What The 'World's First Supermodel' Janice Dickinson Looks Like These Days

Janice Dickinson has carried her supermodel features and qualities well into her elder years. Self-proclaimed as one of America's first supermodels, Dickinson enjoys a veteran modeling status that has seen her cover countless magazines, rip runways, and even coach emerging models alongside Tyra Banks on "America's Next Top Model." Not one to drastically change up her look, Dickinson has made dark tresses her signature style for over 50 years. Her hair alone is proof there's some '70s haircuts and styles that you can make work in 2026.

Dickinson's undeniable confidence and superstar persona haven't waned as she's grown older. The Brooklyn native doesn't shy away from using her platform to connect with fans in true Janice Dickinson style, offering her unfiltered opinion on video clips of the new era of runway models. One Instagram post even saw Dickinson double down on her claimed throne of America's "first" supermodel. "The lioness does not concern herself with people saying she's not the world's first supermodel," a video caption read over a glammed-up Dickinson. "I may not be the 'first' but I AM the first to coin the term. And that's just the facts," Dickinson captioned the video reel.

Dickinson keeps a curated look when posting on social media, with much of her Instagram page showing a dolled-up version of herself offering runway reviews. At 71, one of the few chances the public gets to see her makeup-free is in the before photos from a major facelift she got done in Beverly Hills. According to her surgeon, Dickinson is "beyond ecstatic" with the results.

In May 2026, Janice Dickinson unveiled the results from the "major facial rejuvenation" she underwent with Dr. Harrison Lee. The Beverly Hills-based plastic surgeon shared a carousel of videos and images that had "no filters or photo editing" of Dickinson three months post-op. Never one to shy away from cosmetic surgery or remain mum about it, Dickinson later gushed about her facelift, crediting it with giving her a more youthful look to keep up with her booked and busy modeling career.

"I feel better. He shaved 15 years off my life," she told TMZ in June 2026. "People don't really notice it though. I do social media. I'm doing movies. I'm doing runway. I'm back to modeling again. There's so much going on in my life that I needed a fresher Janice."

Dickinson's transparency about her cosmetic procedures over the years has offered fans insight into many of plastic surgery's newest fads — after 100 years of plastic surgery, there are dozens of different procedures. The supermodel even encouraged Kaitlyn Bristowe to go under the knife when appearing on her "Off the Vine" podcast in 2024. "Get a mini facelift. It kept me going up until last week when I noticed these [points to upper lip]," Dickinson said after Bristowe admitted to seeing jowls on her face. "I did smoke for a bit. Don't smoke. It's bad for you," she added. With a long list of cosmetic procedures under her belt, including a tummy tuck, face lifts, and Botox, one would think the iconic model belongs to the ranks of celebs who regretted their face tune-ups, but that isn't the case. Dickinson told Bristowe she has zero regrets when it comes to all the work she's had done. She remains an open book about all the money that goes into maintaining her supermodel status.
