10.Carmen Dell’Orefice-Age:83
If you’ve been wondering what a legend looks like, take a look below. Carmen Dell’Orefice is 83 years old and has been a supermodel for more than 60 years!
As a little girl, Carmen studied ballet and one day as she was riding the bus to her ballet lesson a woman approached her asking if she would like to model.
After the first session with the woman’s photographer-husband, Carmen was deemed as “un-photogenic” but that didn’t stop her.
In 1945 she gave modeling another shot when her godfather elected her to be presented to Carol Philips, a staff writer at Vogue.
Undoubtedly, the results were dynamite and no less than a week later she was being photographer for her first Vogue magazine spread of 7 pages.
Carmen was only 15 when she captured the first of her six Vogue covers and started working with definitive photographers of the day.
She did numerous campaigns for Revlon such as Queen of Diamonds, White Sable, Touch & Glow, Lanolite and Aquamarine Lotion.
She sacrificed her modeling career to become a mother but after the divorce she came back in business and never left since.
That’s all folks!
