There’s something undeniably inspiring about Cindy Crawford. At 53 years old, she’s not only still looking and feeling beautiful, but she’s also encouraging women everywhere to embrace their bodies and their aging process. In a recent Q&A session with WWD, Cindy opened up about her decision to continue modeling nude and why it’s so important for women her age to do the same.
Why Cindy Crawford Believes in Nude Photoshoots
On June 12, Cindy Crawford, alongside fellow supermodel Christy Turlington, shared her thoughts on the importance of showcasing beauty at any age. The iconic model revealed that both she and Christy, who recently turned 50, feel it’s crucial to represent women in their 50s through their work. “We want to show women who are 53, and I think Christy just turned 50, that there’s still beauty in that,” Cindy explained passionately. It’s a message of empowerment, reminding women that beauty doesn’t fade with age—it simply evolves.
Responding to Critics with Confidence
Cindy recently posed nude for photographer Russell James’ book, and she shared how she handled the critics. After posting the photos on social media, she encountered some unkind comments. “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?’” Cindy recounted, laughing it off. She responded with wisdom and grace, stating, “Is there an age where being nude isn’t beautiful? It’s just a different kind of beauty.”

Cindy admitted that it’s “a little harder” to get camera-ready these days, but she’s not letting that stop her. In fact, she joked about needing a little help to feel her best for shoots. “I hope this is politically correct, but sometimes I say I need Viagra for shoots. It’s harder to get it up,” she quipped, drawing laughter from the audience.

A Natural Beauty Who Inspires
Cindy’s confidence isn’t just limited to photoshoots. In May, she shared a makeup-free selfie on Instagram, showcasing her natural beauty, and her fans couldn’t get enough of it. “Extremely beautifully blessed,” one fan commented, expressing admiration for Cindy’s authenticity. Clearly, Cindy is comfortable in her skin, and she’s not afraid to show it.
She’s not alone in this journey. Jennifer Aniston, another powerhouse in her 50s, also embraced nudity for a recent Harper’s Bazaar shoot. “I’m not ashamed of that, no — no one should be!” Jennifer confidently declared on The Ellen DeGeneres Show. She also shared her love for being naked, proving that age is just a number when it comes to self-confidence.
