61-Year-Old Model Absolutely Rocks Her Swimsuit Campaign, And Shares Her Beauty Secrets
Swimsuit adverts are often highly sexualized, but as you can see from these stunning pictures, they don’t have to be. Nor do they have to feature young models, as Yasmina Rossi proves. You wouldn’t believe it to look at her, but the model, visual artist, and self-portrait photographer is in fact over 60 years old. And she definitely has a fair share of tips on how to look younger.
The photographs below are part of a campaign for a swimsuit collaboration between online shop The Dreslyn and a lingerie house called Land of Women. According to Brooke Taylor Corcia, founder of Dreslyn, the purpose of the collection was to veer away from the hyper-sexualized imagery of existing swimwear lines. She decided to choose Malibu, California-based Rossi as their older model of choice because, as she said to Huffpost, “This is a woman who radiates health and vitality. She’s confident; she’s a visual artist, she takes care of herself. [This line is] all about being a person who’s well-lived and well-traveled and has intelligence and confidence, and letting that shine through.”

This woman proves that swimwear models don’t have to be young
Believe it or not, Yazemeenah Rossi is 61-years-old
She was born in France in 1955 and was raised on the island of Corsica
She’s a model, visual artist, and self-portrait photographer based in Malibu, California
These photos are part of a campaign for a swimsuit collaboration between online shop The Dreslyn and lingerie house Land of Women
The founder of Dreslyn said the purpose of the collection was to veer away from the hyper-sexualized imagery of other swimwear lines
She chose Rossi as their older model because, she said, “This is a woman who radiates health and vitality. She’s confident, she’s a visual artist, she takes care of herself”. She’s confident, she’s a visual artist, she takes care of herself”
“[This line is] all about being a person who’s well-lived and well-traveled and has intelligence and confidence, and letting that shine through”
But how does she look so good at 61?
“There is no big secret,” she once told the Sunday Times about her beauty tips. “All I have ever done is eat organic food – long before it became trendy”
“”I take oil and use it on my skin. I put rapeseed oil on my hair. I scrub my skin once a week with olive oil and fine sugar, and I eat an avocado a day and organic meat and fish and those are my beauty secrets””

Share on FacebookWell. It's more than just organic food. The choices of food are important. But genes and lifestyle are big factors.
She's a beautiful woman and always will be. The photo with the horse is fabulous - the way the grey colours flow and blend. Stunning.
She looks stunning at 61! I envy her a little but I can't stop thinking it's pizza night (maybe if it's organic?) :)
Pizza does not need to be unhealthy. Organic flour and ingredients for sure. Tomatoes, pesto, spinach, feta cheese, etc.
Load More Replies...She isn't "highly sexualized"? What's up w/ that boob shot? The all-nude shot? Her being thin & in great shape physically? Still sexualized.
I think the last photos you refer to are not from the swimwear photoshoot.
Load More Replies...I have to admit this is a wonderful swimsuit campaign. Kudos to her for having the financial means to eat only organic throughout her life.
A lot of people wrote that they were impressed, are you ingenuous, I tell you the secret of how you look like this woman at 61: photoshop.
Yeah, a lot of photoshop here, and makeup, too
Load More Replies...Many people win that lottery but do not maintain a healthy lifestyle & eventually look like c**p.
Load More Replies...That last picture..... <3 Beau-ti-ful! Well, I didn't look anywhere near that at 21 and I won't look like that at 61 no matter how much olive oil I'll ue inside and out :-D
I love the last photo, the one with the horse. The colors blend and flow and create a very storm-like sense, especially with the way the woman and the horse seem to be talking together. She's a gorgeous woman and always will be.
To be honest she is tall and has a lovely figure but I know 65 year olds that look younger facially than she does, she look older than 61 and her facial pics are definitely air brushed!
Yes, i can easily believe she's 61. Because I'm 70 and don't look a day older than her. But I don't eat organic food, just normal stuff - and a bit of rubbish when I feel so inclined. Plus I smoked for 40 years. IMO It has much more to do with attitude. If you live life it loves you back and there's no need to get all 'precious; about it.
She is tall,has a great figure is beautiful and also has great bone structure, she's going to look good no matter what age she is...she also looks after herself but she is lucky that she has so many positive physical attributes...
Absolutely beautiful! I hope I look half that good at 60. I bet Olive, grapeseed oil and organic food sales skyrocketed after this was published.
But of course, don't look at her as a sex object!!! More of their contradictory BS!!
Yes she looks fabulous, but just eating organic food doesn't make one look like that at age 61! Also by the looks of her stomach, she didn't have any children!
Avocados are great. I eat them often too, though not as many as one a day. But I do eat at least three or four a week. They are yummy too. I also have a thing for tomatoes. Just can't get enough of them. I'm a man, 51, but nobody believes my age. They think I'm in my early to mid 30's. I was even called man-witch once...lol I won't say it's just the things I eat, but what you eat is one of the most important things for a healthy lifestyle and looking good. You also need to workout often, and avoid alcohol, even though a beer here and there is not going to ruin your looks. It hasn't ruined mine! Wine is good too, though. Oh and always keep a positive attitude. Avoid arguing with people and treat everyone like you would want everyone to treat you. If you can do that consistently and keep reminding yourself of it, you will be happier and grow healthy-old like this lady, and look great regardless of genes or natural physical beauty.

She look's so good still . I'm 64 n I look good 4 my age to . I've kept a very healthful eating pattern & stayed active swimming is # 1 for me then biking & last is walking .
It goes without saying that she is very beautiful and has good genes and bone structure her diet is also well balanced but this a lifetime of dedication I love the last photo with the horse it is superb x
Something's fishy. She looks retouched in some areas. Plus I've never met a person with grey hair that has such dark eyebrows.
Too bad some of these photos are photoshopped (e.g., topless, black skirt). She is a beautiful model, and should be portrait as natural as possible.
Even 40 doesnt looks so good if she doesnt take care about her health, body, condition and good diet.
Maybe it should be GRAPEseed oil not without the G . Respect for the healthy lifestyle :)
Geesh, you act like 60 year old women are are old and ugly! It's not that unusual for women to look good in our 60's!
What a bunch of c**p... I don't know much about staying away from hyper-sexualism but she's not putting her money were her mouth is! ;-) And what does being intelligent, confident and having travelled a lot have to do with beauty? You cannot see that in a picture. So poor bastards can never be really pretty? Why are women so obsessed with eternal youth?
She looks gorge indeed . 😍I guess that's also thanks to the work out routine I believe she has everyday lol. Either way , kudos to her 👏
Cut that old, dried out dead hair off. Why do so many women think that long hair with no style looks good in them at any age. It doesn't look good on most women, yet they continue to wear it in droves. Melanie Trump is another example. Ugh.
Her face does look 60 but the body does not. This is due to a good nutrition & some form of regular exercise. It is not 'natural' to just let yourself go at any age. A great physique at 60 is no accident. Use it or lose it ladies & gents.
she looks so stunning that I can not get rid eyes from her beauty. For me it is unbelievable fact to keep such beauty at this age. I wish to be like this at this age. she looks better than some girls at the age 30 <3
Caption: Please notice my side f***y.... Looketh NOT at my cankles
She's never had kids so her body wasn't ravaged by stretch marks, varicose veins and exploded hemorrhoids
She was featured on another online piece and was said to have two children and two grandchildren
Load More Replies...So beautiful, thats what you get for living healthy. And good genes too
You don't have to be young to be a swimwear model, you just have to look exactly like a young swimwear model. This message, my a**.
But she doesn't look "exactly like a young swimwear model". She is definitely mature.

Hello I am 61 I am a former model .....the neck and sagging skin looking like chicken meat falling off the bone hmmmm not so cool not good age should be about taking care of yourself yes nutrition excercize but also family and what's inside your head giving back and growth as a person in their 60s. I seriously feel great look great and can look in the mirror and say hi you look great everyday. I do I for longevity and because my family and friends want me to be around for along time. Old skin looks better under the filters your using! I noticed the unsymmetrical fave ei...eyebrows etc. stop guilting women about and body and start celebrating the fact they've made it to 60 and are still healthy and positive. P.s. The photo with the horse (as I ride as well) the saying the old grey mate she ain't what she used to be LOL
I love those long grey locks, I think it's stunning. No need to look younger when you look the best possible version of your own age
