From shaved off eyebrows to floor-length sequin gowns, seasoned supermodel Karen Elson has done it all. 

<p>With one major magazine cover under her belt at&nbsp;the age of 18, British model <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2020/10/12/style/karen-elson-autobiography.html" target="_blank">Karen Elson</a> went on to&nbsp;take the fashion world by storm. Since then, she has racked up over 30 covers, pursued a career in music, <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/pop%20culture/rock-star-supermodel-couples-david-bowie-iman-jerry-hall-mick-jagger" target="_blank">married</a> (and divorced) The White Stripes&#39; Jack White, and gave birth to two children. Elson&#39;s fiery&nbsp;red hair&nbsp;and electric personality have made a splash on numerous haute couture runways, and have been captured in picturesque street style moments. Outside of her modeling career, Elson has kept busy. As the founding member of a&nbsp;political cabaret&nbsp;troupe called&nbsp;the Citizen&#39;s Band, Elson put out a number of songs and even released two solo albums.&nbsp;She&nbsp;has also been a voice for good on social media as she acts as an advocate for children&#39;s rights and speaks out against social injustices. Super in every sense of the word, join<em> L&#39;OFFICIEL</em> in celebrating the model&#39;s&nbsp;birthday by remembering some of Elson&#39;s&nbsp;most-loved looks.&nbsp;</p>
