Supermodel Carol Alt may not be a frequent face on the runway anymore, but she’s still strutting her stuff on social media.
Alt, 65, kick-started her modeling career in the late 1970s, but rose to stardom in the ’80s when she hit the cover of the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue. Known as “The Face” thanks to her gorgeous looks, the beautiful brunette graced hundreds of magazine covers throughout the ’80s and went on to a successful acting career, with appearances on everything from animated series like King of the Hill to reality shows like The Celebrity Apprentice in 2008. A uterine cancer survivor, Alt attributes her excellent health to her raw food regimen. As anyone can see from her latest Instagram reel, her health regimen is likely working just fine.
Sporting a stunning black dress and leopard-print print sandal heels, the model brought out her “inner can-can girl” as she looked more glamorous than ever.
“A little kick, a little attitude… and absolutely no sensible footwear in sight,” the brunette beauty said as she flipped her gams around for the camera.

The Unhealthy Modeling World
While Alt was one of the most famous models in the world, she struggled tremendously to stay on top. That meant starving herself to stay thin.
“I suffered through my modeling career because I was always tired, and I was always malnourished. I was always trying to keep my weight down,” she told Fox News in 2023. “I didn’t eat, and when I ate, I ate garbage because I really did not know what to eat.”
That all changed when Alt discovered a raw food diet. She found a doctor whom she referred to as a “guru” who guided her through the process.
“I didn’t know what to eat in the morning, in the afternoon, in the evening, how much, and what would keep my energy going, and there were so many times I suffered,” Alt noted. “I wish when I was 18, 19 years old and somebody said to me, ‘You should eat your vegetables raw.”
