Cindy Crawford is famous for being “a 30-plus-year modeling vet, one of the OG supermodels” and “a trailblazer who defined a pivotal moment in time when fashion models became stars in their own right,” according to Haute Living. During that span, “she’s basically seen it all, done it all, and done it all again.” Now, the icon is celebrating another major event. It’s her 60th birthday!

Cindy Crawford Says ‘Aging is What Happens if We’re Lucky’
Getty“It’s funny. Even in my [skincare line] Meaningful Beauty infomercial, they used to say, ‘She hasn’t aged,’ and they would show side-by-sides. And I’d tell them to stop, because it puts too much pressure on me,” Crawford told Haute Living in November 2022.
“I know all the ways that I’ve aged. My face has gotten much thinner; my mouth isn’t as full. Being told I’m ageless isn’t right, especially because getting older is hard enough, never mind that we live in a youth-obsessed culture,” she continued. “So in that sense, the things I’m trying to make Meaningful Beauty about for other women are the things that I have to remind myself about, too. I’m not 25, so why should I be trying to look 25? Why do I want someone to mistake me for a 25-year-old? I’ve had children. I have all this life experience.”
Getty“There’s one comparison I use a lot, and it’s this: I’m like an aging athlete,” she went on to say. “I know the game so much better, but I don’t have a 20-year-old neck or whatever. Sometimes I think, screw it. Maybe I don’t want to model anymore.”
“But then I think, gosh, then I’m just further telling women that at a certain age, we’re just expired, and we should go on the shelf,” she added. “Do I want to play into that for women? And so I don’t. Even though sometimes I don’t necessarily feel as confident, or if I see a picture of me and there are things I don’t like, I still think yeah, but that’s real. Aging is what happens if we’re lucky; it means that I’m alive.”
