An unretouched image of Crawford in lingerie went viral. News anchor Charlene White first tweeted the Photoshop-free image of Crawford, who was 47 at the time the photo was taken.
“Cindy Crawford’s April spread in Marie Claire features 100% non-retouched photos,” White wrote, although she was mistaken in saying it was from an upcoming issue. “Take a bow Ms. C.”

— Charlene White (@CharleneWhite) February 13, 2015 The unretouched photo of the mother of two — son Presley, 15, and 13-year-old daughter Kaia — let people see what she really looks like and it offered inspiration to women everywhere in countless ways. According to the Hollywood Reporter, the photo—which in reality highlights a 48-year-old body that’s far more slender and taut than most—underscores how profoundly unrealistic celebrity imagery in the media can be.
