The 59-Year-Old Yasmina Rossi Grandma Still Has It As a Fashion Model
This 59-year-old Yasmina Rossi grandma still got her sex-appeal and she has proven everyone age is just a number.
She is also proving wrong to the ones that said only younger people can have a modeling career.
Yasmina Rossi, is a French-born and famous fashion model. She is a testament to the belief that beauty only keep growing with age.
With beautiful dark amber eyes and stunning long silver hair, the 5’8” grandma-of-two is still rocking it.
She was born in France in 1955, and grew up on the Mediterranean island of Corsica. Among the years Yasmina has lived in many places around the world, including Paris, South Africa and Malibu, California.
The model broke the patterns of many norms in the industry by starting her career during her late 20s.
By the simple fact that she started her career in her 20s, a time when most models are beginning to retire, she broke patterns.
When she was young she wanted to be a model just to overcome her shyness. Her success didn’t come until she was 45, after relocating to New York City.
And since she has modeled for big name designers such as Yves Saint Laurent and Eileen Fishier.
Yasmine has also appeared in numerous television commercials and major ad campaigns for Macy’s, AT&T and Marks & Spencers in Europe.
Back in 2010, the then 51-year-old Rossi told More Magazine:
“I feel more at peace than I did 10 years ago. I’ve realized that everything around me is a source of teaching. This is aging, and I enjoy it.”
“My hair started turning gray when I was 12 and was salt-and-pepper by the time I hit 20. I never colored it, because I knew it was my best asset.”
She revealed to the Sunday Times the secret to her health and beauty regimen:
“I scrub my skin once a week with olive oil and sugar. I eat an avocado a day and organic meat and fish.”
Rossi emphasizes the importance of not over-exerting oneself during physical exercise and striving to cure sickness naturally instead of through prescribed medication.
According to her resume, Rossi enjoys maintaining her fitness through hiking, jogging and windsurfing. She has also practiced yoga for 30 years.
“There is no big secret,” she told the Sunday Times’ Style magazine. “All I have ever done is eat organic food – long before it became trendy.”
In addition to her successful modeling career, Rossi is also a photographer and an advanced ceramist. For more of her work, make sure you check out her website: yasminarossi.com
