“Stay calm, believe in yourself,” the 52-year-old blonde model who rose to fame with her cover photos for the Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue in the 1980s.

“And the one other thing I would tell you girls is go for the adventure, because that's what I did... and here I am,” added the businesswoman-actress who hosted Britain and Ireland’s Next Top Model from 2010 to 2013.

Macpherson, born Eleanor Nancy Gow in NSW, began her modeling career in 1982 with a commercial shoot with soft drink brand Tab. Since then, she has graced the covers of fashion magazines Elle, Harper’s Bazaar, Marie Claire, Vogue, Cosmopolitan, and GQ, among others.
