Older models: Eveline Hall

Having worked as a ballerina, an actress and a Las Vegas showgirl, Eveline Hall was in her mid sixties when she started modelling. I noticed this week that the French brand American Vintage has used her in their latest ad campaign. Which is good news, it’s just a shame they’ve dressed her in such dreary clothes.
The American Vintage execs should have followed the Guardian’s All Ages line-up for a lesson in How Not To Dress A Mature Model. Hall looks so much more striking in monochrome or red, or monochrome and red:

But, I do like American Vintage t-shirts and own the Jacksonville v-neck in a range of different colours. Available to buy in a selection of neutral shades and non-dreary electric blue HERE.
And I will be adding these images to my new ‘ Gorgeous Grey Hair’ Pinterest board. You can follow me on Pinterest HERE.

There was a great Eveline Hall quote in French Elle (which I found via A Femme d’Un Certain Age; thanks, Tish):
‘ What’s the best age? I would say it’s this very moment. I would like to be an inspiration for young women, to prove there are no age limits. My face reflects my life, my personality. One has to forget about surgery and liftings, one can be beautiful and sexy, but one can no longer be young.’
She's fabulous! I'm most intrigued by the shots in which she appears to be wearing very little mascara or eyeliner. While she carries off the heavier eye makeup in the other shots beautifully, she also looks great in a polished "natural" eye. As my own eyes and surrounding tissue age, and as I suffer increasingly frequent bouts of eyelid irritation, I'd love to know how she carries this off so well — it helps, obviously, to have magical eyes with so much eyelid real estate to contour. Any tips for mere mortals of post-60?
