We’ve witnessed her sashay the catwalk with her long, toned gams, studied her alluring poses in high fashion spreads, wanted a Pepsi after viewing her Super Bowl ad, and shaped our bodies with her workout videos. The owner of that legendary, impeccably placed mole has graced us with her irrevocable beauty for decades. Today, Cindy Crawford has accomplished 5 decades of her fabulous life. Yet, we just can’t get enough of her. How are we so mesmerized by the complete molecular structure of Madame Crawford?

Beauty is equated with having high quality genes and health. We know she won the gene pool, but is Cindy Crawford seen as beautiful or cute? This depends on who is looking at her. Men have more trouble perceiving cuteness, but women recognize both cute and beautiful. Attractiveness can be assessed using partial optical data and men assess female body appeal using peripheral vision. Beauty is detected and judged by one’s peripheral vision, so a person does not need to stare straight at Cindy to see that she is beautiful. However, a person needs to use their central vision to see that she is cute.

Is Cindy Crawford rated as an extravert, agreeable, open, neurotic, or conscientious on the Big Five model of facial first impressions? Internal facial features seem to sway defining these apparent personality traits. A smiling face initially influences overall impressions, hinting that the person is more open. Also, social attractiveness increases for smiling faces, which is referred to as social attractiveness. If a person is found to be socially attractive, then they are also viewed as being trustworthy and helpful.

In conclusion, studies have shown blah, blah, and blah regarding our attraction to and the beauty of Cindy Crawford; who has established herself beyond superficially beautiful. Ms. Crawford has successfully tackled being a Super Model and savvy businesswoman with charm, class, and grace. Happy 50th Birthday.
