CIndy Crawford's complete style transformation: From form-fitting cocktail dresses to sophisticated gowns

Updated

Cindy Crawford is the definition of legendary!

The 51-year-old supermodel skyrocketed to fame as she walked the runway for some of the biggest fashion designers in the world in the '80s and '90s. Unknown to most, Crawford earned a scholarship to study chemical engineering at Northwestern University after graduating high school. She dropped out after one semester to pursue modeling full time.

The brunette beauty's million-dollar smile and gorgeous features (like those eyes!) solidified her reputation as America's sweetheart. She walked the catwalk for designers like Dolce and Gabbana and Christian Dior throughout her successful career, while gracing the covers of iconic magazines like Vogue and Cosmopolitan.

Though there's no denying Crawford's beauty captured everyone's attention -- and still does to this day -- her impeccable sense of style also made quite a few heads turn. Crawford wasn't afraid to rock a form-fitting cocktail dress or a dramatic gown with a thigh-high slit. And though her go-to look was usually a flattering LBD, she wasn't afraid to experiment with bright colors in hues of pink and greens.

As Crawford progressed in her career, so did her style. In recent years, she's stepped out in gorgeous gowns in flattering styles. Her strapless white gown at the 2013 Cannes Film Festival remains one of the most iconic looks of this decade.

Two years later, at the 2015 Golden Globes, the mother of two proved she still had it in a bright blue gown with a seriously sexy thigh-high slit. Crawford was one of the best dressed stars of the night, stealing the spotlight from the actresses nominated for awards.

Crawford quit full-time modeling in 2000, but it looks like there's someone else ready to take her place -- her daughter Kaia. The 15-year-old, who Cindy shares with husband Rande Gerber, has already appeared on the cover of Vogue with her mother. Not bad for someone who doesn't even have her license yet!
