"Free spirit" Cindy Crawford is gracing the November cover of Haute Living magazine and proving that age is just a number. Shot by famous celebrity photographer Brian Bowen Smith, the 56-year-old supermodel poses in bed and teases her lacy bra through an unbuttoned shirt.
An even sultrier version of the photo tantalized fans on her Instagram feed, with the fashion icon showing some serious skin in Dior haute couture.

In the cover photo, Crawford sits up in bed with one leg folded in front of her. She rests a hand on her knee, peering through a gauzy tulle skirt and shoots a smoldering look at the camera with her lips slightly parted seductively.
Clad in all-black, the photo is closely cropped to her trendy ensemble that pops out against the crimpled white bedsheets and earth-toned headrest. She looks enticing at 56 in a way that surpasses (or rather, has outgrown) her sex-symbol status at the beginning of her modeling career. But more on that later.

The runway queen looked breathtaking in a saucier take of the same photo in which her shirt was wide open and bared her full cleavage. Adorned with a dainty see-through trim, her racy bra mirrored her sheer shirt that draped over the side of the bed. She pulled her top down one shoulder and exposed her toned midriff, sending pulses racing with her hair seductively swept to the side.
No one can pull off a combination of classy and sensual quite like Crawford, and that was more than evident in the comments she received. "Simply the best - better than all the rest. And she always will be!" one fan quoted Tina Turner's hit The Best, while another gushed: "Timeless beauty. still can turn heads."
The model-turned-entrepreneur added two more snaps from the sizzling photoshoot, including one wherein she flaunted her bare legs in sexy Chanel duds and Louboutin sling-backs. She wore an unbuttoned black shirt-dress over a white bodysuit, accentuating her waist with a chain belt.
The final snap treated viewers to an eyeful of braless cleavage as Crawford pulled open her blazer and parted her legs. She rocked an oversized Marc Jacobs top and a matching maxi skirt, paired with strappy heels from Giuseppe Zanotti.

Crawford delivered one fashion statement after another in the sultry photoshoot, with an
alternative cover portraying her in a slinky Versace midi dress with a revealing square neckline. In the image, she lounged on a sofa and elegantly crossed her legs, showing off her pointy-end Versace pumps.
Elsewhere in the magazine pages, she flashed her endless pins in a Saint Laurent long coat with a cinched waist. Strappy silver heels wrapped around her ankles, further highlighting her sculpted gams.

The legendary supermodel is not trying to hide her years. In fact, quite the opposite. In her Haute Living cover story, she talked about gracefully embracing the passage of time. Crawford doesn't like being called "ageless" and credits the success of her beauty brand, Meaningful Beauty, to presenting herself in public and photoshoots as authentically as possible.
"My face has gotten much thinner; my mouth isn’t as full. Being told I’m ageless isn’t right, especially because getting older is hard enough, never mind that we live in a youth-obsessed culture."
Dishing sage advice about accepting healthy aging and the fine lines and wrinkles that come with it, she added: "I'm not 25, so why should I be trying to look 25? Why do I want someone to mistake me for a 25-year-old? I've had children. I have all this life experience."
