Elle Macpherson, 61, flaunts real skin in video.

Elle Macpherson is  

And the 61-year-old made the bold decision to bare her un-airbrushed face and body in a new video shared to Instagram this week. 

The model worked her angles as she showcased her statuesque physique in a skimpy black swimsuit. 

She also bared almost all in a bright orange bikini top as she beamed for the camera and struck a pose. 

The photo shoot, which was a promotional video for the Bonds underwear brand, showed the supermodel at her unfiltered best, with sun damage on show. 

Fans were delighted by the display, with many taking to the comments section to praise Elle for the real, raw look at her beauty. 

'Thank you for displaying beauty, courage, wisdom, inner and outer strength and fun. This is real! And I love it,' wrote one person. 

Another said: 'Just as beautiful and sexy now as when you first appeared in Sports Illustrated swimsuit edition all those years ago.'

'Love how no filters have been used to airbrush. This is what a real woman looks like! Thank you Elle for your integrity,' one more chimed in. 

Someone else posted: 'She looks natural and lovely' while another agreed, 'Natural always wins!'

'Love how real you allowed this beautiful campaign to be queen. Thank you. A supermodel, yes, but also human,' one fan commented. 

Not everyone was on board, with a commenter writing: 'Let's talk about sun damage' to which another person replied: 'Sadly they didn’t do what we do back when she was a sun bunny.'

Speaking in a recent interview, Elle discussed her wellness journey after not being able to rely on genetics alone after she hit 50. 

Joining Amanda Wakeley on her podcast Style DNA, Elle revealed her tips for getting a good night's sleep after realising the importance of getting 8 hours. 

She said: 'I go to bed with a smile. I go to bed with a happy heart. And an eye mask. No clothes. My skin.'

The model also explained that she avoids caffeine, eats her last meal at 5pm, and relaxes with a hot chocolate before drifting away. 

With the nickname of 'The Body', it's hardly surprising that 's daily routine centres around health and wellness.

When the alarm goes off at 5am the first thing that Elle does is 'smile' - it's also the last thing she does before she goes to bed.

After reaching for a water and lime, she dedicates 25 minutes of her morning to meditating in bed 'to take care of her mind body and spirit' before jumping on her bike and cycling to the beach for a 6.30am swim.

If time is short then Elle stays closer to home, explaining: 'I'll get outside and put my feet on the earth to ground. I do some yoga in the morning sun or Dr Zach's Four Minute Workout to stimulate nitric oxide.

'Sometimes I'll go for a cold plunge afterwards followed by a matcha in the sunshine before getting ready for my day.'

The mother-of-two always chooses to exercise outside and in nature by hiking, biking, swimming or 'simply sitting in the fresh air and sunshine'.

Elle adheres to a plant-based diet and prefers homemade meals made 'with love'
