Cindy Crawford, at 58, showcased a timeless piece from her wardrobe on Instagram—a black leather motorcycle jacket she first wore at 20. This nostalgic gesture marked the 20th anniversary of her successful skincare company, Meaningful Beauty.
The legendary supermodel shared two photos on social media: one from the 80s, and a recent one, both featuring her in the same jacket. ‘@meaningfulbeauty turns 20! ✨ To help us celebrate, share a photo of yourself at 20 years old vs. you today,’ Cindy captioned the post. ‘Grateful to have spent the last two decades working with an amazing team, learning so much about beauty and business—and helping women feel their best at every age. Happy birthday to MB! Thank you all for keeping us going! #MB20.’
Cindy co-founded Meaningful Beauty with Dr. Jean-Louis Sebagh, a cosmetic specialist based in Paris who introduced her to super antioxidants from a rare melon in the South of France. ‘After my first treatment with these super antioxidants, I saw instant, glowing results,’ Cindy shared. This breakthrough led to the creation of Meaningful Beauty, a skincare line that promises younger-looking skin by combining science, technology, and nature.
Reflecting on the brand’s philosophy, Cindy emphasized the importance of self-care and acceptance. ‘Feeling beautiful can give women self-confidence at every age. The foundation of Meaningful Beauty is achieving healthy, glowing skin by taking good care of yourself and accepting who you are. After that, you can go enjoy your life.’
Cindy’s achievements extend beyond her skincare line. She revealed on the Kelly Corrigan Wonders podcast how her modeling career took off in Chicago, quickly making her a ‘big fish in a small pond.’ By 18, she was out-earning her parents, a situation that brought mixed feelings. ‘I was the son in a weird way,’ she said, recalling how her father appreciated that she kept the Crawford name after marriage. Despite her financial success, Cindy avoids giving overly lavish gifts to her family, fearing it might ’emasculate their husbands.’
Her daughter Kaia Gerber, also a successful model, admired her mother’s instinct and ambition. ‘I was star-struck in front of her after watching the doc. I thought it was so cool that she always had that ambition, and she did things where people told her, ”This will ruin your career. Don’t do this,”’ said Kaia. Cindy shares Kaia, 22, and son Presley, 24, with her husband Rande Gerber.
Cindy Crawford’s tribute to her iconic leather jacket and the 20-year journey of Meaningful Beauty highlights not only her lasting influence in the fashion industry but also her drive to empower women through beauty. Her story is a testament to enduring success and timeless style.
