A 73-year-old model and actress has starred in fashion giant Calvin Klein’s latest underwear campaign.

Lauren Hutton, best known for her role in romantic drama American Gigolo, appears alongside Kirsten Dunst in the company’s latest advert, during which different women lounge about in Calvin Klein underwear.

The advert, shot in black and white, has drawn praise for breaking down barriers of age in the cutthroat industry, with Vogue magazine saying the ad proves “there’s no age limit to being an underwear model”.
