How Elon Musk’s mother Maye, now 74, rose to fame as a fashion icon

Maye Musk, mother of Tesla CEO Elon Musk, rose to fame as a fashion week style icon when she was 74 years old thanks to her front-row outfits from Prabal Gurung and Badgley Mischka.

In her electric blue and silver jumpsuit at The Blonds’ show, Maye Musk stole the show at New York Fashion Week. She also wore a Prabal Gurung garment while sitting in the front row alongside Kimora Lee Simmons.

She has a million Instagram followers, is marketing her book A Woman Makes a Plan, and hangs around with celebrities like Nicky Hilton and Meredith Marks.

This season, there was no shortage of A-list celebrities in the front rows of New York Fashion Week, but Elon Musk’s mother Maye absolutely stole the show.

Maye, who is 74 years old, has a million followers on Instagram alone in addition to being the mother of one of the richest men in the world. It’s understandable why Maye, who has established herself as a fixture on the fashion week circuit, has captured the hearts of the global fashion elite.
