Cindy, who is married to businessman Rande Gerber, showed off her age-defying figure in the shoot where she sported an extremely revealing lace jumpsuit, which flashed her pert decolletage.

In another shot, the mother-of-two wore a pair of white, palazzo pants with a voluminous black blouse while she pulled her expert pout for the sultry shoot. 

The stunning star, who shot to fame in the late 1980s, put her famous legs on show as she wore  navy silk gown with a pair of sky-high suede heels.

In the candid interview, Cindy opened up about her concerns for 14-year-old aspiring model Kaia as she fears for the pressure to be thin in the fashion industry.  

The brunette beauty, who is also mother to 16-year-old son Presley, insists that she encourages her daughter to embrace her figure and distance herself from any intimidation to look a certain way. 

Cindy, who is famed for her 5ft 9in frame and toned curves, urges Kaia to eat how she likes and even jibes her about 'stealing' her famous assets.

She says: 'Today, models are expected to be so tiny and I worry about that for her, because that was never my natural body type and I don’t think it’ll be hers either. Still, I’ll say to her: "Enjoy carbs while you can!"

'Kaia’s blossoming into such a beautiful young woman and I really want to let her shine. I don’t want her to feel in competition with me, although I’ll tease her, and say, "You have my old hair – give it back!" Or, "Give me back my legs!"

'But she’ll be fine… She’s much more together and worldly than I was at her age.'
