Estelle Lefébure, an ode to vitality
-“Don’t fight against the passing of time”
At 58, far from the podiums, Estelle Lefébure is signing her sixth book. The day after its publication, on January 22, she came to promote it on the set of C to you. Above all, she insists: “We cannot fight time”. And beware of anyone who thinks they are well-meaning by telling her that she doesn’t look her age. Under these compliments, the model criticizes this sentence for its share of injunctions. “That means that at a certain point we should look like this or that,” she gets annoyed. Not looking your age doesn’t mean anything.”
Although she says she welcomes old age calmly, she nevertheless admits that she cannot yet come to terms with her gray hair. “I can’t figure it out, maybe it’s the salt and pepper side, I don’t know,” she tries to explain. Everyone has their own pace.
