Cindy Crawford says Kaia Gerber was ‘traumatised' by her racy photos which were hanging in the house
'There were pictures of me in the house that I never explained to my kids,' Crawford shared. 'Once in a while, one of them would say, 'We just thought it was normal that your mum was photographed like that.'' She laughed, adding, 'I'm sure my kids are traumatised, like every kid is.'
Crawford, whose decades-spanning career included countless risqué shoots in the '80s and '90s, said her perspective shifted after starting a family. 'I did stop doing those kinds of photos before we got married,' she said of her 1998 wedding to businessman Rande Gerber. 'I've turned down shoots since, I just didn't want my nine-year-old getting teased at school.'
While she's proud of most of her work, Crawford admitted there is one shoot she regrets. 'It's not even the most revealing, but I felt manipulated,' she recalled. 'That's the only one I look back on and feel hurt.'
She contrasted that experience with working with famed photographer Herb Ritts, saying she felt '100% safe' and 'not sexualised' during their collaborations.
As she approaches 60, Crawford is focused on self-care, promoting her long-running skincare brand Meaningful Beauty. She credits its signature sun-protectant moisturizer for her radiant look, adding, 'Confidence is what people really notice.'
Despite the shock factor at home, Kaia Gerber, now 23, has carved out her own path in fashion—though likely with fewer awkward family portraits on display.

Cindy Crawford says Kaia Gerber was ‘traumatised' by her racy photos which were hanging in the house
Cindy Crawford is getting candid about the side effects of her supermodel past, particularly how it impacted her daughter, Kaia Gerber. On a recent episode of Monica Lewinsky's Reclaiming podcast, the 59-year-old icon revealed that some of her most provocative photos were on full display in her home for years. 'There were pictures of me in the house that I never explained to my kids,' Crawford shared. 'Once in a while, one of them would say, 'We just thought it was normal that your mum was photographed like that.'' She laughed, adding, 'I'm sure my kids are traumatised, like every kid is.'

'Elsbeth' kills off major character in deadly courthouse shooting ahead of season 2 finale
The CBS legal drama Elsbeth delivered a pivotal twist in its latest episode, as the storyline escalated with a deadly courthouse shooting just before the Season 2 finale. The episode, aired on 24 April, followed Elsbeth Tascioni (Carrie Preston) and Captain C.W. Wagner (Wendell Pierce) as they uncovered evidence linking Judge Milton Crawford (Michael Emerson) to a long-buried crime. After confessing to Elsbeth, Crawford was shot outside the courthouse by someone seeking justice. The shooting stirred debate among the characters over the legitimacy of Crawford's death. While some argued he should have faced the legal system, others viewed the act as overdue retribution. The dramatic incident marks a significant shift in the series as it heads toward its final episode. Crawford was introduced earlier this season when Elsbeth was selected for jury duty in a trial he presided over. The upcoming finale will follow Elsbeth as she investigates a new shooting incident involving Rod (Billy Magnussen), a thrill-seeking suspect. The episode is set to feature guest stars including Stephen Moyer, Alyssa Milano, and Mary-Louise Parker. Elsbeth airs Thursdays at 9 p.m. ET on CBS, with episodes available for streaming the next day on Paramount+.

The off-duty model playbook
There's a reason the off-duty model look continues to populate mood boards, Pinterest saves, and "get the look" breakdowns. It's studied, but not too studied. Relaxed, but with just the right amount of tension. The trick, of course, is that it never appears to be trying too hard. The uniform? A greatest-hits playlist of wardrobe staples that make themselves known. The perfect white tank. A pair of jeans that didn't come distressed but now, years later, just are. A blazer with slightly padded shoulders, cut to make you feel important but not self-conscious. If the models themselves are a walking embodiment of the industry's projections, then the off-duty look is its exhale - the moment the clothes get to just exist. The foundations No bells. No whistles. Just a classic white tank, ribbed, fitted, tucked into whatever sits closest at hand. It's the ultimate "I woke up like this" piece, but let's not pretend there's no effort involved. The best ones fit like they were cut for the wearer alone. Hailey Bieber swears by them. Kaia Gerber collects them. They are the bedrock of this aesthetic. Then there are the bottoms. Super-tight skinnies? Banished. Instead, the cut skews straight, slightly baggy, with a nod to the '90s. Levi's 501s, or something that looks like them, worn with a plain belt and an air of indifference. The wash is light or vintage. Anything too pristine risks looking try-hard. They should appear as though they've lived a life, even if that life started at a secondhand store last Thursday. When denim feels predictable, there's always the wide-leg trouser. Models love a pair with pleats, cut long enough to graze the tops of their sneakers or Chelsea boots. The effect? Polished but never precious. It's the easiest way to look put-together without veering into "workwear" territory. The art of layering Ah, the oversized blazer. It's been making the rounds for years now, but in the off-duty model repertoire, it's as essential as a passport. The best ones are structured but not stiff, skimming past the hips with an authoritative drape. Black, gray, camel - nothing too loud. It's what takes a hoodie from "grabbing coffee" to "spotted at fashion week." A black leather jacket, preferably vintage or at least pretending to be, is the off-duty model's security blanket. Sometimes it's a biker. Sometimes a bomber. Sometimes so oversized that it looks borrowed (or stolen). Worn over a slip dress, it turns romantic into rebellious. Paired with sweats, it signals intentional chaos. Alternatively, opt for a sweater, but oversized. A hoodie, but perfectly slouchy. The off-duty model knows that contrast is keysomething sharp on the bottom, something soft on top. The color wheel stays neutral: grays, beiges, inky blues. The materials? Cashmere if possible, heavyweight cotton if not. Finishing touches Nothing ties the look together like a pair of sneakers, but not the kind that look like they were made for running. Think Adidas Sambas, New Balance 550s or Nike Air Force 1s, always slightly scuffed. The goal is something that says, "These are just what I threw on," even if that decision was very much deliberated. If you feel more daring, dig out those chunky loafers and Chelsea boots; models have a way of making them look like an afterthought, even when they pull everything together. Prada's platform loafers get a lot of mileage. So do Doc Martens. Make sure the socks peek out strategically. The goal? A little edge, a little nonchalance. Models off duty don't pile on accessories, but they don't ignore them either. Gold hoops, always. A baseball cap on days when the effort is at an all-time low. Sunglasses, preferably dark, preferably oval or rectangular, to cultivate just the right amount of mystery. You won't see an off-duty model lugging around a bag that looks like it belongs in a museum. The best ones are simple, structured, in black or tan leather. A worn-in tote. A crescent-shaped crossbody. Something that says, "I don't have time to swap this out." The off-duty model look is about striking a balance: ever too polished, never too sloppy. It's a tank top with vintage jeans. A blazer over a hoodie. Trousers with sneakers. The best outfits feel intuitive, as if they happened by accident. Of course, they didn't. But that's the beauty of it all. The trick is to make it look like they did.
