Career
She soon became a staple of Elle magazine, posing for the magazine for 6 years. While her talent as a model was undeniable, her marriage to the fashion magazine's creative director, Gilles Bensimon, further secured her relationship with the magazine.

She ventured into the world of exercise videos, motivating and teaching people how to stay fit to hopefully end up with a body like hers (probably something every woman would love). She showed off her body on the cover of the much coveted Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition in 1994, with models Kathy Ireland and Rachel Hunter. Already having achieved supermodel status, Elle knew that the glamorous modeling industry has high turnover so she set her sights on other projects. Since the crossover from modeling to acting is a popular and usually successful one, Elle decided to perform in front of film cameras as well as fashion photographers. She first appeared on the silver screen in the 1990 Woody Allen film Alice (the spectacled director personally picked her for the part), but the part required nothing more than a "walk-by."
