Cindy Crawford ruled the catwalk in the 1990s – but it sounds like she has announced she is putting her modelling days behind her.
The supermodel will turn 50 on February 20 and it seems like she will use the landmark birthday to retire.

She told United Airlines’ Rhapsody magazine: “I’m sure I’ll have my picture taken for 10 more years, but not as a model any more. And that’s okay. I’ve done it. I’ve worked with all these incredible photographers.
“What else do I need to do? I can’t keep reinventing myself. I shouldn’t have to keep proving myself. I don’t want to.”
Cindy is marking her 50th birthday with Becoming Cindy Crawford, a book of photographs documenting her life and long career, starting in De Kalb, Illinois, as a schoolgirl who never thought about modelling until she was spotted by a local photographer.
Cindy is now a mother to two children with her husband Rande Gerber – Kaia Jordan Gerber and Presley Walker Gerber – who have definitely inherited their mother’s looks and are already models on the rise.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
