Nicola Griffin is a mother of twin grown-up daughters who holds the record of the oldest person to ever appear on the Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue. She defied the odds and made the modeling world know that it is not all about being young, having an hourglass shape, and standing at 5 feet 10 inches.
The middle-aged mother continues to break boundaries and has featured in a lingerie shoot even as she is the star of a recent SLiNK magazine shoot. She admitted that her first modeling shoot was the greatest thing she has ever done and she would be glad to see more women with unique body variations in the media.
Nicola Griffin’s Biography, Family
Nicola was born in Nottingham in 1956. The exact day and month of her birth have not been made public as she is somewhat a new modeling celebrity. She redefined the contemporary view of modeling with her perfect blend of uniqueness and ever since her first shoot, has become a familiar face in the who is who of the modeling world. For one thing, she is more than double the age of most celebrity models.
She has twin daughters Tabitha and Elly who are grown-ups and in fact, were the ones who motivated her to take up an advertising role for a white hair shampoo manufacturing company. She and her husband had split more than 10 years ago and her world revolved much around her twin daughters who at that time we’re leaving for the University. One for Manchester, the other for Newcastle.
Before her sojourn into the modeling world, she worked for a French-language school where she arranged exchange programs for French students to come over to the UK and learn English

Nicola is a middle-aged supermodel who despite not being so young, makes heads turn wherever she goes. She has been able to maintain an attractive body shape with remarkable curves and well-toned and firm skin to dazzle the eyes of anyone who looks at her pictures.

Modeling Career
Nicola started her modeling career a few years ago when she least expected it. The life she lived before now was very different from what we know her for today. Her’s is a case of a middle-aged single mum being at the right place at the right time where luck met her. The rest today is the jaw-dropping story of a supermodel who has aged past her youth. Well perhaps, this was her calling and she couldn’t have missed it.
Nicola was queuing with her twin daughters in a bank when a woman tapped her from behind and asked a rather strange question. The woman was from a hair product company called White Hot Hair which at that time was desirous of getting suitable models for their latest campaign.
Tabitha and Elly encouraged their mum to take up the offer and little did they know that it was not a one-time activity. The success of the shoot with White Hot Hair, it got her more modeling jobs from local agencies to London-based Milk Model Management. Some of the prominent shoots she has done include a skin campaign shoot, lingerie shoot and retirement home brochure. Nicola became the oldest person to have ever appeared on Sports Illustrated’s Swimwear issue and still holds that record today.
While most women will choose to dye back their hair to a youthful look, Nicola chose to leave hers and in fact struggled with keeping it attractive for about two years before it went completely grey. Today that choice has paid off.
