Move over, Madonna, Carmen Dell’Orefice is taking the bedroom for her stunning nude shots.

The supermodel, at age 91, is on the cover of the New York magazine alongside another boundary-breaking beauty, Beverly Johnson, 69, who was Vogue’s first black cover model in 1974.

Dell’Orefice posed naked for the magazine with just the bed covers on.

“Just like working with acclaimed photographer Fadil [Berisha], it’s their perception of what they see in you or me. We are there, a synergy starts to happen, and they bring it out,” the silver-blonde stunner shared why she was open to getting nude for the magazine.

“It’s where their mindset is. The photographer’s mindset is high, not in the gutter. It’s all projection. We’re all silent actresses, and that’s what it’s about.”

Dell’Orefice, way back in 1974, was the cover of Vogue at age 15. This makes her then Vogue’s youngest cover star in history.

“With [photographer] Irving Penn, I brought my first double page in Vogue to life,” she shared.

“He told me to try to breathe as little as possible and don’t move. Just sit there. Irving was a really good friend to me, and he saved my life physically. He made me go to the Vogue staff doctor to ensure I was healthy enough to work because, in those days, you needed permits due to child labor, especially at my young age.”

Dell’Orefice continued her modeling career, including campaigns for Sephora, H&M, and Missoni, and runways shows for Thierry Mugler, Moschino, Isaac Mizrahi, and more.

“Men and women should care for themselves and love themselves. One of the secrets to maintaining beauty is doing what you do for a baby, nurturing and feeding the baby with love,” the New Yorker shared, crediting motherhood and self-love as her beauty secret.

“That’s what we should do with ourselves: nurture ourselves, love ourselves, and give that kind of energy to ourselves.”
