Daphne Selfe, who started modelling in the 1950s, has lamented¹ that today's crop of youngsters walking the catwalk look miserable².

达芙妮·塞尔夫在20世纪50年代就开始做模特，对于当今年轻模特走T台时脸挂着痛苦的表情，她颇为感叹。

The 87-year-old told an audience at the Cheltenham Literature Festival that she enjoyed the experience of posing on the runway. She said she thought it a shame that the same pleasure is not reflected on the faces of today's models which includes the likes of super-surly Cara Delevingne, 23.

Miss Selfe said: 'I like prancing³ on the catwalk. They all look so sullen⁴ now, don't you think? Why it is they all look so miserable? I always enjoy it. I don't think you should grin at the audience but I do think you should look pleasant.'

Miss Selfe has posed for the likes of Dolce & Gabbana, Gap, Nivea and Olay during a career which has spanned more than 60 years.

She has also featured in top fashion magazines like Vogue⁵ and Marie Claire and been photographed by renowned⁶ fashion photographers including Mario Testino.

She currently holds the Guinness World Record for the world's oldest professional fashion model.
