Christy Turlington has been praised for embracing her natural grey hair after appearing in a series of relaxed photographs shared on Instagram.
The 57-year-old supermodel was pictured with veteran fashion photographer Arthur Elgort and his wife, Grethe Barrett Holby, in images posted by Elgort on Monday.
Turlington wore a cream sleeveless button-front dress with black sandals, while her hair was swept back into a bun. She appeared to be without make-up as she smiled for the camera.
Elgort captioned the photographs: “A wonderful visit with @cturlington ❤️ Always so great to reminisce about our trips!”
The photographer, now 86, has known Turlington for decades. She featured on the cover of his 1993 book, Arthur Elgort’s Models Manual, after establishing herself as one of the most recognisable faces in fashion.
Fans responded warmly to the pictures, with one describing Turlington as “ageless” and another writing: “Still my dream girl.” Fashion designer Donna Karan was also among those to comment on the post.
Christy Turlington’s changing hair colour
Turlington was seen with dark brown hair at a New York red-carpet appearance in May, when she attended the Broadway opening of Celebrity Autobiography with her husband, actor and filmmaker Edward Burns.
At the event, strands of grey appeared to be visible at the roots beneath her casual styling, which included a blue denim jacket.
The couple have been married since 2003 and have two children, Grace, 22, and Finn, 20. Grace graduated from New York University earlier this year.
Turlington was discovered as a model at the age of 14 and went on to appear on more than 500 magazine covers worldwide. She became the face of major brands including Calvin Klein, Chanel and Versace, and signed a lucrative contract with Maybelline in 1991.
Although she has continued to make occasional appearances in fashion campaigns and on the runway, Turlington has generally kept a lower profile than many of her contemporaries.
She is also the founder and president of Every Mother Counts, an organisation focused on improving maternal health. The charity was established after Turlington experienced a childbirth complication in 2003.
