Damn! How old is she now? She's smoking hot and she's a brilliant business women. Young models of today, take note. This is your role model.

Is it just my new wide computer screen (which makes everyone 10% chubbier), or does she look both "editorial" and perfectly, healthily, sized at the same time? Like guest at 2:58 said, she looks powerful. And genuinely powerful, not that faux powerful that happens when twiggy girls make "roar" faces at the camera.

She looks like a goddess. Amazing pictures of her, and the shoes in the first picture are incredible.

She looks great! But, my fall collection, it probably is your monitor because she definitely isn't normal sized, she's maybe average or slightly above average model size.

I LOVE that she isn't retouched to look like a 12 year old (too much)... AND that she's not a super twig.

LOVE this!

She's around 38, I think. She looks fantastic. She's barely aged in the last 15 years, and doesn't look like she's had the work that others, like Cindy, have had.

She also looks normally sized on my monitor, but in amazing shape (who knew yoga could do that?) - but the supermodels were always normally sized. What set them apart was their height and proportions. And their perfection. They were never as thin as the girls today.

I love that she has some muscle tone. Her body type is not unrealistic unlike what we see today walking down the runways.

Christy Turlington has such a realistic figure, and a great shape. Plus, these poses are awesome!

Yay Christy's my fave!!!!!! I heart 90s non-skeleton-thin supermodels! I agree guest @ 5:50: "but the supermodels were always normally sized. What set them apart was their height and proportions. And their perfection. They were never as thin as the girls today."

This is SUCH a better post than the endless Forever-21-rip-off ones. Keep this up, Fashionista!

The photos are absolutely powerful except that braided whiplash ponytail doesn't look appealing.
