador DalĂ­ – who gave her a painting in addition to the $7 she officially earned for modelling for him – before going on to work with the most celebrated photographers of the 20th century. 

Even though she has admitted to enhancing her bone structure with regular silicone injections for decades, and undergone a medical dermabrasion almost 50 years ago to banish wrinkles and sun damage, she’s still incredibly striking: tall and slim, with her trademark silver hair, with no trace of a sagging inch of neck or jawline. She's definitely the most beautiful elderly lady I have ever seen. Have you seen any 82-year-old that is sexier than this? More pic after the cut...
