If you followed the fashion world back in the ’90s, then there’s no doubt that you came across model Carolyn Murphy. A famous figure in the style scene when she was younger, she’s just as formidable today at 51 years old. She proved that by taking to Instagram on December 10 to share a photo of herself in a bikini.
Showing the star emerging from a pool, she looks fabulously fit as she wears a simple yet stunning black two-piece swimsuit.
In the caption, she wrote, “A quick but rejuvenating visit to the Estée Lauder Skin Longevity Institute at Alta Gracia. Nature is the ultimate tonic 🦋”
Fans were certainly impressed with what they saw, with one taking to the comments to write, “Go Murph! Healthy holiday vibes!”
“Total goddess,” another follower wrote.
A third person added, “I’ll have whatever she’s having . . . ❤️🔥🫶💋”
Carolyn Has Opened Up About Getting Older
GettyAs Murphy has gotten older, she’s continued to be excited about what her life has to offer.
Taking to Instagram in January 2024, she wrote, “The catch all about getting older, and much of one’s perspective on life in general is— a lot of it is in the mind! We are more powerful than we give ourselves credit for.”
“I turned 50 this past summer and I can honestly say I feel very grateful and excited about this next phase of my life,” she added.
She went on to say, “Nothing makes me more happy than sharing in what I love, with the added bonus of doing what I love.”
The Popular Model Has ‘Embraced Aging in Some Ways’
Getty“I’ve embraced aging in some ways. I feel like I have more wisdom, I feel more comfortable in my own skin,” Murphy told The Kit in February 2021. She explained, “Mentally and emotionally, it’s incomparable to your 20s and 30s.”
“Physically, though, and appearance-wise, I would be remiss to say that I’m not looking at certain parts of my body and going, ‘Oh my God, what is going on there? How can I take charge of that?’ It takes more effort: exercising, increasing certain steps in the skincare routine, making sure that I eat healthier more often than not.”
She continued by saying, “But it’s been an interesting ride, that’s for sure. I have friends in their 50s, 60s and 70s and I’m like, ‘You are more gorgeous now than you were then,’ so I hope to be like that.”
