Jerry Hall would rather retire than have cosmetic surgery.
The 70-year-old model thinks some of the women in the public eye who have gone under the knife to improve their appearane just look "scary" and she would resist any pressure to do the same.
Asked if she thinks people try to hard to look perfect, she said: “Let’s face it, plastic surgery is not perfected.
"Look at the photos from the Oscars. Look at the women! They look scary.
"I guess some people have to do it for their career, but I would just rather retire.”
Jerry has embraced the signs of ageing and doesn't want to "scare" her grandchildren by changing her appearance with Botox and fillers.
“I think we should be allowed to look 70. Why not? Why should we try to look 50? I mean, you want to look a good 70.
“What’s wrong with wrinkles? I have loads of wrinkles, but I don’t mind. I’m 70, I should have wrinkles. I don’t want to look weird, I don’t want to scare my grandchildren.”
And Jerry dismissed suggestions she relies on dermatologists, doctors and other experts to keep her looking her best.
She said: “Nooooo. I don’t go to the doctor. Never! I think medicine’s bad for you. I don’t want to find anything wrong with me.”
Jerry is delighted she is still getting booked for work, including starring in a Burberry campaign with her daughters and two of her grandchildren last year.
She said: “I mean, years ago, I would never be asked to do a modelling job at 70.”
She is also relieved the shift in the fashion industry has seen a move away from the idea of "age-appropriate" dressing.
She said: “I think it’s terrible. That thing of an ‘older lady’ line and it’s all beige. It used to be ugly shoes that are comfortable, ugly clothes that are grey and beige and dull.
“I think it’s fun to be able to dress in a way that looks good on your figure. I’m very lucky I didn’t lose my figure. So I think I should be able to wear anything.”
And Jerry won't be ditching her trademark long locks for a "hideous" shorter cut.
She said: “There’s always this thing – you get old and you have to cut your hair short and have this short blue-grey hair.
“I think it’s a hideous look. I think you shouldn’t do it, no matter what the magazines say.
“We should stand up for our rights to be old and look good!”
