Friday, February 20, marks a major milestone for Cindy Crawford as she celebrates her 60th birthday. The supermodel began her career in the early 1980s after being discovered at 16 in her hometown of DeKalb, Illinois, just outside of Chicago. Leaving school behind for a taste of the fashion world—though she initially pursued a degree in chemical engineering at Northwestern University—Crawford took a leap of faith that would change her life forever.

In 1986, Crawford signed with Elite Model Management in New York City, committing fully to modeling. She quickly became a fixture on major magazine covers around the world. Among her most iconic moments was the January 1990 cover of British Vogue, shot by Peter Lindbergh, which featured Crawford alongside fellow supermodels Naomi Campbell, Linda Evangelista, Christy Turlington, and Tatjana Patitz.

Crawford went on to grace countless fashion runways for some of the world's most iconic fashion houses, including Versace, Ralph Lauren, Calvin Klein, Valentino, Dolce & Gabbana, Christian Dior, and Chanel—while also fronting major campaigns for many of the same brands.

Beyond the runway, she further cemented her pop-culture status by starring in one of the most memorable Pepsi commercials of all time, airing during the 1992 Super Bowl. From 1989 to 1995, she hosted MTV's House of Style, which took people behind the scenes of the lucrative fashion world.

The supermodel's love life also made headlines. At 22, she married 40-year-old Richard Gere, with the pair eloping in Las Vegas in 1991 at the height of their fame. Their whirlwind romance quickly became one of Hollywood's most talked-about relationships. However, after four years of marriage, the couple ultimately went their separate ways.
Crawford does not typically speak publicly about her marriage to Gere. However, in the AppleTV+ docuseries The Super Models (via Today), she shared why their marriage didn't work.
“I think I was 22 when we met. In the beginning of a relationship, when you’re a young woman, you’re like, ‘You like baseball? I like baseball. Oh, you’re really into Tibetan Buddhism? I might be into that. I’ll try that ... You’re willing to kind of mold yourself around whoever you are in love with," she shared.

In 1998, she married businessman Rande Gerber, and the couple welcomed two children: Presley Gerber and Kaia Gerber. Kaia is the spitting image of her mother. The mother-daughter duo later posed together for the April 2016 cover of Vogue Paris.

In 2000, Crawford stepped back from full-time modeling and focused on her skincare brand Meaningful Beauty. She made notable exceptions, including a memorable reunion with fellow supermodels Carla Bruni, Campbell, Helena Christensen, and Claudia Schiffer for the 2017 Versace runway show, a tribute marking 20 years since the death of Gianni Versace.

Speaking to the Mirror as she celebrates her 60th birthday, Crawford opened up about life today. "Quiet. We live in the desert (Coachella Valley in Southern California) so it’s very different. It’s serene. It’s zen. I love it," she said.
