Elle Macpherson is known for her age-defying looks and incredible figure.
And the 61-year-old made the bold decision to bare her un-airbrushed face and body in a new video shared to Instagram this week.
The model worked her angles as she showcased her statuesque physique in a skimpy black swimsuit.
She also bared almost all in a bright orange bikini top as she beamed for the camera and struck a pose.
The photo shoot, which was a promotional video for the Bonds underwear brand, showed the supermodel at her unfiltered best, with sun damage on show.
Fans were delighted by the display, with many taking to the comments section to praise Elle for the real, raw look at her beauty.

'Thank you for displaying beauty, courage, wisdom, inner and outer strength and fun. This is real! And I love it,' wrote one person.
Another said: 'Just as beautiful and sexy now as when you first appeared in Sports Illustrated swimsuit edition all those years ago.'
'Love how no filters have been used to airbrush. This is what a real woman looks like! Thank you Elle for your integrity,' one more chimed in.
Someone else posted: 'She looks natural and lovely' while another agreed, 'Natural always wins!'
'Love how real you allowed this beautiful campaign to be queen. Thank you. A supermodel, yes, but also human,' one fan commented.
Not everyone was on board, with a commenter writing: 'Let's talk about sun damage' to which another person replied: 'Sadly they didn’t do what we do back when she was a sun bunny.'
Speaking in a recent interview, Elle discussed her wellness journey after not being able to rely on genetics alone after she hit 50.
Joining Amanda Wakeley on her podcast Style DNA, Elle revealed her tips for getting a good night's sleep after realising the importance of getting 8 hours.

She said: 'I go to bed with a smile. I go to bed with a happy heart. And an eye mask. No clothes. My skin.'
The model also explained that she avoids caffeine, eats her last meal at 5pm, and relaxes with a hot chocolate before drifting away.
With the nickname of 'The Body', it's hardly surprising that Elle's daily routine centres around health and wellness.
When the alarm goes off at 5am the first thing that Elle does is 'smile' - it's also the last thing she does before she goes to bed.
After reaching for a water and lime, she dedicates 25 minutes of her morning to meditating in bed 'to take care of her mind body and spirit' before jumping on her bike and cycling to the beach for a 6.30am swim.
If time is short then Elle stays closer to home, explaining: 'I'll get outside and put my feet on the earth to ground. I do some yoga in the morning sun or Dr Zach's Four Minute Workout to stimulate nitric oxide.
'Sometimes I'll go for a cold plunge afterwards followed by a matcha in the sunshine before getting ready for my day.'
The mother-of-two always chooses to exercise outside and in nature by hiking, biking, swimming or 'simply sitting in the fresh air and sunshine'.

A 'big believer in energy healing', Elle revealed she books regular appointments for acupuncture, chiropractic, breathwork and sound healing
She said she has no set schedule when it comes to exercise and prefers to 'go with the flow' and swears by regular sessions in her infrared sauna as well as a cold plunge to 'reset'.
She then adds a collagen elixir to her morning smoothie and takes gut support and protein supplements to help with her nutrition.
A 'big believer in energy healing', Elle revealed she books regular appointments for acupuncture, chiropractic, breathwork and sound healing.
She also undergoes Russian Banyas, an ancient tradition of steam bathing with a wood stove burning dry tree or herb branches called veniks.
Elle adheres to a plant-based diet and prefers homemade meals made 'with love' so her lunch will be made using locally grown and organic veggies, handpicked from her local farmers' market.
An 'essential' part of Elle's day and to beat the 3pm slump is to perform an East Asian tea ceremony with her favourites being Rooibos tea in vanilla and Earl Grey.
To 'be at (her) best', the age-defying model then takes a range of supplements and elixirs from her own wellness brand WelleCo.
She said she takes care of her skin and body by juicing up to four times a day, dry body brushing, and following a $1,400 skincare routine from Dr Barbara Sturm.

Elle uses a dry body brush up to three times a week 'to stimulate circulation and lymphatic drainage, clear my system of any toxins, and exfoliate my body for smooth, soft skin'.
To wind down in the evening, Elle again likes to relax in the sauna then take a dip in cold water which she says is 'great for detoxing, immune boosting, lymphatic support and relaxation'.
One of her favourite weeknight dinners is miso mushroom soup with Japanese sweet potato.
Her nightly ritual then involves drinking a cup of WelleCo calming tea and the last thing she does before sleeping is, of course: 'Smile. Put my hands on my solar plexus, think about what I'm grateful for that day, and drift into a peaceful sleep.'
