Jean Shrimpton is often credited as the world’s first supermodel, even if she herself is rather unconcerned with the title. “I never liked being photographed. I just happened to be good at it,” she told The Guardian, in an interview last year at her current secluded home operating a hotel in Cornwall, England. But while the The Shrimp may be a reluctant legend, she is a legend nonetheless. So to celebrate her 70th birthday today, we’ve compiled 25 of her best shots throughout the years. Enjoy!
