An unretouched Cindy Crawford is all the confidence you need today

A leaked photo of Cindy Crawford’s unretouched body has gone viral over the weekend. The snap reveals a body that is no longer perfect, smooth and cellulite free. The image is authentic, and just gorgeous.

I must say that it’s refreshing to see this side of an iconic supermodel (even though she still looks way better than most of us!). The picture of the 49-year-old ‘90s supermodel hasn't been photoshopped and was actually part of a Marie Claire Mexico issue shot back in 2013. Marie Claire validated that the snap is real.Her unretouched body shows her imperfections on her stomach and legs - the natural signs of aging that is.

In an unrelated interview after her premier documentary, Hospital in the Sky, Cindy said the below (and we all just muttered "she’s just like us"):

"I really think—at any age—it's learning to be comfortable in your own skin. ...If women would treat themselves with the same kind of love they give to their friends, that would be such a great gift we could give ourselves...What makes you the most attractive is self-confidence. That's what people see."

We've always loved Cindy Crawford, but this picture makes us love her even more. Apparently, a lot of people share our sentiment, as many have acknowledged that the picture makes them feel more comfortable with their own aging bodies. Photoshop is a huge reality and most of us have somewhat forgotten what "real bodies" look like.
