It's Cindy Crawford, still a super model at 40

At a photo-shoot on a Malibu beach, the 40-year-old mother-of-two, oozes sex appeal as she displays her enviable figure in a one-piece swimming costume.

Clearly still focused on her glamorous job, the catwalk beauty has kept her model-ready figure by sticking to a high-protein diet and a rigorous exercise regime of Pilates, cardio work and yoga.

Cindy admits her slender size 8 figure came naturally to her when she was younger, but has said she appreciates it much more now because of the effort she has to put in to maintain it.

After she reaching her milestone 40th birthday, Cindy said in an interview: "When I was 23, other women could look at me and say 'Well, she's never had kids'. But now I have and I know what it's like to have to lose baby weight.

"I'm actually happier with my body now than I was back then, because the body I have now is the body I've worked for."

In another shot, Crawford wears a sailor hat at a jaunty angle, and looks alluringly at the camera. Crawford was one of a group of models who earned the super tag in the early 90s. They were: Naomi Campbell, Linda Evangelista, Christy Turlington, Helen Christensen and Claudia Schiffer.

Crawford who has two children, Kaya and Presley, with husband Rande Gerber admitted her stunning good looks are not purely a result of daily two-hour workouts.
