In my new book, I describe the preparation, the outfit, the shoes, the makeup and the runway walk during Milan Fashion Week for Philipp Plein in February 2020. It was great to be booked for this modeling job in my 70s. Not realizing that the next day Italy would be closed down because of Covid. My flight was the last one that left Milan for Los Angeles. Crazy times…. @XFashion TIMELESS- The Art of Reinvention and Resilience at Any Age 📕 lnk.to/TimelessMayeMusk #ItsGreatToBe78

Happy 13th anniversary to @ZeagooOfficial—13 years of celebrating women, personal style, and every chapter along the way. ✨ I also appreciate Zeagoo’s commitment to supporting women beyond fashion.  This October, the brand will continue that work by raising awareness for breast cancer and women’s health.  To me, true confidence is about feeling healthy, supported, and cared for. #ZeagooXMayeMusk #OwnYourGlow #Zeagoo13th #ZeagooCares #ZeagooMoment

Today is Labor Day. My real job for 40 years was having a dietetic practice. I saw patients in nine cities and three countries. Here are some photos from Los Angeles, Toronto, Johannesburg and Durban. I write about my practice in my new book, coming out in eight days. Very excited 🤗 TIMELESS- The Art of Reinvention and Resilience at Any Age 📕 lnk.to/TimelessMayeMusk

To show this beautiful gown in @marieclaire Serbia better, I asked @grok to give it movement. Which one do you prefer? 1, 2, 3? #ItsGreatToBe78 @XFashion TIMELESS- The Art of Reinvention and Resilience at Any Age 📕 lnk.to/TimelessMayeMusk

My two dogs can sleep at my feet in the Cybercab 🐶🐶🥰🥰

In 2024, @ToscaMusk and I tried out the Cybercab, which is launching today. It really is strange not to have a steering wheel nor pedals, but it will free up a lot of space for my dogs. Also, the trunk is huge.

As this Vogue Hongkong editorial was going to be on a rooftop, I thought I would take DelRey. Well, he stole the scene, until I was lying on the ground. 🥺🥰🐶 More Model stories in my new book coming out mid-September: TIMELESS- The Art of Reinvention and Resilience at Any Age 📕 @XFashion Pre-order lnk.to/TimelessMayeMusk #ItsGreatToBe78

Today is National Dog Day. DelRey and Cali are adorable and my best companions. It’s always sad when I have to leave my little ones to go to work. However, I had to use @grok to get the dogs closer together, remove their toys, then insert me. AI really helps get a picture together. In my new book, I talk about the joy of having dogs.

Our last night in Shanghai with my CAA China agents. Magnificent flowers, fantastic dinner, amazing night view and Teslas, of course. #ItsGreatToBe78 @XFashion

Second day in Shanghai. Shopping. Dining. View.

First day in Shanghai. Runway. Interview. Video. @XFashion

Another staircase look. This time I asked @Grok to change my outfit. Having fun with AI🤗🤗 @XFashion #ItsGreatToBe78 TIMELESS- The Art of Reinvention and Resilience at Any Age 📕 lnk.to/TimelessMayeMusk

What I learned about high fashion, is that when you are at an event and there’s a staircase, you need to be photographed walking down the stairs with a serious expression. Needed help from @Grok AI for the movement. How am I doing? 😉😂 @XFashion #ItsGreatToBe78 TIMELESS- The Art of Reinvention and Resilience at Any Age 📕 lnk.to/TimelessMayeMusk

Every modeling job has a story, but this one was very challenging for me. @XFashion About 15 years ago, I was booked for this job in Breda, the Netherlands. I flew Economy to Düsseldorf, took a train to the German border, then another train to Breda. Fortunately, I could speak German and Afrikaans, which is like Dutch, as in the countryside, many people couldn’t speak English and I had to buy train tickets, order food and take a cab. When we got to downtown Breda, there was a marathon so the streets were closed. I walked six blocks with my luggage to a very economical, small hotel where they couldn’t speak English but we could still communicate. Another new experience, it was the first time a hair stylist glued hair extensions onto my scalp. Afterwords it was really painful taking them out. Oh well, the end result was lovely. You do what you have to do to keep in the business. TIMELESS- The Art of Reinvention and Resilience at Any Age 📕 lnk.to/TimelessMayeMusk

My book is in Vietnamese. Thanks to publisher Hai Dang Cultural Service and Trading Co.

This lovely photo of my book in Albanian was sent to me. The young girl said she took it in Kosovo.

First at the dinner. Giving movement to the photo with @grok It’s more fun. @XFashion TIMELESS- The Art of Reinvention and Resilience at Any Age 📕 lnk.to/TimelessMayeMusk

The difference between an editorial look and a commercial look. No eyebrows, no smile. Eyebrows and smile. @XFashion The story about getting comfortable, in my late 60s, with this transition, is in my new book coming out mid September.

Cali sleeps weird. And yes, she is a shelter dog, a Parsons Jack Russell terrier mix. So beautiful.💖🐶

In 2019, I was flown from New York to Toronto to do an editorial for @FashionCanada I came into the studio and asked where all the models are. They said it’s only me. I was surprised. And then had to make poses that were awkward for me. Looks like they turned out OK. Keep learning… @XFashion More modeling stories in: TIMELESS- The Art of Reinvention and Resilience at Any Age 📕 Pre-order lnk.to/TimelessMayeMusk Thanks @harpercollins @harper_wave

In my early 60s, I was doing mainly paid commercial jobs. When I was asked to do a free creative photoshoot for a makeup book I didn’t quite understand what they meant, but took a chance. The creative team was very talented. I had no idea the photos would look so good. This slow change from catalogs to couture is in my new book coming out mid-September. @XFashion TIMELESS- The Art of Reinvention and Resilience at Any Age 📕 lnk.to/TimelessMayeMusk

For my book in Japanese, the publisher @s_bizbooks chose a different photo for their cover and sent 500 books to be signed🥺🥰 Then @ellejapan did a lovely fashion editorial. @XFashion #AWomanMakesAPlan #ItsGreatToBe78

When I was eight years old, my family drove across the Kalahari Desert every July for three weeks, I would help with cooking. My father wanted to toughen us up, which has helped our whole lives. Who knew, at 69, I would be a @covergirl for four years? @XFashion These stories are in my new book coming out mid September. TIMELESS- The Art of Reinvention and Resilience at Any Age 📕 lnk.to/TimelessMayeMusk

A fashion story, from rejection to success @XFashion The first photo is from the @VOGUE_Germany editorial and interview in March 2019. How did I get this job, at 71? Well, in 2017 I went to Paris Fashion Week for the first time and was invited to a runway show. I lined up and spoke to two women from this magazine for about 20 minutes. When I got to the ticket checker she had my name, but I didn’t have the paper invite. Disappointed, I had to leave. When I returned to my team, I saw they had the paper invite, which said that I need to take it to the runway show. A learning experience …. However, I do think talking to these two lovely ladies while lining up, helped get me get my German book published in Germany, Switzerland, Austria on Dec 10, 2020. Then many virtual interviews came during the Covid lockdown, using my photos. Weird times. #EineFrauEinPlan 📖 #Esisttoll78zusein 💪💃

My book was translated and published in The Netherlands and Belgium on June 10, 2020 during the COVID lockdown. I did some interviews virtually from my Los Angeles apartment, and one at an empty hotel with two photographers wearing masks, 6 feet away from me. As I am fluent in Afrikaans, I could converse with them, although they spoke English well. I have wonderful memories of modeling jobs I’ve done in Amsterdam. So sad that I couldn’t go to the Netherlands or Belgium to promote my book. Those were weird times. #EenVrouwMaaktEenPlan #ItsGreatToBe78 Now😉

I am so happy my Russian publisher has renewed my current book. Спасибо @BomboraBooks They were the first country to publish my book on May 25, 2020. This was during the Covid lockdown!!! I didn’t know translators and printing houses were open in other countries. That was a huge and wonderful surprise. I also did something brave, a photoshoot during Covid in an empty Grand Central and lying down in the street of New York City as there was no traffic 🥺😂😂 #AWomanMakesAPlan #ItsGreatToBe78

So sad that many people won’t celebrate their 90th birthday with children, grandchildren and great grandchildren, like my mom did. My parents’s first born slept in an apple box as they couldn’t afford a crib. When I had my first baby, we were in a small apartment overlooking a garage and couldn’t afford any luxuries like eating out. However I was overjoyed with having an adorable baby. And then two more. Have children!

I am so excited my current book is now in 38 languages and over 100 countries. Thank you to all the women who have purchased my book, and many men too. Men tell me it isn’t only for women, and they are right. 🤗🤗 #AWomanMakesAPlan #ItsGreatToBe78

A nice look for an interview. My publisher is working very hard booking many media appearances in September when my book comes out. Thank you @HarperCollins @Harper_Wave TIMELESS- The Art of Reinvention and Resilience at Any Age 📕 lnk.to/TimelessMayeMusk

About 15 years ago, I modeled a bridal gown on @TheView One of the hosts asked the stylist if I should be wearing white, considering my age. He said, should any bride be wearing white?🥺😂😂 @XFashion Movement and voice by @grok
