— -- Elle Macpherson is the definition of age just being a number.

The supermodel may be 50, but she's still stunning.

Macpherson spoke to Ocean Drive magazine and revealed her secrets to looking so good, even after the milestone.

"'Beauty at every age' is such a boring cliché, but beauty is not just reserved for youth," she said. "There’s a big movement that supports that. I didn’t feel any kind of milestone pressure turning 50 at all, perhaps because I’ve been preparing for this stage of my life for a long time."

The former Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model and Australian beauty just turned 50 this past March. Not to mention she has two children -- Flynn, 16, and Aurelius, 11.

"In my 40s, I started to focus on health and wellness; I stopped drinking and taking any drugs—even aspirin—and I began really cleaning out my system," she added. "By the time I hit 50, I didn’t feel any sort of plateau physically, and it didn’t feel like a shock emotionally either. It wasn’t like, Oh my gosh, I’d better get myself together before I turn 50; it was more like I was reborn."

Macpherson even said she didn't expect the response she got this past July when she posted a selfie in a bikini and everyone was amazed at her flawless figure.

"I got an e-mail from my business partner asking, ‘Can you take a selfie while you’re on holiday, so I can post it?’ And I said, ‘Ugh, I don’t really do selfies.’ So I asked my stepdaughter to snap it," she said. "I had just gone for a swim when we did it. I just tweeted it and didn’t really even think anything of it. It had a phenomenal response."

Finally, the model opened up about her husband Jeffrey Soffer.

"My greatest gift is my husband who I adore and our family; we have five children between us in different parts of the country, and life is rich and fulfilling and sometimes really hectic," she said.
