Linda Evangelista is making her modelling comeback.
The 57-year-old star is regarded as one of the world’s top supermodels and was one of the most famous women in the world in the late 80’s and throughout the 1990’s alongside the likes of Naomi Campbell and Kate Moss.
Throughout her career she’s been featured on over 700 magazine covers, but the supermodel took a step back from work and the public eye after suffering from a botched cosmetic procedure.

This is a cosmetic fat removal procedure to reduce fat under her skin, however the operation had the opposite effect as she suffered a complication of paradoxical adipose hyperplasia (PAH).
The Canada native then pursued legal action against the cosmetic company seeking $50 million in damages for emotional distress and lost income.
She said at the time: “To my followers who have wondered why I have not been working while my peers’ careers have been thriving, the reason is that I was brutally disfigured by the CoolSculpting procedure which did the opposite of what it promised.
Adding: “It increased, not decreased, my fat cells and left me permanently deformed even after undergoing two painful, unsuccessful, corrective surgeries … I have been left, as the media has described, ‘unrecognisable.'”
But one of the world’s most recognisable faces is back as Linda took to Instagram to share a glossy snap as part of a Fendi campaign.
She shared the promotional pic on social media to promote the “special fashion show in New York City to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the #FendiBaguette” that will take place September 9th.

This comes as she took to Instagram to announce that she has settled the lawsuit with the company and is looking forward to moving on from the life-changing procedure.
The statement reads: “I’m pleased to have settled the CoolSculpting case. I look forward to the next chapter of my life with friends and family, and am happy to put this matter behind me.”
She added: “I am truly grateful for the support I have received from those who have reached out.”
