Elle Macpherson, 56, Is Thriving, Lensed by Darren McDonald for Harper's Australia

Elle Macpherson covers the May issue of Harper’s Bazaar Australia, and wellness writer Brigid Delaney sums up reality with total objectivity: “At 56, Macpherson is still a stunner.” Amen to that!

Naomi Smith styles Macpherson in ‘Forever Elle: Finding my purpose in life has been empowering.” Darren McDonald is behind the lens, capturing the Gucci rich images — but hey, who is looking at the clothes.

The wellness guru estimated to be worth about $90 million emphasizes her belief in the body’s power to heal itself. “One thing I’ve learnt over the years is slowing down and taking time to connect to my intuition. I consciously connect through meditation.”
