We challenge you to take one look at supermodel Daphne Groeneveld's sun-soaked August 2021 ELLE cover and not immediately feel serious summer vibes. With her signature long blonde hair swept up in an artfully undone pile atop her head, oversized visor sunglasses and a neon yellow swimsuit chiming with any power eighties moment, Groeneveld is serving up Baywatch but make it couture.
Don't even get us started on the deliberate tan lines. We can feel a new trend coming on...
At just 26 years old, Groeneveld has more than a lifetime of career highlights under her (Fendi) belt. Scouted as a teenager, the Dutch beauty has clocked over ten years experience in the fashion industry, walking for everyone from Gucci and Marc Jacobs, to Chanel and Loewe. An armful of campaigns for Tom Ford, Louis Vuitton and Miu Miu, to name just a few, and endless glossy magazine covers complete her impressive CV. And she's only getting started.
With her instantly recognisable combination of wide-set eyes, sky high cheekbones and what can only be described as one of the best mouths in the business, Groeneveld's striking looks have cemented her place in fashion history. But, it's her skincare secrets that we really want to know. From ice cold face tools, to SPF tips from her mum, Groeneveld shares her tips for keeping that supermodel complexion in tip top condition in the latest episode of 5 In 5.
'A make-up artist once told me to put my face tools in a bowl with ice and honestly it's such a game changer,' she tells ELLE. 'Now these are nice and cold it really helps to de-puff and tighten your skin and makes you ready for the day.'
