Cindy Crawford Says She Doesn't Want To Compete With Her 14-Year-Old Daughter

With other models like Christie Brinkley still posing in bikinis at age 61, the bar for women in the spotlight seems to be set almost impossibly high.

However, 50-year-old Cindy Crawford promises she’s focused on looking amazing for her age, and not trying to be a teenager.

“I don’t want to be trying to compete with my 14-year-old daughter [Kaia Gerber] – because I would lose!” she joked to People magazine.

As inspiration for aging beautifully, Crawford has her eyes on stars like Helen Mirren and Jane Fonda: “They look amazing but they’re not trying to look 30.”

For Cindy Crawford, the pressure to look supermodel-ready never ends, not even as she approaches 50.

At a launch event for her new book Becoming, the model admitted to People magazine she used to think there would come a time when she could relax in the beauty department.



However, thanks to a career that has stayed in the spotlight that day hasn’t arrived. “I always thought, ‘When can I just let it all go?’” Crawford told the magazine.

“It’s just never. There is no age now!”

Crawford had used her upcoming milestone birthday as reason to celebrate.

Her new book looks back at her legendary career with photographs of the supermodel taken by celebrated photographers such as Herb Ritts, Richard Avedon, and Arthur Elgort.

It’s a beautiful way to look back, and move into her next decade with style.
