Meet Cy Busson, heartthrob son of supermodel Elle Macpherson and billionaire Arpad Busson: he’s already appeared on Vogue’s cover, has PDA snaps on Instagram and loves travelling
- Although still attending Babson College in Massachusetts, a private business school, Busson has already modelled in Elle France and Vogue Australia – posing with mum and brother Flynn
- Dubbed ‘The Body’ by Time, his mum was a five-time Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue cover girl and an 80s fashion darling – will her 19-year-old son follow in her footsteps?
Everyone knows Elle Macpherson, aka “The Body”. Forever followed by that fitting nickname coined by Time back in 1989, she was one of the biggest supermodels of the 80s, a five-time Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue cover girl – and still in great shape to this day.
The Australian model and TV host dated French billionaire and financier Arpad Busson in the mid-90s, and the relationship bore them two beautiful sons – Flynn and Cy Busson. The couple lived together in London before separating in 2005, but continue to co-parent the two boys.
Born Aurelius Cy Andrea Busson in 2003, younger brother Cy was only two years old when his parents split up. Macpherson told British media in 2019 that when she became a mother, she decided that her children would always come first. “I was 35 when I had my first [Flynn] and 41 when I had Cy and so I came to [have] children a little later in life, but I made sure they were going to be the priority,” she said.
Now 19, Busson was recently seen with his mother at a Dior party in Seville, Spain. The mother and son’s stunning looks and chic outfits made headlines, fuelling public curiosity about the young model and what he’s been up to. Here’s what we know …
Cy Busson is well on his way as a model
Inheriting his supermodel mother’s looks, Busson naturally pursued a modelling career, too. In 2019, he featured on the cover of Vogue Australia together with his brother Flynn and their mother. He also appeared in Architectural Digest in the same year. Then, in 2020, Busson and his mother graced the cover of Elle France, photographed by Gilles Bensimon, whom Macpherson had dated in the past.
Busson then signed with Next Model Management, appearing in an InStyle Hungarian edition editorial, in Glamour Man’s Russian edition, and in online magazine Vanity Teen, in a shoot inspired by Hollywood classic films such as Bonnie and Clyde, Dirty Dancing and Romeo and Juliet.
He’s currently in university
