They are all in their sixth decade and have long been stalwarts of fashion, but Helena Christensen, 54, Cindy Crawford, 57, and Eva Herzigova, 50, proved they still reign supreme in the modelling stakes.
The supermodels were among a whole host of stars who each graced the cover of the Vanity Fair Fashion issue this month, as they joined the likes of Naomi Campbell, 53, Carla Bruni, 55, and Claudia Schiffer, 53.
Twenty one of the world’s most iconic models united across the publication’s European editions for an issue that aimed to question the ‘mythology of beauty’.
Arguably stealing the show was Helena, who stripped off to reveal her nude body and wore just a pair of sheer gloves as she commanded attention in front of the camera.
Cindy, who slipped into a lace bodice with thigh-high stockings and sheer gloves, proved why she is still one of the sexiest women alive while throwing her head back for a jaw-dropping shot.

Czech native Eva left little to the imagine as she covered her modest in a long black cloak and a pair of stockings, while also donning a pair of black gloves as she leant back against a wall.
Meanwhile, Naomi looked absolutely breathtaking as she posed in a dramatic black feather headpiece and ensemble from Dolce & Gabbana.
In the black and white image, the mother-of-two, who welcomed her second child, a baby boy, in June, looked wistfully into the distance as she sported a classic winged eyeliner and a creamy matte lipstick.
The undisputed queen of the catwalk wore a pair of lace opera-length gloves for an elegant flair.
The photos was captured by the Swiss-Italian fashion photography duo, Luigi Murenu and Iango Henzi (known as Luigi & Iango). They have shot more that 300 covers for Vogue magazine and other leading magazines, like I.D.
Naomi was also front and center on Vanity Fair’s latest issue, in a shimmery maroon dress, alongside other stars including Kristen McMenamy, Elisabetta Dessy, Christy Turlington, Shalom Harlow and Penelope Tree.
Completing the line-up was Lauren Hutton, Iman, Milla Jovovich, Amber Valletta, Pat Cleveland, Stephanie Seymour, Carolyn Murphy, Kirsten Owen and Paulina Porizkova.
The issue covers models who were at the height of their fame between 1960 and 1990.
Speaking about the models on the cover, Vanity Fair Italy’s editor Simone Marchetti said: ‘In retrospect, their departure from the fashion landscape and the arrival of less perfect beauty represented the beginning of a change.
‘For the first time, fragility trumped perfection, vulnerability over power. And this is where we are today: the return of models is the last act of a revolution which is finally making peace with its own history.

‘After having learned over the last decade to appreciate bodies, shapes and ages different, a new idea of beauty is finally making headway: that of freedom, respect and diversity.’
The issue was dedicated to the best supermodels from the 1990s era and featured other icons from the 60s, 70s, 80s and 90s.
Naomi was first scouted at Convent Garden as a teenager and covered British Elle shortly before her 16th birthday.
She has gone on to walk for the likes of Versace and Dior and is one of the ‘Big Six’ group of supermodels who dominated the industry and included the likes of Kate Moss and Linda Evangelista.
In her early modelling days, Naomi battled drug addiction, going to rehab in 1999 after five years of cocaine addiction. She has since spoke candidly about her period of drug use.
As one of the top supermodels in history, Naomi has made millions, enjoyed incredible career success, and travelled the world.
But last year, she admitted that her high-powered jet-set lifestyle has meant at least one big sacrifice – finding a long-term romantic partner.
‘I’d say the sacrifice is really finding that soulmate who will understand you,’ she told The Cut.
Over the summer, she announced that she has welcomed the birth of her son on social media as she declared ‘it’s never too late to become a mother.’
‘My little darling, know that you are cherished beyond measure and surrounded by love from the moment you graced us with your presence. A True Gift from God,’ she captioned an image of her cradling her son while her daughter, two, held his hand.
She continued: ‘A True Gift from God, blessed! Welcome Baby boy.’
Naomi’s surprise announcement comes after she welcomed her first child, a daughter, in May 2021.
