This “First American Supermodel” is redefining aging at 77 by celebrating her natural beauty and wrinkles. Witness her remarkable evolution from her early modeling days to her elegant presence today.

In her youth, she epitomized the classic American beauty, achieving international fame in the fashion world. With a groundbreaking career, she set new benchmarks for future models.

At just 17, she made headlines by gracing the cover of Glamour magazine. While many models fade from the scene by their early 30s, she broke the mold.

At 31, Time magazine recognized her as the ideal All-American model, cementing her status as a cultural icon. Her journey didn’t stop there, as she continued to enchant audiences with her enduring charm, making a memorable appearance in Sports Illustrated’s swimsuit issue for the fourth time in 1996.

Her presence in this legendary issue was soon followed by other renowned models, such as Gigi Hadid and Tyra Banks. In December 2000, she was featured on the cover of More magazine.

Recently, social media lit up with admiration for a throwback photo of this pioneering supermodel, with fans expressing their awe at her beauty.

“How did you even look like that? Insane!” one comment read. Another admirer said, “Oh my gosh, just ICONIC.” A third wrote, “So pretty and natural….”

As her modeling career began to wind down, she entered a new phase of life — motherhood. On July 1, 2001, she welcomed fraternal twins via surrogate while married to yoga instructor Rod Stryker, also raising a 9-year-old son from a previous marriage.

At 53, she found herself embracing the challenges of parenting young twins, while many women her age were enjoying their newfound freedom as empty nesters. Yet, she welcomed this new chapter wholeheartedly.

“I love the way my life has unfolded,” she expressed. Now a grandmother, she cherishes moments with her granddaughter, Elektra, whom she described as adorably cheeky in a 2020 post.

While her modeling career may have slowed, her personal life thrived with family, bringing her joy beyond the runway.

Over the years, she opted for a natural approach to aging, resisting Hollywood’s pressure for cosmetic enhancements and proudly embracing her wrinkles, showcasing her enduring beauty well into her seventies.

When asked if her iconic status made her feel older, she confidently replied, “Nothing makes me feel older. Only I know all of the years of insecurity and hard work that have gone into what I’ve done.”

Reflecting on her journey, she noted that her ambition was always to push her limits. Despite days of reluctance to work, she remained thankful for every opportunity.

“I was being paid a lot of money to do something I enjoyed,” she shared. On aging gracefully, she emphasized, “You can’t just hope it happens; you have to put in the effort.”

Maintaining a balanced diet, staying active, and finding joy in life were key to her youthful spirit. Even as her workouts adapted over the years, she focused on activities that brought her happiness.

“Do something that makes you happy. I love reading, and I gave that up for a while. Now I’m back at it. Surround yourself with positive friends — that’s where I am now. It’s a nice, healthy, happy state,” she revealed.

While labeled as the “first American supermodel,” she viewed the title as a testament to her continued presence after her modeling peak.

“Someone gave me that title as a way of saying I didn’t just vanish after a successful modeling career; I went on to pursue other ventures,” she explained.

She contributed to “Good Morning America” and launched a clothing line for Sears. Unlike many of her peers who turned to acting, she pursued business ventures aligned with her passions.

As of 2017, she relished a well-earned hiatus from the spotlight. “It’s the first time I haven’t had to set an alarm and go to work. I’m kind of on sabbatical. I think about writing a book, but sometimes I tire of discussing myself,” she noted.

This ageless beauty is none other than Cheryl Tiegs. Continue reading to discover her transformation over the years, from her early modeling career to her radiant presence at 77.

Cheryl Tiegs’ evolution from a youthful cover model to a pioneering icon showcases her lasting impact on the fashion industry. By gracefully accepting the aging process and exuding confidence, Tiegs remains an inspiration to generations, celebrated for her authentic beauty and optimistic perspective on life.

Claudette Dion, Celine Dion’s sister, has once again offered a combination of heartbreaking and encouraging news as the famed singer heroically faces the challenges of stiff person syndrome.

During her harrowing struggle with this uncommon neurological ailment, the 55-year-old vocalist finds peace behind the walls of her luxurious $1.2 million Las Vegas home, where she lives with her three adored sons, René-Charles, Eddy, and Nelson.

Claudette, Celine’s sister, reveals that the renowned artist’s journey has been distinct by a constant search for effective medications as the grip of this life-threatening condition tightens.

Despite this, their sibling, Linda, has moved in to provide care and support, strengthening her resolve to recover.

Claudette recently told Le Journal de Montreal, “During my conversations with Celine, if she’s occupied, I connect with my sister Linda, her constant companion, who informs me of Celine’s endeavors.”

She reveals that Celine is putting in much time and effort to learn about this rare disease from top researchers.

“Fundamentally, I believe that what she most needs is rest.” Her determination has no limitations; she constantly strives for excellence, pushing herself to the summit of her craft.

However, there comes a point when one’s heart and body try to send a message. It is critical to pay attention to these signs,” Claudette reflects.

Claudette attests in the ongoing narrative of Celine’s journey that her sister expends enormous effort on her physical well-being in the hopes of resuming her rightful place on the stage in due time.

“Our faith in her is resolute,” Claudette says of Celine’s unrelenting commitment to rehabilitation. Discipline is an inherent aspect of her temperament, permeating every aspect of her life. While the unavailable remedy remains elusive, optimism remains essential.”

Celine’s story unfolds against the backdrop of stiff person syndrome’s persistent symptoms, embedded within a complex family tree of 14 siblings—Linda, Ghislaine, Clément, Claudette, Liette, Michel, Jacques, Louise, Daniel, Denise, Linda, Manon, and the twin duo Paul and Pauline.

Muscle rigidity, frequently brought on by external stimuli like sound, touch, and emotional upheaval, is how this mysterious condition manifests itself. Celine’s experience is marked by muscle spasms, unstable stride, and recurring falls due to the disorder’s difficulty maintaining coordination.

Stiff person syndrome, which is more common in women, frequently robs its victims of their mobility, trapping them in immobility. Celine’s health crisis was revealed in 2021, prompting the postponement of her much-anticipated Las Vegas appearances.

As the calendar moved to 2022, the North American leg of her Courage world tour met a similar fate, succumbing to the same health-related issues. “I had nurtured hopes of resuming my journey by this point,” she writes, “but it appears patience is my most vital ally, as I dutifully adhere to my doctors’ prescribed regimen.”

Celine sowed seeds of optimism among her devoted admirers by lending her vocal prowess to the romantic comedy “Love Again.”

Celine’s compositions reverberate throughout the film’s soundtrack, shining as the production’s stars, even gracing the screen with her fleeting presence, representing none other than herself.

Claudette, 74, has been a source of health updates, assuaging fears and reinforcing the familial optimism surrounding Celine’s route.

During a recent television interview, Claudette expressed optimism, saying, “We collectively hold our breaths, appreciative of the widespread concern.”

Celine’s toil knows no bounds, and we have complete faith in the victory that awaits her. “This story will not end in despair,” she says passionately.

Queen Camilla has taken on huge responsibilities within the Royal Family during the last few years. In essence, she’s gone from hated to loved, and when King Charles and Kate Middleton received their respective cancer diagnoses, she and Prince William became the de-facto face of the monarchy.

Camilla and William have known each other for many years, with the former entering the latter’s life after his mother, Princess Diana, passed. In the beginning, the young boy had understandable difficulty accepting his father’s “new” love.

These days they have a healthy, loving relationship. Camilla will never be a mother to Prince William, yet she is nonetheless above him in the hierarchy. That said, one royal expert is now claiming the queen is “afraid” of her stepson and his influence.

Queen Camilla and Prince William have a long history together. While the future king and his brother, Prince Harry, most likely didn’t know anything about their father’s affair with Camilla when they were young, they surely know all about it today. The brothers went through a massive tragedy during their childhood when their mother, Princess Diana, passed away.

Queen Camilla & Prince William’s relationship

Diana’s passing left the brothers without a loving mother. Not long after, Camilla entered their lives, and would eventually become their stepmother. For the Queen Consort, the relationship with William and Harry – especially Harry – was complex.

The now-estranged Duke of Sussex recalled his first meeting with Camilla as “awkward and tense.” In Spare, he wrote that William had “long harbored suspicions about the Other Woman.”

In an interview with 60 Minutes, Harry revealed that he and his brother had even asked their father not to marry Camilla. In the end, they changed their minds on her.

“We didn’t think it was necessary, we thought that it was gonna cause more harm than good and that if he was now with his person. That – surely that’s enough,” Harry told 60 Minutes. “We wanted him to be happy. And we saw how happy he was with her.”

Prince Harry’s first meeting with Camilla wasn’t a success, but things were different when she was introduced to Prince William.

At the time, William was studying at Eton, and had informed Charles that he’d be heading back to York House in London for the weekend.

Queen Camilla & Prince William’s first meeting

In her book Queen Consort: The Life of Queen Camilla, royal author Penny Junor claimed William’s sudden arrival caught his father off guard – and Camilla wasn’t extremely keen regarding the meeting. She even offered to leave before the young prince’s arrival, but Charles dismissed that notion as “ridiculous.”

Instead, he told his son that Camilla would be there when he arrived, and Camilla was “decidedly anxious.”

Charles let Camilla know that William had arrived and suggested to “get on with it.” Camilla and William spent about 30 minutes getting to know each other, with Camilla reportedly saying afterwards: “I need a gin and tonic.”

William and Harry lived at Highgrove House with their mother all their childhood. When she passed away, Charles decided to move the family to York House, which, according to Penny Junor, sadly meant they had “no memories for them of their mother.”

It didn’t take long before the royal PR machine was working for William, Harry, and Camilla, as the next step was for them to be seen publicly with the woman who would become their stepmother. In Queen Consort: The Life of Queen Camilla, PR expert PR expert Mark Bolland told Junor that it was “something awkward” initially.

“It was difficult for them; it was a natural thing. You want your mum, you don’t want her, and she had her own family. To be fair to Camilla, she never tried to be mummy, but she was the ‘other woman,’ and she was there taking daddy’s time,” Bolland said.

Queen Camilla’s special trick to remind Prince William & Kate Middleton of their place

Today, Prince William and Queen Camilla have a great relationship; the same goes for her and Kate Middleton. However, while Prince William is a future king, he’s not a king now. Currently Camilla is queen and, therefore, higher up in the hierarchy than the Prince and Princess of Wales; thus, William and Kate should be careful about making her too frustrated.

Being a stepmother could mean Camilla has difficulty being strict with William, but it appears she has clarified that she won’t accept certain things.

In his book Catherine, The Princess of Wales: The Biography, author Robert Jobson claims that Queen Camilla often subdues William to remind him of the royal hierarchy when she feels he isn’t respecting his father. Once, she wasn’t content with just telling them, and acted in quite a unique way to remind both William and Kate who was in charge.

Jobson revealed the moment in his book when the Prince and Princess of Wales asked to join King Charles and Queen Camilla’s security convoy from Windsor Castle. However, William and Kate were late, leaving them waiting.

“When Charles was kept waiting several minutes for the couple, Camilla insisted they go without them. As William and Catherine emerged, all they could see were the blue flashing lights of the motorbikes disappearing in the distance,” Jobson wrote in Catherine, The Princess of Wales: The Biography.

While Camilla and William’s relationship has had its ups and downs, just like any other, they have put on brave faces and endured the difficulties together.

Queen Camilla & Prince William was left “nursing the crown”

They stepped up as partners and working Royal Family members with the recent illness of both King Charles and Kate Middleton, and according to former BBC royal correspondent Jennie Bond, this has brought Camilla and William “much closer.”

“They have been left, almost literally, nursing the crown while the King and the Princess recover,” Bond told OK!, per the Mirror. “When the late Queen died, William spoke of how she had been at his side at ‘the happiest moments’ and ‘saddest days of his life’. Now, Camilla is sharing some of those times with him and it must surely cement their relationship.”

Bond added: “There are so very few people that a senior royal can trust absolutely… and Camilla must now be one of that number for William. And I’m sure it is a two-way street with William offering moral support to Camilla as well.”

Earlier this summer, one event made headlines regarding Camilla and William’s relationship, as it was revealed that the future king made the decision to remove Camilla’s sister, Annabel Elliot, from the Duchy of Cornwall paywall.

She had served as King Charles’ chief interior designer for almost two decades, and it’s not strange to believe that it could have affected William and Camilla’s relationship.

However, according to royal expert Christopher Andersen, the author of The King: The Life of Charles III, it wasn’t a “snub at all. Instead, the royal expert argues that it was an “inevitable” business decision.

“William wants his own team in there,” Andersen told US Magazine.

“They never felt comfortable opening up to her in any real way”

Since Charles and Kate Middleton received their cancer diagnoses, both Camilla and William have grown closer, a family friend of the queen told the news outlet.

“William has warmed up to Camilla over time,” the source said, while another source added that the duo have “a familial relationship these days.”

“There’s a lot to overcome. William and Harry had always distrusted Camilla and felt resentment toward her because of their devotion to their mother. They never felt comfortable opening up to her in any real way,” the source suggested.

At the same time, the feud with Prince Harry is also a key factor in Queen Camilla and Prince William cozying up together. A source told US Magazine that since Harry left in 2020, the queen and future king have worked hard to build an easy-going relationship.

“It brought them closer,” the source continued.

“There’s a lot to overcome. William and Harry had always distrusted Camilla and felt resentment toward her because of their devotion to their mother. They never felt comfortable opening up to her in any real way.”

In the US Magazine article, a family friend of Camilla’s stated that she has Kate Middleton to thank for William’s change of heart regarding his stepmother.

Royal expert claims Queen Camilla is a “little afraid” of Prince William

“It was really Kate who warmed William to Camilla. She’s never been dismissive of Camilla and always treated her with kindness,” the source said.

The family friend concluded: “They both like the fact that Camilla’s normal and makes Charles less stuffy. Kate likes her because she brings a real-life relatability into the family. She’s not all about the courtiers waiting on hand and foot. Camilla’s real like Kate is.”

However, not everyone agrees with that assessment. Royal expert Christopher Andersen claims that from the beginning, Camilla was actually against William and Kate ending up together at all. Meanwhile, the expert and author suggests that, to this day, William isn’t a big fan of Camilla but “tolerates” her. Meanwhile, he claims Camilla “has always been a little afraid of William.”

“Camilla’s a believer in aristocracy [and] kind of a snob,” Andersen told US Magazine, adding that the now-queen didn’t think Kate “was of their class.”

Lacey Chabert, once a familiar face on screens, seems to have disappeared from the spotlight. Many celebrities, like her, choose to leave the glitz of Hollywood behind for a simpler life. Instead of fame, they opt for the routine of a 9-to-5 job.

These stars, though still wealthy, trade red carpets for office cubicles and movie sets for ordinary workplaces. Phoebe Cates, known for her roles in ’80s hits like “Gremlins,” shifted away from acting. She now runs a clothing store named Blue Tree in New York City.

Cates expressed her disillusionment with the entertainment industry, saying, “I felt like I had to fit into the mold of a typical Hollywood actress.” Now, she finds joy in the simplicity of managing a small business, away from the pressures of fame.

Chabert’s absence from the spotlight mirrors the choices of many celebrities who prefer a quieter life outside of Hollywood. While their bank accounts remain substantial, they find fulfillment in the ordinary rhythms of everyday work.

Watch video below:

Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, shared a touching moment with her daughter, Princess Lilibet, during her and Prince Harry’s trip to Nigeria on May 10. While visiting pupils at the Lightway Academy, Meghan recounted a sweet exchange with her 2-year-old daughter. “Our daughter, Lili, she’s much, much tinier than you guys,” Meghan said, adding, “She then says, ‘Mama, I see myself in you.’”

Meghan reflected on the deeper meaning, explaining, “Yes, I do see myself in you, and you see me in you.” She told the children, “As I look around this room, I see myself in all of you as well.”

The couple, who also have a five-year-old son, Prince Archie, joined in singing, dancing, and games with the children. Meghan noted that “That’s Lili’s favorite class… Perhaps it’s all the hopping around.”

Although the Sussexes keep much of their personal life private, they offer occasional glimpses. In February, Harry shared on *Good Morning America*, “The kids are doing great… They both have an amazing sense of humor and make us laugh every day.”

Despite stepping back from royal duties, the couple remains committed to their roles as loving parents.

Sharon Stone, at 66, recently revisited her iconic role from *Basic Instinct* in an Instagram post that quickly went viral. Posing in red lace underwear, Stone channeled her famous character, Catherine Tramell, 32 years after captivating audiences in the classic film.

The post garnered over 131,000 likes within 12 hours, with fans flooding the comments with praise. Stone captioned the photo, “Raw… yours,” adding a powerful touch to the image.

While the original *Basic Instinct* scene remains one of the most legendary and controversial moments in film history, this time, there was no interrogation—just admiration. Fans commented, “Even more beautiful,” “You haven’t aged a day,” and “Phenomenal, just like 32 years ago.”

Stone’s post is a testament to her enduring appeal and the lasting impact of her role.











Nicole Kidman was forced to leave the 81st Venice International Film Festival abruptly after the tragic passing of her mother.

According to reports, the superstar actress was honored with the prestigious Volpi Cup for best actress at the awards for her new movie Babygirl. However, the director of the movie, Halina Reijn, accepted the gong on Kidman’s behalf, before revealing that she had returned home after learning of her mom’s death.

In a statement read by Reijn, Kidman revealed that she had learned about her mom Janelle Ann Kidman’s passing shortly after arriving in Venice that day.

“I’m in shock and I have to go to my family,” the statement said. “But this award is for her. She shaped me, she guided me and she made me.”

The Australia star added, “My heart is broken”, while there were audible gasps from audience members as the statement was read out by Reijn.

Kidman explained that “Because of how close we are,” her mother was “giving me the chance to view the world through an 81-year-old woman’s eyes.”

“That is so beneficial right now because she’s so cognizant,” the 57-year-old went on. “She has every brain faculty available. So she hasn’t lost anything. She hasn’t lost any memory, which is fascinating, and she’s extremely bright. She’s also very direct and very honest.”

Kidman’s parents were both Australian. Her father, a psychologist, died in 2014.

The actress’s mother was 83 at the time of her passing and had appeared alongside her daughter on red carpets over the years.

In her latest flick, the aforementioned Babygirl, Kidman plays a chief executive having an affair with a young intern. The movie was well received at the Venice Film Festival during its world premiere, receiving a seven-minute ovation from the audience.

Kidman was reportedly visibly moved by the positive reaction, while she embraced Reijn after the screening.
