Age is just a number for American actor and model Stephanie Seymour, who can still make heads turn at 51.

Vogue Italia's cover girl for the month of August, she dared to bare on the cover sporting just a black belt and a matching necklace.

Looking fit as ever, Stephanie put her incredible curves on full display. 

'In the Seventies, sex and power entered fashion photography through the lens of Helmut Newton,' wrote the mag as they introduced their cover girl.

'With our August issue, we pay homage to the photography master with a story of women empowerment, because this time behind the lens there is a woman, Collier Schorr, a pioneer of the use of fashion photography to subvert gender and identity conventions.

'Here Stephanie Seymour is no longer the teenage girl of some of the master's most iconic past images.

'She is an active subject, she shares the process with the photographer. A process involving women fully aware of their sexuality, and comfortable in their own skin.

'It is the story of women capable of handling not only the consequences of exposing their body.'

Photographed by Collier Schorr, the cover has been styled by Vanessa Reid.
