Stephanie Seymour appears for a hearing at the Stamford Conn. Superior Court, Monday in her DUI case.

On Monday, the 47-year-old former Sports Illustrated cover girl agreed to enter a voluntary alcohol education and rehabilitation program to wipe away her Jan. 15 arrest in Greenwich, Conn.

"She addressed the court directly, and apologized to the court, the people involved in the minor accident, the prosecution and the police," her lawyer Phillip Russell told reporters outside Stamford Conn. Superior Court, according to CNN.

The 5-foot-10 stunner, who's married to billionaire real estate developer Peter Brant, was busted for DUI after allegedly reversing her SUV into another car at a stop sign. Cops said she refused to take a sobriety test at the scene and her breath smelled like alcohol.

The arresting officer wrote in his police report that Seymour "tried to answer my questions" but had "a strong odor of an alcoholic beverage omitting from her mouth."

As part of the plea, she will enter the Connecticut Alcohol Education Program and follow up with a state-sponsored rehabilitation program.

Seymour heard the judge's approval of the deal, Seymour flashed the stunning smile that made her one of the world's most famous supermodels of the late 80s and early 90s.

During her heyday, she dated Guns N' Roses singer Axl Rose, and starred in the band's video for the iconic power ballad, "November Rain."

It's been a rough start to the year for Seymour and Brant as their oldest son, Peter Brant Jr., was arrested last week at Kennedy Airport for allegedly brawling with a Port Authority cop while drunk.
