Christy Turlington's Most Fashionable Throwback Photos

Now 54, the '90s favorite has modeled for designers all over the world

Christy Turlington has had one of the most illustrious careers in the fashion industry. Part of the original supermodel crew, she was discovered at age 14 and rose to prominence in the '90s along with Naomi Campbell, Linda Evangelista, Cindy Crawford and Claudia Schiffer.

Come Sept. 20, Turlington, along with Crawford, Evangelista and Campbell, will be talking about her iconic career in Apple TV+'s docuseries aptly titled The Super Models.

In the teaser, the fashion icons sat in front of a gray backdrop as they prepared to share an unprecedented look into the world of elite modeling — and life beyond the catwalk. The series was co-directed by Roger Ross Wiliams and Larissa Bills.

While we wait on Turlington's take on her career when the series debuts, here are some of her most fashionable throwback photos.

Christy Turlington's Early Years

With a smile that can light up a room and unparalleled cheekbones, it's no wonder Turlington was the face of dozens of campaigns and a runway mainstay in the '90s.

Born on Jan. 2, 1969, the young beauty was discovered by a local photographer while horseback riding in Florida at the age of 14.

“He was kind of creepy, to tell the truth. I didn’t really want to do it – I didn’t even really know what it was all about. But my mom agreed," the model told The Gentlewoman in a 2012 interview. "The pictures are hilarious to look at now. When he was taking them, he said, ‘Look bitchy.’ I was 14 – I didn’t know what he was even talking about!”

Christy Turlington Meets Edward Burns

Turlington met the love of her life sometime in the late '90s and because the couple are so private, they've never really divulged many details.

However, in a rare moment of openness with HuffPost Live, Burns gave a bit of information about the first time he met his wife.

"I was a production assistant on [Entertainment Tonight], and we interviewed Christy back when I was just a lowly PA," the actor revealed. "I had to get her a cup of coffee and fortunately, she was very nice."

He joked, "She has no memory of it, but of course, [as] the PA who gets to meet Christy Turlington, I remember it very well."
