Linda Evangelistashared a rare photo of herself while growing up in Canada.

The 58-year-old Vogue supermodel had on no makeup as she was dressed casually in a T-shirt and shorts that highlighted her long legs.

The 5ft10in star was in her father's garden in her native Canada.

It was a Father's Day post as she talked about her dad's love for gardening.

'My father’s pride and joy was his garden. I’m pretty sure he was proud of my “tomato stick” legs as he called them and for sure my nose which I inherited from him,' her caption began.

'He had the most insane green thumb. Here examples of his basil and figs he managed to grow in Canada... All these memories will forever bring me joy. Happy Father’s Day to all those celebrating. ♥️ '

This comes after Evangelista sensationally revealed in 2021 that she had been left 'permanently deformed'following rare side effect to cosmetic procedure.

Linda has resurfaced recently after only being seen a few times since undergoing a fat-freezing procedure back in 2016.

She accentuated her natural beauty with just a hint of makeup including pink lipstick.

'It's so dreamy and light - it's light like a cloud,' Linda told Vogue about her outfit. 'I feel so comfortable in it, and I'm really, really, really happy.'

Linda's appearance at fashion's biggest night was her first in nearly a decade. She last attended the Met Gala in 2015, which had a theme of China: Through the Looking Glass.
