Yazemeenah Rossi, born in 1955, challenges the notion that beauty is confined to youth. Known as “the world’s most beautiful grandmother,” she started her modeling career at 30, defying industry norms. Despite continuous success, she notes the modeling world still predominantly favors the young.
“I knew since my teens that I would never work in an office or stay in one place all my life,” Rossi shares. Her secret to ageless beauty involves embracing a playful spirit, debunking assumptions about cosmetic procedures. “I haven’t had any cosmetic surgery. The idea of going under the knife when I’m perfectly healthy doesn’t make much sense to me.”
Rossi’s beauty regimen includes natural practices like using oil on her skin, scrubbing with olive oil and sugar, and a daily avocado. She emphasizes that aging is beautiful and believes in modeling as a celebration of witnessing beauty and energy. In essence, she encourages older women to embrace their bodies, affirming self-worth and standing against ageism.
