Which supermodel is nicknamed 'The Body'?

Elle Macpherson is the supermodel nicknamed “The Body.”

Time magazine helped establish the nickname in 1989 after Macpherson appeared on its cover. The name reflected her exceptional stature and athletic, curvaceous image, but it also became a lasting part of her professional brand. She later used “The Body” in beauty and fitness-related ventures.

The Australian model became prominent in the 1980s through magazine work, advertising, runway appearances, and repeated appearances in the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue. She appeared on that issue’s cover five times: in 1986, 1987, 1988, 1994, and 2006. That record helped reinforce her status as one of the era’s defining supermodels.

The nickname is sometimes confused with a product name or an official title, but it began as a media label for Macpherson herself. Cindy Crawford, Naomi Campbell, and Claudia Schiffer were also famous supermodels, yet none is the canonical answer to this clue.
