Cindy Crawford on Being Pregnant and Nude on the Cover of W [Video]

Supermodel and beauty icon Cindy Crawford shares her top secrets to aging gracefully and opens up about her new book, Becoming during FABLife’s “Beauty Spectacular.” Crawford and Joe Zee worked together on the iconic W cover from 1999, featuring a pregnant (with son Preston) — and totally nude — Cindy. The buddies revealed that they never intended for her to be in the all together but all the outfits she tried on looked awkward as she was only a few months along. Crawford, who was originally adamant she would be clothed, says she came around in part because she trusted Joe so much as a stylist. Another BTS tidbit: She was encouraged to make her bump look bigger in the poses as she was just barely showing. A day after the shoot, “she popped” with a big bump. The famous cover sold out on newsstands.
