Richard Branson’s airline, 'Virgin Blue', chooses supermodel Elle Macpherson to model its sleek, new flight attendant uniforms.

Business celebrity and supermodel Elle Macpherson has modeled lingerie, swimsuits and haute couture, but she can now add airline uniforms to her long resume. Now based in London to run her company, Elle Macpherson Intimates, the model flew home to Sydney to take part in a fashion show to debut Virgin Blue’s new uniforms for cabin crews and ground attendants. Dressed as a sexy pilot, Elle Macpherson strutted the catwalk with 60 Virgin Blue employees, all decked out in their sleek, new red, black and white uniforms.
Macpherson, known the world over as “The Body,” chose to take part in the Virgin Blue fashion show because of her friendship and admiration for Sir Richard Branson, the owner of Virgin Blue. She told AAP, “I’m here doing a favour for Richard because I think he's very inspiring as an entrepreneur. The work that he’s doing in supporting Australian fashion and Australian travel is very important - he could have chosen a British designer.”
