Iconic supermodel Cindy Crawford is helping us look forward to our fifties with her incredible attitude to aging.
Speaking at an event with WWD and Greg Renker, with whom she built the brand
Meaningful Beauty, Crawford discussed modeling in her fifties.
She revealed why, alongside her supermodel friend, Christy Turlington, she feels it’s important to still do photo shoots. She explained, “We want to show women who are 53, and I think Christy just turned 50, that there’s still beauty in that.” And this includes taking “tasteful nudes,” which Crawford recently did for famed photographer Russell James’s book.

She explained, "I remember some snarky person on Instagram-there seem to be a lot of those-posted something like, ‘Ah, why are you still doing those at your age?’ And I was like, is there an age where being nude isn’t beautiful? It’s just a different kind of beauty."
According to WWD, Crawford noted the importance of women treating themselves as kindly as they would their friends. “That is part of the reason I still do shoots,” she added. The legendary supermodel does admit that it’s now “a little harder" though, as she joked, “I hope this is politically correct, but sometimes I say I need Viagra for shoots. It’s harder to get it up.”

On her own skincare secrets, Crawford said of Meaningful Beauty, "Using it daily, along with avoiding the sun, not smoking, drinking a lot of water, and getting enough sleep is key to looking and feeling good at any age." And clearly, confidence–as much as genetics–goes a long way.
