A few years ago, as Maye Musk was about to step onto the runway at some fabulous fashion show during the fifth decade of her illustrious career, a young model approached her looking for advice.
The model was upset, it turns out, because she had been rejected from a casting call for Gucci. “But, she said, ‘I’m doing Dior and Givenchy.’ So I said, ‘Those are three brands that have never even considered me. You’re doing just fine.’ And she felt good about it, because I’m a supermodel. She’s just an ordinary model, but I haven’t done what she has.”
It’s pretty obvious why people love to ask Musk for advice. Her inspiring example as a model who broke beauty barriers when she became a face of CoverGirl in 2017, at the age of 69, and her undeniable positivity are enhanced by a charm that is impossible to resist. Besides that, she’s a dietitian and nutritionist who holds several advanced degrees, and also, famously, a great mum. Her three children are successful in their own right. Her oldest son is so famous that people often introduce Maye Musk, who’s now 72, as “Elon’s mother”, but in the fashion world, he is still just “Maye’s son”.
