Linda Evangelista, 58, looks elegant in a satin high-neck top at screening of docuseries The Super Models after revealing she 'no longer feels guilty' over botched cosmetic surgery

Linda Evangelista put on an elegant display as she reunited with her fellow catwalk Queens Christy Turlington, Cindy Crawford and Naomi Campbell on Monday. 

The model, 58, looked as chic as ever in a satin highneck top and wide leg trousers for a screening of her new Apple TV series The Super Models. 

The four-part documentary, which aired in March 2023, charted the rise of four of the biggest '90s supermodels who came to dominate the modelling world. 

Linda, who recently spoke of becoming a 'clinically depressed recluse' after a botched surgical procedure, took part in a Q&A at The West Hollywood EDITION where the four came together to discuss the phenomenon in depth.

She completed her stunning bronze ensemble with a pair of strappy black heels and some statement earrings.

Linda, who was once considered one of the most beautiful and striking beauties in the world, discussed the guilt she once felt after undertaking a surgical procedure.

Speaking to the Times, she discussed how he noted that she used to have fun all the time, and laugh all the time, before the procedure.

However, after it, she says, she because a 'clinically depressed recluse', only venturing out at night where no one would see her.

The treatment was seven sessions of a nonsurgical procedure called CoolSculpting, which was aimed at freezing away fat from her jawline, thighs, stomach and back.

It had gone horribly wrong, and instead thickened that 'expanded into hard, numb bulges that rounds of liposuction and weeks in full-body compression garments could not remedy'. 

According to the Times, it was a comment made by Linda's son Augie a few years ago that encouraged her to return to therapy, so she could once more become the fun loving character she's been.

He said: 'Remember when you used to be so much fun? Remember when you used to laugh all the time?' This, she was a 'wake-up call'  

While the Apple TV+ series basks in the exceptional beauty of the women it didn't shy away from the uglier issues they faced, such as addiction, domestic abuse and racial inequality.

The four came together this week to discuss the phenomenon in depth

As Naomi remarked, 'People feel like we don't hurt and we don't cry, we don't get sad. None of that is true.'

Of the four, the story of south Londoner Naomi is perhaps the most eventful. 

Having been discovered at 15 while shopping in Covent Garden, she told how she'd secretly go on jobs as a teenager while her mother Valerie remained oblivious. 

Yet it was far from easy. The late 80s and early 90s was a period when black models still weren't being given the opportunities of their white counterparts and as Linda Evangelista explained, 'Naomi, I thought, was more beautiful, had a much more rocking body than I did and a better strut and I'm like, "Why aren't they booking her?"' 

She and Christy refused to accept bookings unless Naomi was hired too and as Naomi explained, 'They stood by me and they supported me and that's what kept me going.'

As Naomi remarked, 'People feel like we don't hurt and we don't cry, we don't get sad. None of that is true'

But Naomi's period in the spotlight didn't come without controversy. Already in the throes of a cocaine addiction in her 20s, she checked herself into rehab. 

The series also briefly addressed her anger issues (she was charged with assault in 2006 for hitting her housekeeper with a mobile phone). 'Addiction can cause such huge fear and anxiety, so I got really angry,' she explained.

The four women said they largely avoided the sexual abuse issues that have rocked the industry in recent years, but Linda married her agent Gérald Marie at 22. 

Though they divorced after six years she was horrified when two years ago he faced allegations of sexual misconduct and rape (he denied them and the criminal investigation was closed due to France's statute of limitations). 

She was in tears describing how she felt when she heard the claims and revealed her own abuse at his hands. 'He knew not to touch my face,' she says. 'Not to touch the money-maker, you know?'

Of the four, Linda had more than her fair share of hardship. She fought breast cancer and spoke in the series about the fat-freezing procedure she claims left her 'disfigured' and depressed. 

'I can't like myself with these hard masses and protrusions sticking out of my body,' she said.

The quartet's dominance had already begun to wane in the mid-90s when outrageous glamour went out of fashion and grunge came in. As Linda said in the series, 'When this all comes to a halt, what else do you do?'

Cindy managed to turn herself into a brand, launching a make-up line and appearing in Playboy.

All four kept modelling and after withdrawing from public life after her cosmetic procedure, Linda returned to the catwalk last year.

Martin Brading, a photographer who shot Naomi when she was starting out, said she 'was very cooperative in those days', suggesting she might not have been so cooperative later on.

And as Linda explains, back then there were tricks to capturing the perfect image on film such as holding the end of a skirt up with fishing wire or cinching in a model's waist by slipping a Coke can behind her belt. 

'Nowadays all the magic happens in post-production,' she said. 'In the 80s and the early 90s, all the magic happened exactly at that moment that you heard "click".'
