Linda Evangelista has sent fans wild thanks to some behind-the-scenes snaps alongside fellow model Kate Moss.
The comeback star, 57, shared a series of images to social media on Monday [September 12], as she continues her return to the world of modelling after spending years away from the spotlight following a cosmetic procedure which left her "brutally disfigured".
Earlier this month, Linda appeared on the cover of British Vogue and said she still hasn't recovered from the ordeal as she posed with her face held by tape and elastic - her first magazine cover in decades.
Taking to Instagram, the model looked stunning as she cosied up to Kate, 48, in a striking turquoise ensemble, alongside a collection of other snaps taken during a recent catwalk campaign for fashion house Fendi.
Linda made a surprise cameo on the catwalk at Fendi's New York Fashion Week show on Friday, after 15 years away from the runway - receiving a standing ovation as she looked radiant in the striking blue gown as she stood alongside Marc Jacobs, Kim Jones, Delfina Delettrez and Silvia Venturini Fendi for a final bow.
Sharing some behind-the-scenes snaps on Monday, captioned "Fendi BTS", Linda's followers and famous friends rushed to compliment the model and heap praise on her bravery amid her public battle with dodgy cosmetic surgery.
"Go Linda!! F***ing fantastic ! You’re brave and gorg!!" Debi Mazar told the star underneath her post, as Editor-in-Chief of British Vogue Edward Enninful gushed: "My loves @lindaevangelista and @katemossagency."
Another follower quipped "Beauty inside and out," as one fan declared: "So fabulous to see you in your element! Exquisite—as always!"
The fashion world has rallied around the Canadian supermodelafter she suffered a rare reaction to a fat freezing procedure six years ago, which she said left her "permanently deformed".
"Am I cured mentally? Absolutely not. But I’m so grateful for the support I got from my friends and from my industry…" Linda admitted to British Vogue last month, as she posed for the cover of the magazine with her face held by tape and elastic.
"You’re not going to see me in a swimsuit, that’s for sure. It’s going to be difficult to find jobs with things protruding from me; without retouching, or squeezing into things, or taping things or compressing or tricking," she told the publication.
In September last year, Linda took to her Instagram to announce that she had filed a lawsuit in New York against Zeltiq Aesthetics for grievous injuries.
Speaking about the procedure, she told the magazine: "If I had known side effects may include losing your livelihood and you’ll end up so depressed that you hate yourself… I wouldn’t have taken that risk."
The case has since been settled, with the model saying she was looking forward to the next chapter of her life.
In a social media post, Linda said: "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.
"I am truly grateful for the support I have received from those who have reached out."
