Cindy Crawford is one of the world’s most beautiful women, but she would rather look like her 10-year-old daughter.
In a sad reflection of the world’s obsession with youth, Cindy, 46, says she would swap her womanly curves for her daughter Kaia’s childish figure in an instant.
“I look at my daughter and I’m like, ‘You have my old skin and I want it back! You have my old legs, I want them back! You have my old hair, I want it back!’ She is just getting more and more beautiful,” Cindy told Access Hollywood.

But while Cindy is jealous of her daughter’s beauty and insecure about her own maturing looks, her happy home life makes everything easier to cope with.
“I think if you’re happy in your life, it’s a lot easier to take,” she said.
Kaia — Cindy’s daughter with her husband Rande Gerber — made her modelling debut last year, posing for a Versace youth campaign.
Her entrance into the modelling industry at such a tender age ignited controversy around the world, but Cindy defended her decision to let Kaia model, saying the shoot was “beautiful” and “age-appropriate”.

Cindy was 16 years old when she was discovered and quickly became one of the biggest supermodels of the 1980s and ’90s.
She still models today, and is widely regarded to have one of the most beautiful faces of all time.
