Linda Evangelista put on a stylish display in black satin button-down dress and kitten heels for her book signing in London
Linda Evangelista was spotted arriving to her book signing in London on Saturday.
The Canadian supermodel, 58, put on a stylish display in an all-black ensemble featuring a satin button-down dress and pointed-toe kitten heels for the event on Dover Street.
The brunette beauty — who broke down in tears while opening up about her botched cosmetic surgery procedure — had arrived late to sign copies of her book, Linda Evangelista Photographed by Steven Meisel, due to ongoing protests.
For the special occasion, she slicked back her voluminous bob with a chic headband and shielded her eyes from the sun with a pair of blue-tinted wayfarer shades.
She was also seen carrying a large, leather envelope clutch purse as she made her way into the bookstore.
She opted out of any other accessories and went for a light makeup look to showcase her ever-youthful, natural beauty.
Earlier this week, Evangelista released her new book collaboration, in which she teamed up with legendary photographer Steven Meisel.
The book chronicles Meisel’s evolving vision of the bombshell and features more than 180 images shot over the course of 25 years.
On September 5, she spoke about the project in a candid interview with The Wall Street Journal Magazine‘s Fall Men’s Style issue.
She said she is ‘so happy celebrating my book, my life’ amid dealing with ‘horrible health issues’.
She also opened up about being diagnosed with breast cancer in 2018 and getting a mastectomy.
She also said she will be donating her book proceeds to a breast cancer research organization.
‘It was detected in my annual mammogram,’ she revealed to the outlet.
‘The margins were not good,’ she continued. ‘And due to other health factors, without hesitation, because I wanted to put everything behind me and not to have to deal with this, I opted for a bilateral mastectomy.’
The surgery was a success, however, she recalled learning that her breast cancer had relapsed when she felt a lump in her breast in July 2022.
After her second diagnosis, she said she had asked her oncologist to ‘dig a hole in my chest’ as she was determined to live.
‘I don’t want it to look pretty,’ she recalled telling her doctor. ‘I want you to excavate. I want to see a hole in my chest when you’re done. Do you understand me? I’m not dying from this.’
Evangelista said that because her future is uncertain, she’s learned to be grateful everyday.
‘I know I have one foot in the grave, but I’m totally in celebration mode,” she said. ‘I’ve come through some horrible health issues. I’m at a place where I’m so happy celebrating my book, my life. I’m so happy to be alive. Anything that comes now is bonus.’
