Elle Macpherson was dubbed "The Body" when she rose to fame as a stunning supermodel in the '80s - and at the "Britain's Next Top Model" launch party Wednesday night, Macpherson earned her moniker.

The 47-year-old showed up at the event in a pair of jaw-dropping skintight PVC pants.

Macpherson - who is the new host of "Britain's Next Top Model" - paired her shiny pleather pants with a loose-fitting white T-shirt and sky-high stilettos.

"Elle ups the ante," said Macpherson's fellow judge Julien Macdonald to the Daily Mail. "She's 47 with the body of an 18-year-old. She looks incredible. She's so inspiring."

"She doesn't have a stylist, but she dresses like the most glamorous rock star's wife," Macdonald continued. "If I was a woman, I wouldn't mind being Elle."

Later in the night, though, Macpherson had a not-so-enviable moment.

As she climbed into her car to leave the party, the model's top slipped off her shoulder, giving photographers a quick glimpse of her nipple.
