Evangelista has spoken candidly about aging and getting older in various interviews in recent years
Linda Evangelista is celebrating a new decade in style.
The supermodel turned 60 on Saturday, May 10, and she marked the milestone birthday with a stylish outing in New York City a day later on Sunday, May 11.
Evangelista — who made a name for herself in the modeling world alongside Christy Turlington, Cindy Crawford and Naomi Campbell, where they were collectively known as “The Supers” — kept things classically cool, wearing an oversized suit with a colorful T-shirt underneath.
She accessorized her look with matching black shoes and a pair of brown glasses, as she held onto her phone while walking near a set of stairs.
Evangelista also celebrated Mother’s Day. She reposted a tribute her 18-year-old son Augustin James made for her on her Instagram Stories, which featured a throwback photo of the mother-son pair on the jumbotron at Madison Square Garden in New York City.

Linda Evangelista in New York City on May 11.
In Vogue‘s 2023 September Issue, Evangelista, then 58, got candid about aging, admitting that she “never did mind” getting older because it “gets us to where we want to be, and that’s for me a long life.” She also said that she wants to “stick around” to watch her son grow older
And as for the wrinkles? Evangelista approached the subject with candor, saying that she does “want wrinkles” despite how “hypocritical” that may be since she uses Botox.
In recent years, Evangelista has opened up about the additional changes to her image.
During an October 2023 appearance on The View, she made statements about her mastectomy scars from procedures she endured when she had breast cancer.
“I’m okay with scars,” the model said. “I think scars are trophies. I’m good with scars.”

Elsewhere, in a Harper’s Bazaar cover story published on April 24, Evangelista shared how she’s been dealing with the aftermath of her CoolSculpting procedure that left her “disfigured,” 10 years later.
“I have to go through therapy to like what I see when I look in the mirror, and I still don’t look in the mirror. I didn’t want to see myself because I didn’t love myself or like myself,” she shared. “I’m doing the work, and I’m trying to get to the place where I like myself, flaws and all, and trying to love myself.”

Still, in recent years, she has not let her setbacks keep her from showing her glow. In 2024, Evangelista made an elegant return to the Met Gala. It was her first time at the event since 2015.
For her big moment, she rocked a draped Catherine Holstein gown that felt indelibly her. “I wear a lot of Khaite in my real life,” she explained to Vogue. “I’m really, really, really happy.”
Evangelista made her most recent red carpet appearance days before her birthday. On April 30, she and Augustin (whose father is Kering CEO François-Henri Pinault) stepped out — and coordinated in black suiting — for a rare public outing together at the National Breast Cancer Coalition Host NYC Gala.
