Carolyn Murphy was a top model in the 1990s when she worked for Calvin Klein, posed for Vogue and hung out with Cindy Crawford.
And she still gets a lot of work today as she maintains her youthful appearance through hard work.
As she debuted her new Marie Claire cover, she commented on her look in an Instagram caption.
“The thing about getting older and looking at life in general is that a lot of it is in your head!” wrote the honey-blonde beauty, adding: “We are more powerful than we give ourselves credit for.”
Murphy then focused on 50: “I turned 50 last summer and I can honestly say I have never been more excited for this next phase of my life.”
Jennifer Aniston, Charisma Carpenter and Brooklyn Decker liked the post.

She continued, “People ask me 'what's your secret' to aging and my answer is never linear and we all know that what works for one may not work for another.”
She then admitted that she has her own tricks in her makeup bag.
“Yes, I have access to the best potions and health hacks, but it's so much more than that,” the Vogue model said.
She didn't name her “potions” and “health hacks,” but it is known that she uses the Estee Lauder products she endorses and is also an avid surfer. She also told Vogue in 2017 that she loves bone broth, eats lots of vegetables, and also eats healthy snacks like almond butter.
It turns out she's also trying her best to make herself happy.
“I would like to say that, aside from the obvious answers, taking care of my mental and emotional state has always been a priority,” Carolyn admitted.
“I commit to following my intuition when making decisions (which gets better with age) and I take the time to nourish my soul (sometimes to the dismay of others because I am not always out there and available).
“I have been following, advocating and sharing the path to wellness for three decades.”
“This is of course not without setbacks and challenges, with the last two years being the most intense (more on that another time).

“This shoot and the feature specifically for Marie Claire was a reminder in all of the above,” she said of her new magazine cover.
