History repeats itself. And when it comes to Elle Macpherson, it repeats itself beautifully. The stunning 49-year-old former supermodel covers Harper’s Bazaar Australia‘s August issue wearing nothing but black stockings, a striking image that’s an homage to her iconic Playboy cover from 1994, taken when she was 30.

Looking stunning with tousled beachy waves and minimal makeup and clad in only black hosiery, the model, who was known as “The Body” at the height of her career, stares alluringly at the camera, her naked body barely covered by her strategically crossed legs and arms. The photographer she’s posing for? Canadian singer and lensman Bryan Adams, who reportedly dated the supermodel in 2007.

Harper‘s editor-in-chief Kellie Hush, who chose Macpherson for its “Fabulous at Any Age” issue, told The Daily Telegraph, “When I approached Elle she immediately said she would love to work on this project with Bryan Adams, who is her dear friend, a music megastar and an accomplished photographer. It was a collaboration match made in heaven.”
