When Elle Macpherson first became a model in the late Eighties, she quickly gained the nickname ‘The Body’ because of her car-crash curves.
But 20 years on as a successful 45-year-old entrepreneur and mother-of-two, it seems the Australian beauty isn’t quite so willing to show off her famous figure.
On a rare trip home to her hometown of Sydney, the supermodel covered up her stunning body in a billowing blue dress.
Posing on the red carpet of the Prixe de Marie Claire Awards at the Royal Hall of Industries, the stunning supermodel’s toned figure was hidden under the Gucci silk chiffon kaftan dress.
To match the volume of the dress, the age-defying model gave her blonde locks a size boost with luscious curls.
Elle was one of the many presenters at the awards, which celebrated the best fashion and beauty products.
She was joined by her father Peter Gow, brother Ben Macpherson and sister-in-law Belynda.
As well as presenting an award, Elle also picked up one up for the Elle Macpherson Intimates range.
Also at the bash as X Factor judge Dannii Minogue, 37, and her boyfriend Kris Smith, 30.
When photographers asked Elle to pose alongside Dannii at the event, the supermodel protested, saying her 6ft height would look silly next to the 5ft 2 singer.
Ell said: ‘I’ll make her look like a little girl.’
The singer showed off her new short haircut in a striking black dress with a cut-out back and tail with oversized shoulder pads.
Kylie’s little sister has been in her native Australia for several months to film her role as a judge on Australia’s Got Talent.
Meanwhile, Elle has been holidaying in her hometown with her two sons Flynn, 11, and Aurelius, five, before they go back to school in London next week.
During her Easter trip down under, Elle has been spending time with her parents Peter and Frances Macpherson and hosted a fundraising party for a children’s charity.
Elle has also been taking water-skiing lessons in the beachside suburb of Cronulla, where she was born.
