Kim Alexis at 65: ‘80s Supermodel Embraces Aging Naturally Without Cosmetic Procedures

Kim Alexis, the iconic ‘80s supermodel who graced over 500 magazine covers and starred in six Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issues, is approaching her 65th birthday with a refreshing outlook on aging. Embracing her natural beauty, Alexis has openly rejected cosmetic procedures, choosing instead to celebrate the wrinkles she’s earned over a remarkable career.

"I’m a firm believer in staying as natural as possible," Alexis shared in a candid conversation. "I’m turning 65 soon, and I’ve earned every line on my face. I’m not here to prove anything—just to be myself." Her philosophy isn’t about judgment; it’s about setting an example. She acknowledges the choices of others while confidently paving her own path, inspiring women to embrace aging on their own terms.

Alexis draws inspiration from peers like Christie Brinkley and Paulina Porizkova, who’ve also been vocal about their aging journeys. "We’re all just trying to be our best," she noted. For her, that means maintaining a youthful spirit, staying active, and making health-conscious decisions. Whether it’s biking, rowing, or hitting the gym with her husband for leg workouts, physical activity remains a cornerstone of her life—even after knee issues forced her to retire from running marathons.

Her beauty routine is equally grounded in simplicity: hydration, moisturizing, and weekly exfoliation keep her skin glowing, while she keeps her silver strands golden. "I’m a natural person," she emphasized. "I like using what God put on this planet to heal and sustain me."

Reflecting on her Sports Illustrated days, starting with her 1982 debut, Alexis recalls the thrill of shooting in exotic locales like Kenya and Jamaica. Being comfortable in a swimsuit came naturally to her as a lifelong swimmer, though the attention from male audiences was an unexpected shift. Her Hollywood stint, including a memorable appearance in the final episode of Cheers, marked another high point—complete with a signed script she still cherishes.

Now settled in Arizona with her family, Alexis continues to connect with fans online, offering advice on aging gracefully. Her message is clear: joy, gratitude, and kindness are the true elixirs of youth. "If you’re joyful about life, people are drawn to that spark," she said. At 65, Kim Alexis isn’t just aging—she’s redefining what it means to shine.
