Happy birthday Cindy Crawford.
The supermodel, whose career has spanned more than three decades, celebrates her 50th birthday Saturday.
Still active in the industry despite recent rumors she was retiring, Crawford is an icon who's already had a lasting impact on the fashion world. Her All-American look highlighted by a beauty mark on her upper lip became an instant sensation when she hit the scene in 1986. The mother of two has since graced countless magazine covers for Vogue, Harper's Bazaar Elle and stared in major designer campaigns for brands like Chanel, Versace and Calvin Klein.

Crawford helped pioneer '90s All-American style with simple silhouettes, neutral palettes and comfortable, easy fabrics. Her inimitable and innate sense of style has had a lasting impact on both street style and high fashion. In honor of her milestone birthday, below are 50 of Crawford's most iconic style moments.
1. Beach babe
Crawford has done many a photo shoot on the beach — each time capturing the effortless energy of the sea. The model brought her Americana style and playful sex appeal to every shoot she did.
2. Back to basics
Crawford mastered minimalism. Her outfits focused on pairing basics in neutral tones to create an effortless sophistication.
3. Glamour and elegance
Like any model, Crawford had some serious high fashion moments. She got to wear intricately designed evening gowns and sport a full face of '30s-inspired makeup — what more could a girl ask for?
4. Playful fun
Intrinsic to her All-American style was a sense of fun. Crawford's playful demeanor added new levels to her shoots and captured the energy of fashion at that time.
5. Vagabond style
Crawford was often on-the-go. Whether she was traveling to a new cultural destination or walking the streets of her city, she was constantly moving. And, needless to say, she looked damn good doing it.
6. HBIC
Cindy Crawford is a boss. There's no disputing that statement. From boldly releasing unretouched photos to participating in shoots with major messages, Crawford reminded fans of her girlboss status over and over again.
7. On the runway
What would a Cindy Crawford style round-up be without a catwalk series? Crawford dominated innumerable runway shows, sporting looks that were crazy, colorful and chic. Our favorite? A classic tone-on-tone ensemble she wore in a '90s Ralph Lauren show.
8. Au naturel
Crawford's natural beauty is one of her most-admired attributes. She posed for beauty shoots with barely-there makeup and fashion shoots with barely-there clothing — every time allowing her unedited self to shine through.
9. Hard at work
You don't get a body like Crawford's without putting in a little (or a lot of) effort. The model showed off her toned physique in several campaigns.
10. Sheer sensuality
Even after 50 years the name Cindy Crawford is synonymous with "sexy." We'll let the photos below speak for themselves.
