One of the fashion world’s most timeless beauties reached her diamond year today. Iman—a Somali native who was discovered while attending university in Kenya at age 19—paved the way for black models to be treated equally in the industry from when she first touched down in the U.S. in 1975. The supermodel appears ageless in photos both on and off the red carpet: Editorials from the ’80s look identical to ones from 2015, which speaks to good skincare, good genes and, of course, Iman’s inner beauty. Iman says her next step is changing perceptions of age in America.
