According to top model Elle MacPherson, who is now, thirty years later, the same beauty as in the early eighties, all models in America had blond hair and blue eyes, it was difficult to distinguish the girls from each other. And now there is an opportunity to see beauty in all its diversity. She is confident that staying the same as before is helped by the correct daily routine that she has established for her family.

Her childhood

Elle Macpherson was born into a simple Australian family in Sydney (according to other sources - in Cronulla) in March 1963. The girl grew up freedom-loving, no one limited her freedom. About herself, El said that she grew up on the street. Her mother at that time was only seventeen, she, in fact, was still a child herself. Little El's mirkom were kids who grew up on the same street where she was. The girl hardly played with dolls, and she didn’t have any, only a teddy bear. But she had a bike that she rode,dressing up as a boy.

Elle MacPherson, whose photos are still striking in what physical form the former model is in, did not consider herself feminine as a child, but she was not a tomboy either. But the girl always wanted to be a leader.

During school, she devoted a lot of time to swimming lessons. Every day I got up at half past six in the morning and swam before the start of the lessons. She did not forget about netball (a kind of basketball popular in Australia). El often went to the ocean with friends, and there she went kayaking, water skiing or windsurfing. Even during the holidays, she spent time on the ocean, becoming (in her words) a "beach junkie."

At the same time, the girl studied well. Worried about her studies and knowledge, she tried to get only good grades, because she was sure that knowledge would help her choose the business in life that she wanted to do in order to earn a living and be independent.

I'm responsible for them

El was the firstborn in the family, then her mother gave birth to two more children. But it was she who felt responsible not only for herself, but also for her family. When my mother got married for the second time, she gave birth to another baby. And El, as the eldest, helped her mother with him.

McPherson's parents separated when she was only ten. From that moment on, she lived with her mother, who worked as a nurse, and with her stepfather, a lawyer, then with her father, a former rugby player who became a sound engineer andentrepreneur by opening his first store in his own garage. El still says that she had three parents. Her stepfather taught her to be a disciplined person, to be responsible for her deeds and actions. He always said that education is very important. Mom taught her to be flexible in dealing with people, to find something she likes. Dad was a good enough entrepreneur and hard worker, but he was also a rebel.

On the steps of a modeling career

Elle MacPherson, whose age makes it possible to doubt her passport numbers (she looks so great), has always been tall - 183 cm. In her youth, one of her friends advised her to work as a model in order to earn some money for her studies. The girl obeyed.

When Eleanor turned eighteen, she was able to sign her first contract with one of the Australian modeling agencies. Very soon, the aspiring model was already filming for the glamorous magazine ELLE. Due to the fact that her figure had perfect proportions (chest-waist-hips: 90-61-89), Eleanor began to be called the nickname "Body".

In the nineties of the last century, the girl led the Hot Ten charts, which became famous in a short period of time.

Cinema and TV screens

Elle MacPherson, whose films are known to many viewers, began working in cinematography a long time ago. Nearly a third of a century ago, she starred in Woody Allen's Alice. Of course, her role was a model. But later more serious work followed - Sheela in the film "Sirens", JulieMadison in Batman & Robin. You can see her in the series "Friends", however, here she was in the background. The audience was in awe of her Australian dancer Janine Lacroix. And just five years ago, Eleanor played the role of Magdalena in the film "Vampires from Hollywood".

Timeless Model

Looking at her photos, it becomes clear that El MacPherson has a secret of youth. But what is it?

She does sports every day. Sports - any that you like. Here it is important to sweat, and then take a shower in order to get rid of toxins accumulated in the human body. Then Eleonora rubs her body with a washcloth, also clearing the skin of dead cells and improving blood circulation. In doing so, she uses any available scrub. After this procedure, the moisturizer will penetrate the skin much better.

What kind of food does Elle MacPherson have? Every morning she drinks a liter of alkaline water. This speeds up the metabolism and reduces the level of acidity in the blood, the body absorbs nutrients much better. If there is no alkaline water, any purified water will do, only it should be at room temperature. After Eleonora takes a thin slice of rye bread with sunflower seeds and makes a toast with a poached egg (break one egg and pour it into a saucepan of boiling water, leave for three minutes, select with a colander spoon and transfer to toast). Fruit salads with grapefruit, kiwi or papaya will also be useful.

According to the model, it is this diet in the morning that allowskeep her young even at 55.

Her family

MacPherson Elya today is an ideal illustration for the novels of Alexander Grin, the little mermaid Assol. She was on the highest step of the fashion podium thirty years ago, but she was different from other models. She could not be associated with high fashion or shows in Paris. El is like a living embodiment of the Miami style with its cult of the sexy body, physical perfection, relaxation on the ocean shore.

Her first husband was French fashion photographer and art director of Elle magazine Gilles Bensimon. It is thanks to him that covers with Elle in a swimsuit against the backdrop of the surf have become a gloss classic, and now inspire photographers and stylists around the world.

They lived for seven years, and it was Gilles who helped Elle develop a certain vision of how good photos should look, how they should be placed on the magazine page. They spent a lot of time together. It was ELLE magazine in those years that was devoted to how to combine one thing with another correctly, how to wear them correctly, that is, it helped to develop your own style.

The second husband of the model was the financier Arpad Busson. In this marriage, they had two wonderful boys - Flynn and Sai. But this union also fell apart.

With their third husband, the owner of condominiums and hotels from Las Vegas to the Bahamas, Jeffrey Soffer - they got married five years ago, in 2013. And before that, they had a beautiful four-year romance, in which there was a pause for several months. But afterafter Jeffrey's helicopter crashed in the Bahamas, El immediately flew to Miami, where her beloved was taken for an operation, and offered her support and help. After recovering, Soffer proposed to Elle, "armed" with a giant diamond ring.

Tip from a model

McPherson Elle assures today's girls who want to look just as gorgeous at her age that it's important to look natural. You need to choose your style - that is, what the girl herself likes and looks good on her. Do not blindly follow fashion trends. If a girl has short hair, then it is quite possible to do haircuts. If she is satisfied with long curls, then you should not listen to the advice of others that haircuts are necessary after a certain age. You have to love your hair. And the best color is your own, because it is in perfect harmony with the color of the eyes and skin.

Eleanor is convinced that one should remain natural, using all the we alth that nature gave from the very beginning. And you should not try to look like the rest: you need to accept yourself for who you are. In addition, individuality is highly valued in society.
