Elle ‘The Body’ Macpherson, who unforgettably heated up the cover of the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Cover a record five times, proved age is just a number as she sizzled in a new photo for her ongoing campaign for Australian underwear brand Bonds.
Macpherson graced the iconic cover 3 years in a row starting in 1986, according to the mag’s history, before returning in 1994. In 2006, the beauty was invited back for a special All-Star group cover.
Right behind Macpherson with 3 covers each are Cheryl Tiegs, Christie Brinkley, Kathy Ireland, Daniela Pastova, and Kate Upton.
Back in February, she stunned in a black set for the brand.
Elle Macpherson Previously Reflected on Living Up to Her Nickname ‘The Body’
In a 2023 Instagram post, the mom of two shared a collection of her throwback modeling photos and said being dubbed “The Body” was “a little daunting.” She recalled it was Time Magazine who first coined the nickname. Macpherson said at the time, she associated wellness with fitness, and it took her two decades to make a shift towards the realization that “beauty actually begins within.”
She said now, wellness to her means “feeling that I’m presenting and living my optimal version of myself.”
Who Is Elle Macpherson Dating?
The day after Valentine’s Day 2026, Macpherson reflected on love and shared an affectionate black and white photo with her boyfriend, musician Doyle Bramhall II. “Love is the highest way to be. It’s connectedness and respect of uniqueness – yours as well as all others and all of nature and existence in its quirks and turns and surprises,” she wisely wrote in the caption.
Macpherson began dating the 57-year-old Texas native around fall 2022, after splitting from her previous boyfriend, Andrew Wakefield, in 2019.
Robert Irwin Has Also Modeled for Bonds
Reigning ‘DWTS’ champ Robert Irwin is another famous face who has stripped down for the Australian underwear brand. Ahead of his stint on the reality competition, he revealed to “The Today Show” what is like having his family see the photos. The 22-year-old joked that his family told him, “There are some things we can’t unsee.”
He also talked about how special it was being part of the campaign, saying, ““It was wonderful, because Bonds, who’s like a massive, iconic underwear company in Australia, they came to me and said, ‘We wanna do something that heroes Australian wildlife.’ And I’ve dedicated my life to conservation, to carrying on an important legacy – protecting animals.”
