Elle Macpherson, 59, makes stunning return to catwalk for the first time in 14 years at Melbourne Fashion Festival
Elle Macpherson was back on the catwalk at the PayPal Melbourne Fashion Festival on Monday.
The Australian model took to the catwalk for the first time in almost 14 years and opened the event at the Royal Exhibition Building.
The 59-year-old, who turns 60 this month, proved she’s still The Body as she strutted down the catwalk in a Viktoria + Woods ensemble.
The caramel-colored outfit consisted of two chunky wool sweaters, one of which was worn around her neck, and coffee-colored satin pants.
She threw on a loose brown coat over it and added a touch of drama as she took off her sunglasses.

Elle previously said she doesn’t understand why her return to the catwalk made headlines.
“The headline is ‘back to the catwalk’, but that’s not really the case,” she told the channel Sydney Morning Herald.
“This is just an evolution of doing things. Anyway, it’s been eleven years since I’ve run – or ten years, fifteen years, or whatever it is.”
“This felt really rewarding because I am passionate about supporting Australian fashion and young designers, and I love Melbourne.”
