At 76, Maye Musk continues to challenge age norms with her radiant elegance and enduring style. Renowned as one of the most sought-after senior models, she has built a powerful identity rooted in resilience, independence, and self-assurance, far beyond her recognition as the mother of Elon Musk. A successful model and dietitian, she single-handedly raised three children while maintaining a vibrant career and personal flair.
Rather than hiding her age, Maye celebrates it—she transitioned to her natural silver hair at 60, opts for minimal makeup, and champions timeless fashion choices: rich colors, statement heels, and bold necklines that exude sophistication. Her wellness routine centers on a practical flexitarian eating plan—mostly plant-based with occasional meat—that she credits for her glowing skin and vitality.
Combined with daily activities like stationary bike sessions, yoga, stretching, walks with her dog, and good sleep, Maye maintains both her health and poise.
From pushing back against ageism in modeling (becoming CoverGirl’s oldest ambassador) to walking runways at NYFW and gracing the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue, she underscores that style is ageless. Her philosophy—embrace your age, cultivate energy, and live authentically—has inspired many to redefine what it means to age gracefully.
Do you think she looks younger than her years? What aspects of her lifestyle or attitude stand out most to you?
