Elle Macpherson proved why she remains one of the most enduring icons in fashion as she celebrated her 62nd birthday on Sunday March 29, 2026. The Australian supermodel marked the milestone in true Elle style, taking to Instagram to share a series of striking images that showcased both her timeless beauty and her extraordinary career.
Among the standout posts was a bold black-and-white image of the WelleCo founder posing in a textured fur jacket and low-rise black trousers, confidently embracing her signature effortless glamour. True to form, Elle let the image speak for itself, opting for a caption-free post.

From iconic magazine covers to candid snapshots, the clip served as both a celebration of her journey and a reminder of her lasting influence on the fashion world.
Adding to the birthday festivities, Elle shared a series of Stories that captured her relaxed, sun-soaked lifestyle – including bikini photos from the Bahamas and a playful take on the popular "What were you like when you were younger?" trend.

In a recent interview with HELLO!, she reflected on what her sixties mean to her – and why this chapter feels more fulfilling than ever.

Once famously dubbed "The Body", Elle has since shifted her focus towards a deeper sense of purpose.

Now based in Florida, Elle has embraced a lifestyle centred around wellness, simplicity and the outdoors – something she says feels reminiscent of her Australian roots.

Her go-to essentials remain refreshingly understated: "A surfer-girl triangle bikini, a great, old pair of jeans and a white T-shirt, minimal make-up."
