Yazemeenah Rossi, the 67-year-old fashion model hailed as the ‘most beautiful grandmother in the world’, started her career in her early 30s.
Born in Corsica, France on December 21, 1955, Yazemeenah Rossi has not only modeled but also acted in films including Timeless Beauty, Relevator, and The Grasslands.
According to Khaleej Times, “Her breakthrough as an ‘older model’ of renown happened in the mid-90s, when the Japanese department store brand Isetan featured her in their print ads and catalogues, pushing older women to the forefront. Having just turned 40 then, she wasn’t quite in the ‘old’ category yet, but her already abundant silver hair made her seem so.”
Before entering the modeling industry, she utilized her skills in crafting clothes, knitting, and providing interior design services to friends and acquaintances within her limited social network.
”I was a mother of two kids at 20, working from home, making clothes, knitting, and interior design for friends and private clients. I knew since teen that I would never work in an office or stay at the same place through all my life, so even at the time when raising my children I was very active and independent,” she told The Fashiongton Post.
