Cindy Crawford Is The Savage X Fenty Woman We All Want To Be

Cindy Crawford’s Instagram page is all gratitude posts, family snapshots and throwbacks to her ’90s heyday as a supermodel climbing up the ranks and making her forever mark on the industry. Now, her wholesome #selfcaresunday moments have been interrupted by a high-octane, full-glam shoot for Savage X Fenty.

Drumming up the hype for Volume 3 of Rihanna’s lingerie runway extravaganza, Cindy posed in a shimmering blue, halter-neck Fenty dress with a thigh split to rival anything we saw at the VMAs. Basking in the sunlight beaming through her brutalist surroundings (think Barbican, but model-worthy), Crawford accentuated the colour of her silky slip with electric-blue eyeshadow.

But really, it was all about Cindy’s skin. With a glow that would make J Lo proud, Crawford defied her 55 years and proved that all the Four Sigmatic supplements she posts about are paying dividends.

While the radiant portrait could have been an advert for Fenty Skin – Rihanna swears by the Eaze Drop Blurring Skin Tint – Crawford showed that Rih’s promise to make underwear for all ages is not just a marketing strategy. She might not currently be listed on the model line-up for the show (Gigi Hadid, Irina Shayk and Joan Smalls are flying the flag for the supers), but Cindy is a stellar brand ambassador for Rihanna’s Fenty empire. And at this stage in her career, she doesn’t say yes to everything. 

Rihanna’s two cents on enlisting the woman who helped pave the way for future models to become celebrities in their own right? (Including her own daughter, Kaia Gerber). “Queens recognise queens,” asserted the Fenty mogul. “Show ’em how it’s done.” It takes one to know one.
