From her high cheekbones to that unmistakable smile, it’s easy to see why Christy Turlington (and her fellow supers, Linda Evangelista, Naomi Campbell, and Cindy Crawford, all of whom starred on the cover of Vogue’s 2023 September issue), could refuse to get out of bed for less than $10,000 in her modeling heyday. In her decades spent owning the catwalks, we saw Turlington assume all manner of guises, from sultry bombshell to free-spirited beach babe. Nowadays, she is much more the latter, with a keen interest in wellbeing—she loves yoga, running, and meditation—and at 55, looks as radiant and healthy as ever.
Below, Vogue takes a look at some of her best beauty moments, from theatrical runway make-up to off-duty model looks.
