Elle Macpherson lost her temper while standing in line with customs officials at Dallas-Fort Worth airport in the US.
The Australian supermodel, 59, snapped at a staff member as she was being waved through customs, only to be called back again, Perth Now reported on Sunday.
And the WelleCo founder made no effort to hide her annoyance at having to wait while everyone else had to go through customs.
Forced to wait in line longer than expected, Elle vented her frustration to security and demanded answers.
“Why did you just say I could go through and then tell me I had to come back?” Elle snapped.

She continued: “They just let five people through.” “I was in front of them and now I’m behind again.”
The tall beauty carried a $5,300 leopard-print Christian Dior tote bag and was dressed in a luxe Texas-style ensemble as she delivered her tirade.
Elle’s outburst came after she was criticized by her followers in September when her wellness brand WelleCo failed to deliver paid orders.

After she shared a glamorous selfie on her company’s Instagram account, angry customers who were still waiting for their products lashed out at her.
Some flocked to the comments claiming they had yet to receive orders they ordered a month ago and were being ignored by customer service.
“Why do you have time to post on IG but not receiving back pending orders since September 1st,” one person wrote.

Another said: “Could someone please reply to my email or direct message as I have been charged for my subscription and I still have not received my product.”
“Hello, I tried to get my order! And no one responded to my email and customer service requests,” a third added.
Someone else suggested that Elle and WelleCo should “cut back on advertising” until they were “sufficiently supplied.”
WelleCo CEO Leighton Richards released a statement to address the issue and allay customer concerns by blaming “Upsizing” for the missing orders.
