Elle MacPherson, 51, shows off her toned tummy and impossibly long legs in crop top and bikini bottoms as she tops up her tan on board a yacht  

She's earned herself the famous moniker, The Body - and it's easy to see why Australian supermodel Elle MacPherson is revered worldwide for her enviable shape. 

The 51-year-old posted a couple of sensational pictures to her Instagram account on Sunday which showed off her youthful and athletic figure.

Get on the sports luxe trend like Elle in a Melissa Odabash bikini

Elle MacPherson shows off her incredible body in this Melissa Odabash rash guard bikin. Sometimes covering up shows off so much more because it allows the viewer to focus on specific parts of the body, and in this case it's her AB-solutely enviable Abs. Or legs. Or everything. But what's also great is that this kind of suit hides things we don't like.

For us who may have some less toned arms, this kind of suit is a god send. Also we love how it's totally surfer girl chic.

Sports luxe or atheletic chic is a trend that started in 2015 but is here to stay. Whether it's scuba material made dresses or collaborative efforts between Mary Katrantzou and Adidas for digitally printed sneakers, fashion has been taking a page out of the sports arena.
