Last week, a simple two-second GIF stopped us dead in our tracks: that of supermodel Carolyn Murphy, blowing bisous at Bruce Weber, her chiseled abs twisting back and forth in frame. The 41-year-old stunner and mother of one had already secured her status as all-American icon, gracing seven Vogue covers in the ’90s and early ’00s, but looking at her long, lean limbs, it’s hard not to wonder how she’s maintained the pitch-perfect shape of a college graduate.
It seems that an ageless Instagram body, like Murphy’s, demands an outdoorsy approach. There’s frequent surfing in Montauk, where she spends her summers, and leisurely bike rides down winding dirt paths. At her arcadian California retreat—the model’s “happy place”—she spends hours riding her white and brown speckled horse across Ojai, interspersed with the occasional Ballet Beautiful class to help tone muscle. Perhaps best of all, Murphy is dedicated to transcendental meditation, which, when practiced outside surrounded by leafy ferns and palm trees, might as well be the fountain of youth. Namaste, everyone.
