61-Year-Old Model Absolutely Rocks Her Swimsuit Campaign, And Shares Her Beauty Secrets
739Kviews
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””

Well. 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.
Dont be so envy. It's obviously photoshoped. But probably she is pretty without it.
That is rude. I don't think she is photoshopped. I am 66 and work out and take care of myself. My figure is so much like hers.
We are blessed to have good genes. I am thankful for that.

All photos are untouched except the one in her topless black circle shall. Her face is airbrushed there.
yes is it because all model or magazine photoshoped their pictures..
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.
Well.. horse... some people have weird taste in these things.
I think what is perceived is more of a reflection of the observers' perception of women rather than the woman herself or the art. I saw a beautiful, powerful woman not afraid to show her skin to the world because she is not ashamed of herself as society expects her to be; to me, there was nothing sexual about it....but that is my perception. :p
Being thin and in great shape is sexualized? :')
She is a Targaryen :)
Exactly what I was thinking!
That's not that unique for 61. I know many active women in their 60's that look this good.
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

She won the genetic lottery...
Many people win that lottery but do not maintain a healthy lifestyle & eventually look like crap.
There most people that you think on all the whole world but not many are on magazines :)
I'm not sure if I can manage to see my 61 with all these fast food and stationary life...
How is this less sexualised than using a younger modal?
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
Beautiful woman. Looks like she gots some good genetics.
Genetics play a huge part too...
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.
<3
We all need to moisturise!!
Spelling, dear. Moisturize.
Here in Ireland (and English speaking countries within Europe) it's moisturise, not moisturize. So you're correct Stephan.
Thanks, I'm french, so learning is an on going process
I'm 26 I hope I look this good when I'm 30!!
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!
This comment is hidden. Click here to view.
I cannot see any of the giveaways that are most usually present when a picture is Photo shopped.
WOW, just WOW :O:O AWESOME!!!
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.
Füüsiline ilu sõltub sisemisest mõtlemisest-olgem positiivsed!
organic food and photoshop is the secret.
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...
Wow
Kudos to her and these beautiful photos! Love the photos with the horse; she looks like an Elvan goddess. Looking healthy and radiant at 61 (or any age!) is a health goal. Knock on wood; 49 is so far so good!
I envy her , true beauty.
Wow!!! Everyday fast food and junk food will damage us :(
Whoaa je juste cannot believe this
“You look marvelous”!
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!
She's beautiful , breath taking..
rapeseed oil? :D :D maybe you meant grapeseed? (i hope so)
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.

Wow she's beautiful
She looks great!!!!
She looks great!!!
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
OLD IS GOLD :)
Something's fishy. She looks retouched in some areas. Plus I've never met a person with grey hair that has such dark eyebrows.
I'm assuming she uses "grapeseed" oil in her hair?
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.
Love the hair. Wish more women would go gray... it's sexy.
Life goals!!💋😆
Her hair! WOWOWOWOW
have you ever heard about photoshop?
Even 40 doesnt looks so good if she doesnt take care about her health, body, condition and good diet.
Could you please correct - GRAPEseed oil on the text!
Maybe it should be GRAPEseed oil not without the G . Respect for the healthy lifestyle :)
Beautiful lady!
Pics are so photoshopped , it's embarrassing.
Gee, I really couldn't tell that she is in her sixties because many 50, 40 or even 30 women have white hair and neck/face wrinkles. Just pointing out the "wow shitery*. Yes she really does look healthy & good for her !
...
What she is doing with that horse?
*are all*
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!
She's gorgeous wow
What a bunch of crap... 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 👏
Gorgeous woman! #Goals
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.
Füüsiline ilu sõltub sisemisest tundest,olge optimistid!
Amazing
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
She is so beautiful.
"Please notice my side fanny....Looketh NOT at my cankles!"
Caption: Please notice my side fanny.... 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
That doesn't make someone any less beautiful!
Having kids is no excuse to turn in to a fat lump of lard.
She is a beautiful lady!
I know 40 year olds who look older than her :)
Anyone reminded of the 93-year-old yoga teacher? Some people age really well! She is beautiful.
amazing!!
She looks fantastic, her skin is amazing!
So beautiful, thats what you get for living healthy. And good genes too
Yea she seems almost unreal
She is really beautiful ! I wanna look that great @ 61
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.
Proof there is hope!
o kadar insan etkilendiğini yazmış, ne safsınız, size 61 yaşında böyle görünmenin sırrını söyleyeyim: photoshop
She seems almost unreal....like an angel...
She's an absolute vision O_O and her hair is just...perfection!

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
She looks great but cut the hair so you will look much younger.
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
I agree. The hair is ugly and unbecoming. Cut that old dried out straw off.
I'm a bit over forty now. Ten years on and this might be quite okay to me. :-D
Well. It's more than just organic food. The choices of food are important. But genes and lifestyle are big factors.
