'70s Supermodel Lauren Hutton Is Still Absolutely Stunning Today

Lauren Hutton is one of the most under-appreciated supermodels in fashion history, but for those who know, she has quite the legacy. Her story is one about hard work and resilience, with Hutton pushing on despite a bunch of denials before she got her breakout modeling deal with the Ford agency. She recalled what people told her before her career started in an interview with CBS, saying, "'You've got that space between your teeth, your eyes are crossed a lotta the times.' I had improper... everything."  

Despite the people who didn't believe in her, Ford did, and she finally started modeling in the early 1960s and found instant success. Hutton quickly booked gigs with famous photographers and cover shoots. She worked with other original supermodels of the era, including Beverly Johnson, Linda Evangelista, Cindy Crawford, and Naomi Campbell. Even now, Hutton holds the record for the highest number of American Vogue covers. But what some people might be surprised to know (or not, considering she's a model) is that Hutton still looks just as stunning in her older age. And she still has the signature smile that got her noticed in the modeling world.

She might have already entered her 80s, but Hutton doesn't let that stop her from being active in the industry and looking good while doing it. She regularly attends fashion shows and events, such as the Dior Cruise 2027 show in early 2026. The previous year, she attended Paris Fashion Week. She still models occasionally and was the face of a Gant campaign in February 2026. 

Lauren Hutton started her career as a youthful and vibrant young woman taking over the modeling industry; she might be much older now, but she's still just as vibrant. As for what she's done to keep her ageless good looks, Hutton credits less makeup she prefers to wear her own line), a lot of water, and plenty of walking. She spoke with Vogue about her beauty routine in 2020, mentioning how much she dislikes intense makeup like what the Kardashians are known for. Hutton said, "I thought that was masking beauty, because beauty really is about health, and those masks don't look healthy to me, so little by little I took makeup off instead of putting it on." 

She also mentioned drinking about eight glasses of water each day, doing Pilates, and trying to "walk all the time." As for skincare, Hutton called herself a "skin-care minimalist" but added that she pays more attention to skincare after years of neglecting her skin in the sun. Hutton even shared one unexpected "beauty secret," and simple as it is, it's love. She told the publication, "Just love. Try to find someone you love, even if it's a kid. Just love as many people as you can."

Clearly, Hutton's techniques have paid off, as she's now in her 80s but looking decades younger. Living a fairly laid-back lifestyle undoubtedly helps her stay young, too. Back in 2017, she told Harper's Bazaar that she prefers to go where the day takes her. "I haven't had a schedule, really, for 25 years, maybe more. I spend time seeing friends, going to a movie, reading." She also makes an effort to keep stress at bay. Whatever she's doing, it works!
