Elon Musk’s fashionista mother Maye, 74, brought her electrifying sense of style to The Blonds’ show at New York Fashion Week this Wednesday.
Maye, who began modeling as a teen and was finalist to be Miss South Africa in the 1960s, had pride of place in the front row.
Phillipe and David Blond are both a romantic couple and professional partners who sit at the head of a luxury fashion brand based in New York.
Models trouped down the catwalk in shimmering metal-accented ensembles that emphasized their enviably slender figures.
Throwing herself into the theme, Maye was rock star chic in a silver and electric blue jumpsuit that clung to her sensationally svelte figure.
Swanking about: Elon Musk’s fashionista mother Maye, 74, brought her electrifying sense of style to The Blonds’ show at New York Fashion Week this Wednesday
Sharpening her features with makeup, she lent her look a touch of punk rock chic with flared set of blue and silver false eyelashes.
Maye, who last year became the oldest-ever cover girl of the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue, heightened the leggy effect of her outfit with heels.
She swept her silver hair back into a low ponytail, which she complemented with an extravagant pair of drop earrings.
When she made her way to the front row, she found herself mingling with drag queens Jamie CD and Linux and the veteran fashion exec Fern Mallis.
Crossing her vertiginous legs, Maye sat rapt in the audience as a cavalcade of models paraded across the catwalk in front of her.
David and Phillippe themselves hit the runway, holding hands while dressed in black outfits with ‘The Blonds’ written on them in silver.
Phillippe sported a luxurious platinum blonde mane and heavy makeup, smiling and waving joyfully while taking in the love from the audience.
Maye made her way backstage, where she gathered for a group-shot that included The Blonds and transgender model Dominique Jackson, who was in the show.

Another boldface name who made it to The Blonds show was Candace Bushnell, writer of the original Sex And The City column that resulted in the hit show.
Candace cut an elegant figure in a glittering silver dress fringed with white frills around the hemline and at the cuffs.
Playing up her shapely legs in a pair of knee-high stiletto boots, Candace wore her signature blonde hair down in light waves.
Since their launch in 2007, The Blonds’ extravagant style has attracted the attention of stars ranging from Madonna to Beyoncé to Taylor Swift.
David once attributed their particular sense of style to ‘all the things we had in common and all of the things that inspired us as children – from Jem and the Holograms and Old Hollywood bombshells to Barbie and Catwoman.’
He explained to Out: ‘Technically, everything we do is based around those inspirations and that’s what links them all together.’
Meanwhile Maye once revealed that, despite her healthy eating habits and masters degrees in both dietetics and nutrition, she still allows herself to have cheat days.
My cheat day would be a tub of ice cream or a bar of chocolate. That would replace one or two meals,’ she informed Forbes. ‘I did that a few times during quarantine, then went into a happy food coma. The next day I would be sad because of my weight gain and would follow my healthy diet strictly for the next few days.’
