The famous name was only 17 when she appeared on the cover of “Glamour Magazine.” It was a success most models would reach in their 30s.
When she was 31, the Time Magazine named her as the All-American model, which turned her into a cultural icon.
At 31
In her recent social media post, the model shared a throwback picture, where her fans praised her as, “How did you even look like that! Insane! 🥳,” “Oh my gosh, just ICONIC.❤️ “”So pretty and natural…😉.”
On the 1st of July, 2000, the supermodel welcomed her twins via surrogate. She was married to Rod Stryker at the time, and had a 9-year-old son.
“I love the way my life has unfolded,” the superstar said. As a grandmother now, she praised her granddaughter. “My grand, Elektra, always sticks out her pretty little pink tongue when she smiles,” she captioned the picture she shared with her granddaughter back in 2020.
She aged naturally, as she never underwent a plastic surgery, or tried to “fix herself,” to fit the beauty standards of Hollywood.
“Nothing makes me feel older. Only I know all of the years of insecurity and the hard work that have gone into what I’ve done.”
“I was being paid a lot of money to do something that I enjoyed doing,” the super model shared about her career. “You can’t just hope that it happens; you really have to make the effort.”
“Do something that makes you happy. I love reading, and I gave that up for a while. Now I’m back to that. Find friends who make you laugh. I just want friends in my life who are positive influences — that’s where I’m at now. It’s a nice, healthy, happy state,” she stated.
She thought her title, “first American supermodel,” gave her a recognition. “Someone of course gave me that title. I think it’s a way of saying that I didn’t just drop out of sight after a very successful career in modeling; I went on to start other businesses.”
“It’s the first time in my life when I haven’t had to set the alarm in the morning and get up and go to work. I’m kind of on sabbatical. I think about writing a book every once in a while, but sometimes I get sick of talking about myself,” the star said after she appeared under the spotlight once again.
Cheryl Tiegs, the legendary model of America is now 77, and she is still shining like the sun.
