Elle Macpherson made her triumphant return to the catwalk at the Melbourne Fashion Festival on Monday.
And now the Australian model, 59, who returned to the runway for the first time since 2010, has opened up on the experience.
‘I’m grateful to be coming home, not to be seen necessarily as an icon, but I’m grateful for my Australian heritage,’ she told the Herald Sun.
‘I’ve had such an extraordinary career that’s brought me unusual and interesting experiences and I’m extremely grateful.’
Elle added she wanted her fans to celebrate their own beauty and she hoped she could inspire them by strutting her stuff on the runway.

‘I would encourage everybody to really step into their own unique beauty and be themselves,’ she added.
‘That’s the most charismatic, magnetic, even attractive thing that we can be. You know, you do you, you be you and I’ll be me. ‘
Elle cut a youthful figure on the red carpet ahead of walking the runway for the first time in almost 14 years.
She proved she still has what it takes to be a supermodel as she arrived at the Royal Exhibition Building.
The beauty was chic in a sleeveless silver sequin frock by Alex Perry that clung close to her famous figure.
The stunner opted for a fresh makeup look that accentuated her natural glow along with a sheer nude lip gloss.

She finished the look by wearing her blonde locks in a partially up do with loose strands around her face and wore Alinka accessories.
Elle earlier said that she’s confused why her runway return has been headline-making.
‘The headline is “coming back to runway”, but that’s not really the case,’ she told the Sydney Morning Herald.
‘This is just an evolution of doing things. So anyway, it has been 11 years since I’ve walked – or 10 years, 15 years, or whatever it is.’
