Elle Macpherson, 54, shares a completely makeup free selfie

She recently declared that she ‘loves being 54’.

And Australian supermodel Elle Macpherson certainly appeared confident in her skin on Thursday, when she shared a completely makeup free selfie to Instagram.

The picture, taken during a school run, saw the five-time Sports Illustrated Swimsuit cover girl seated in her car and looking fresh-faced.

In the photo, Elle sports a red, black and white plaid smock top.

The mother-of-two’s signature blonde locks are swept back off her face, highlighting her makeup free visage.

Looking straight into the camera lens, Elle draws attention to her smooth complexion and naturally plump lips.

In an interview with The Herald Sun earlier this month, Elle, who was famously nicknamed ‘The Body’ by Time magazine back in 1989, admitted that she isn’t afraid of getting older.

‘I love being 54. I’m still here and I’m turning 55 and I’m just so grateful,’ Elle told the publication.

‘I’m strong, I’m fit, I have two amazing sons and I’ve learnt a lot along the way and I’m really grateful that I’m as happy and healthy as I am,’ she added. 

Last Friday, Elle launched her first WelleCo store in New York’s Soho neighbourhood.

Founded in 2014, WelleCo is a wellness company that specialises in plant-based elixirs that fight the effects of aging.  

Elle runs the health brand with Andrea Horwood and Dr. Simone Laubscher.

In an interview with Good Morning America earlier this month, Elle gushed about WelleCo’s product line.

‘We make all-in-one multivitamin and mineral probiotic and prebiotic powders that you can put in water or your smoothies that help fortify your diet and support your system,’ she said.

‘WelleCo sees the correlation between wellness and beauty. What I’ve found through personal experience is that if you can nourish your body completely from the inside, it changes the way you look and the way you feel.’ 

Elle shares two sons Flynn, 20, and Cy, 15, with London-based French financier Arpad Busson. They began dating in 1996 but never married, splitting in 2005.
