Linda Evangelista, 41 and pregnant, is on the cover of the August issue of Vogue. She's the first model, not a Hollywood star, to be featured on the magazine's cover in more than a year.
Evangelista, whose baby is due this fall, isn't worried about her post-pregnancy figure.
"I'm not freaked out at all, I embrace it. I believe I'm doing everything to go through this as smoothly as possible. I'm either doing yoga or exercising every day."
There won't be a "comeback" after the baby's birth, Evangelista says, because she doesn't plan on ever going away.
Sally Singer, fashion news director at Vogue, says someone with a full life, public recognition and a few (or more) years of experience is an even more effective model because the women buying clothes, beauty products and magazines can relate to her.
"Readers and customers respond to images of older women — women who've had lives, women who they know something about. They're more interested in a woman who's had children and still looks great. It's more inspiring than seeing a 14-year-old from a former Eastern Bloc country."
