No flashback necessary! 50-year-old Cindy Crawford looks stunning in a makeup-free selfie on Instagram

No one is immune to the turning of time, but some stars just seem to defy the clock.

On Friday Cindy Crawford showed off her timeless beauty in a no-makeup selfie on Instagram.

The 50-year-old embraced her age in the no-frills photo, showing herself relaxing with a bare face at her Malibu home.

Good lighting: Cindy Crawford shared a makeup free selfie on Instagram Friday that showed off the nearly 51-year-old star's flawless skin and iconic beauty mark

Cindy looks phenomenal in the afternoon sunlight, seated in front of several bright windows.

Stripes of shadow run across the nearly 51-year-old star's bare face as she tilts her chin up and smiles at the camera.

The runway legend captioned the shot: 'Letting the sunshine in — stripes and all!'

Fresh face: The stunning mother of two has been a fan of intimate Instagram shots lately. Last week, the star shared this pic of herself fresh from the shower during a moment of reflection 

In the pic it's hard to spot any of the supposed 'stripes' on Cindy's face, but you can see the star's iconic beauty mark alongside expertly arched brows.

Her high cheekbones and smooth skin make it seem as if she was in her thirties only yesterday.

The Becoming author's brown hair adds an extra degree of effortless beauty, looking naturally tousled in the candid snap. 

Family outing: Cindy looked lovely as ever while spotted shopping with look-a-like daughter Kaia, 16,  and her husband Rande Gerber in Malibu earlier this week

Crop it like Kaia in Re/Done jeans

If you're after a new pair of jeans but don't know which trend to try then how about going cropped?

While we love boyfriend, skinny, flares and high-waisted styles, it's all about showing off those ankles this season. And if you need inspiration then look to Kaia Gerber who was rocking this pair by RE/DONE.

This label was started by Alessandra Ambrosio's boyfriend Jamie Mazur and it specializes in taking old Levi's and re-working them into new and updated styles. Great idea don't you think? And with fans in everyone from Kendall Jenner to Chrissy Teigen you know it's cool girl approved.

So why not give them a try? Click nab Kaia's pair at FWRD or head to our edit below for more cropped jeans from the likes of Mother, Cheap Monday and Weekday.

The aging beauty has been candid about how the spotlight has shifted her self image over time.

In a latest issue of New Beauty the star was frank, sharing: 'No matter what I do, I'm not going to look 20, or 30. I just want to look great for 50...

'There's pressure on women to do the undoable, which is not age. But it's about looking great for however old you are, regardless of what that number is.'
