SUPERMODEL Linda Evangelista has surprised fans with her appearance on a rare
public outing.
The 50-year-old, who once famously declared she never got out of bed for less
than $10,000 a day, looked a far cry from the nineties catwalk queen most
people remember.
Looking very youthful and fresh-faced, Canadian-born Linda dressed down while
out and about in Tokyo.
Known for her cropped hair during her heyday, these days Linda, who looked a
little overheated, has grown her hair out and she wore it in a ponytail
scraped back off her face.

Mum-of-one Linda previously denied she had any work done to maintain her model
looks – and said that if (or when) she did she would let the world know.
“There was a picture of me in the press recently just after I’d had a facial,
in which I was wearing no make-up. It was claimed that I had had this and
that procedure done, and it was rubbish,’ she explained,” she told the .
“I probably will have surgery – not right now, but I am getting close. If it’s
important to me I will have it, and announce that I’ve had it.”
Fans will remember Linda being one fifth of the world’s top supermodels –
which included Cindy Crawford, Claudia Schiffer, Naomi Campbell and Christy
Turlington.
Her success was unprecedented and she is considered to be one of the most
accomplished and influential models of all time.
Throughout her extensive career she featured on over 700 magazine covers, was
the muse of photographer Steven Meisel and racked up the most Vogue Italia
covers ever – a title she still holds.
She retired from full-time modelling in 1998 and after three years of no work
at all, she returned sporadically.
