Remember '70s Supermodel Marisa Berenson? She's Still A Total Knockout

In the '70s, supermodel Marisa Berenson was all the rage, appearing on the covers of magazines like Vogue and acting in films like "Cabaret." Today, Berenson is still a knockout, posing confidently on red carpets decades later. Berenson, who turned 79 in 2026, attended a number of Paris Fashion Week events that year, including the Givenchy Womenswear Fall/Winter 2026-2027 show. Berenson has maintained her slim physique, which she draped in a tailored black suit for the occasion. Perhaps her most recognizable features are her captivating doe-like green eyes, enhanced with a shimmery gray shadow and a full circle of dark liner. Adding an extra layer of chicness to her look, she accessorized with dangly earrings. She wore her hair in a wavy mid-length cut, a perfect look for older women.

"I don't let age get in the way of my life. I continue to do the things I want to do and thank God I'm able to do it," the model told The Guardian. "I feel better about a lot of things now than I did when I was younger, and creatively I think I'm much better now. I'm more secure within myself." As far as her career is concerned, the "Barry Lyndon" star continues to grace covers of publications like Elle and Harper's Bazaar and has even expanded into new ventures like releasing a home collection with Zara.

Though Marisa Berenson stands confident in who she is and how she looks today, it wasn't always that way. In fact, despite being the granddaughter of renowned designer Elsa Schiaparelli, she was rather surprised by her success as a supermodel, especially as she compared herself to other women in the industry. "I wasn't brought up to think that I was beautiful or told I was beautiful. So when I started out in this career, I was astonished actually," Berenson told designer Tom Ford (via Interview Magazine). "I used to go into [Irving] Penn's studio, and there were always very sophisticated women around ... They all had very high cheekbones and skinny noses and looked like ladies ... but I looked like a child. I had a round face and a nose that wasn't aquiline at all, and I didn't understand what people thought."

Like legendary '60s model Edie Sedgwick, Berenson had a standout look that helped define her era. However, accepting her appearance took a lot of work and the adaptation of a carefree attitude. Check out these mindset coach tops for owning your self-confidence.
