Iman, age 59 Her style: Glamorous, sumptuous, structured

Discovered by photographer Peter Beard at Nairobi University in Kenya, Somalia-raised fashion model Iman graced the pages of American Vogue in 1976 and soon became the muse for high-end designers from Gianni Versace to Yves Saint-Laurent. In addition to being one of the first-ever black supermodels, Iman is also the founder of the eponymous cosmetics line for women of color.

"When I was modeling, you have to wear whatever they ask you to," Iman told WWD. "When I stopped, I started wearing silhouettes that really work for me." Since then, Iman's style has been defined by luxurious fabrics and structured cuts, such as cashmere sweaters, tailored suits and palazzo pants (her favorite) -- never finished without a piece of statement-making jewelry.
