Elle Macpherson, 59, makes a spectacular return to the catwalk for the first time in 14 years at the Melbourne Fashion Festival

Elle Macpherson returned to the catwalk at the PayPal Melbourne Fashion Festival on Monday.

The Australian model took to the catwalk for the first time in almost 14 years, opening the event at the Royal Exhibition Building.

The 59-year-old, who turns 60 this month, proved she’s still The Body as she strutted down the catwalk in a Viktoria + Woods ensemble.

The caramel-hued ensemble included two thick wool sweaters, one around her neck, as well as brown satin pants.

She added a loose brown coat on top and called for a touch of drama as she removed her sunglasses.

Next, she showed off a Bianca Spender look, which included a bright yellow trench coat and matching pants.

Next up was an all-black ensemble from Aje, with Elle looking stunning in a sheer ruffled dress that showed off her bust.

On top of that, she was wearing a black jacket and a pair of leather mules.

The model looked decades younger as she flaunted her youthful face with clean makeup.

The founder of WelleCo Australia last walked for Louis Vuitton in Paris in 2010.

Elle told him Daily Telegraph I was more than happy to kick off the distinctly Australian fashion event.

“I’m grateful to be back home, not to necessarily be seen as an icon, but I’m grateful for my Australian heritage,” she said.

‘I have had an extraordinary career that has given me unusual and interesting experiences and I am extremely grateful.

Elle previously said she’s confused why her return to the runway has made headlines.

“The headline says ‘back on track,’ but that’s not really the case,” he told the newspaper. Sydney Morning Herald.

‘This is just an evolution of how to do things. Anyway, it’s been 11 years since I walked, or 10 years, 15 years or whatever.

“This was really worth it because I am passionate about supporting Australian fashion and young designers, and I love Melbourne.”
