On the accessory front, the model kept things simple as she wore a gold necklace and large aviator frames to protect her eyes from the sunshine.
In a second snap posted to her social media account, Elle displayed her statuesque silhouette that contrasted against the warm sunset and beach landscape.
Despite having a seemingly ageless physique that most people are envious of, Elle revealed that she’s experienced a rocky road of dieting and survived off coffee during her modelling hey day before she finally decided to invest in her wellness.
Bikini body: Despite being famously nicknamed ‘The Body’ Elle realised at the age of 50 that she had to take care of her body following years of being ‘demoralised’ by diets
In an interview and cover shoot with the August issue of Red magazine, the supermodel explained how diets left her feeling ‘demoralised’.
‘Genetics can only get you so far,’ she explained. ‘By the time you reach 50, you realise it’s all about caring for your body and your levels of vitality, so you can do the things you want to do.
‘I’ve tried all sorts of workouts and diets, but now a lot of the things I did in my 30s and 40s no longer work for me
‘I used to think I was healthy because I could survive on three hours sleep and snack on coffee.
Now, Elle has become a self appointed guinea pig for holistic or Goop-inspired treatments on her quest for ultimate health.
She added: ‘It took me several years before I was able to fully embrace my individuality, be kinder to myself, and then take command of my business and wellness journey. I’m still working on it!
‘Kindness is definitely the new cool! I’ve realised it’s important to remember to put yourself in other people’s shoes so you can better appreciate their situation.’
