Cindy Joseph

So if you think that you can't start a new career when you're older, see what Cindy has achieved.

Cindy's unexpected plunge into the modeling world later in life is truly inspiring. She boldly challenges the stereotype that the fashion industry is reserved for the young. Embracing her natural beauty, including her stunning silver hair, Cindy became a symbol for age positivity. She has since worked with numerous high-profile brands, championing the message that beauty does not diminish with age. Her journey is a testament that it's never too late to follow your dreams, no matter what they may be.

Iman

Iman David Bowie is certainly a lucky man to have the beautiful Iman as his wife. She's not only a model, but also a successful businesswoman and humanitarian. Iman founded her own cosmetics line in order to cover a gap in the market, as women of color were finding it difficult to locate cosmetics for their skin color. As well as her business interests, she is also involved in charity work.

Maye Musk

Maye Musk Maye Musk is beautiful enough without a smile; with one, she's the perfect example of how a smile is the best beauty treatment a woman can have. Another sexagenarian (that's a person in their sixties), Maye has been modeling for 50 years. She also has a second career as a nutritionist.

All these women show how there is still plenty of room for older models. If anything, their years make them much more interesting to photograph. They're also positive role models when it comes to aging, as all of them look fabulous and clearly enjoy life. Which woman over 50 do you most admire?
