Still got it! Cindy Crawford returns to the cover of Shape magazine 20 years on... and still looks as amazing as ever

It's incredible how little she's aged in 20 years.
Almost exactly two decades ago Cindy Crawford was the 26-year-old cover girl for Shape magazine - and now she's back.

And it looks like barely a day has passed since the Illinois-born beauty donned a swimsuit and posed for the first time for them.
How does she do it: Cindy Crawford is on the cover of Shape 20 years after her first shoot for the magazine and still looks as fantastic as ever

The mother-of-two opened up to the magazine about her anti-ageing secrets and about how she has kept her trim, gravity-defying figure after all these years.
She told Shape: 'You take your body and your fitness for granted in your 20’s a lot and to do a Shape cover now at 46 reminds me that all the hard work and all the times that you work out even when you don’t that it all pays off.
'It’s cumulative. It will catch up to you over the years either in a bad way if you don’t take care of your body, or in a good way. If you do take care of your body.'

Crawford says that she is fully committed to staying in shape and works out at least three times a week with a personal trainer.
As if hardly a day has passed: Crawford first graced the cover when she was 26 and it looks as if she hasn't aged a bitHow does she do it: Cindy Crawford is on the cover of Shape 20 years after her first shoot for the magazine and still looks as fantastic as ever

And on top of that she likes to do other outdoor activities with her girlfriends.
She said: 'I try to go hiking once a week and I really love to go with a girlfriend because it’s like therapy plus working out.
'It reminds me to stop and appreciate that I’m in Malibu and that I have these beautiful surroundings.'
Crawford, who used to be married to Richard Gere, also conceded that most women do not have the free time or the resources she has to keep up a gruelling fitness regime but said that 'whatever you have time for' is better than nothing.
She said: 'I think a lot of women get in this head that if you don’t have an hour to go to the gym then it’s not worth it - but 10 minutes is worth it, 30 minutes is worth it.

'Whatever you have time for. It’s better than nothing.'

Another piece of advice from the entrepreneurial model, who also has a beauty product line and a home furnishings line, was for women to aim for and maintain a 'do-able' weight.
She said: 'An interesting beauty tip that I got from Dr. Sebagh [who she works closely with on her beauty line] that made me think and a lot of women don’t think this way, but pick the weight you can maintain, so it’s not your skinniest weight , it’s your do-able weight, and stay there.
'He really feels like when you yo-yo - you lose five pounds, you gain five pounds - that’s really bad for your skin because of the elasticity.
'Your skin stretches and then it goes back and then it stretches.'

Crawford continued: 'I think the mistake I see women make is the wrong color foundation.
'Taking care of your skin is what you put in your body.
'Drinking a lot of water and of course the healthier you are, the more of a healthy diet you eat I think that shows on your face.'

Meanwhile the jet-setting clotheshorse and her businessman husband Rande Gerber have just returned from a short break in Puerto Rico.
The pair were spotted on Monday at Luis Munoz Marin International Airport after spending a few days in San Juan where Gerber, 50, was launching his new rum brand Caliche.

While Rande shmoozed - he owns 22 bars in all including Whiskey Blue both in LA and New York - Cindy relaxed at the hotel and on the beach with the couple's two children, Presley, 13, and Kaia, 11.

On Friday Cindy tweeted: 'Enjoying a lazy afternoon in Puerto Rico--here to launch hubby's rum @caliche!'

The next day she might have been feeling a little reflective when she added: 'We love living by the beach - - to me, there is something so therapeutic about the sound of the ocean.'

Ben Affleck, One Direction and 50 Shades of Grey writer E.L. James have been named among the Ten Most Fascinating People of 2012.
The Argo director, British boyband and literary sensation have made the ranks this year for Barbara Walters' annual television special.
The veteran newswoman, who announced the list on The View on Monday, revealed Family Guy creator Seth MacFarlane and Olympic gymnast Gabby Douglas also made the cut.

Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton makes the list for a second time; and New Jersey Governor Chris Christie will make his debut.

Three others on the list have yet to be announced.

Affleck has had a banner year, now tipped for an Oscar for his critically-acclaimed CIA drama Argo, in which he stars and directs.
One Direction has meanwhile conquered the U.S. music charts after its members Harry Styles, Zayn Malik, Liam Payne, Louis Tomlinson and Niall Horan emerged a public favourite after finishing third on The X Factor UK in 2010, while James has made similar feats in the literary world with her erotic novel.

The most fascinating person of 2012 will be named during Walters' December television special, which typically includes sit-down interviews with those on the list.
Clinton was previously named in 1993 during her tenure as First Lady of the United States.
Late Apple boss Steve Jobs was number one on the list last year, preceded by shamed former CIA boss General David Patraeus in 2010.
First Lady Michelle Obama was number one in 2009, preceded by President Barack Obama.

She also added there would be 'no criminals' on the list.

Victoria's Secret supermodel Swanepoel

Who told you this was a good look, Candice? Victoria's Secret supermodel Swanepoel posts picture of her concave stomach ahead of lingerie show

She sparked fears last year when she shocked with her alarmingly thin figure at a Victoria's Secret event.
Following the controversy, Victoria's Secret Angel Candice Swanepoel later appeared to put on some weight.
But in the lead up to the lingerie giant's 2012 Fashion show on Wednesday, the blonde stunner seems to have shed even more off her already tiny frame.

The 24-year-old posted a picture of her concave stomach on her Instagram account, which suggests that she has been doing some serious working out and fasting.

She accompanied the snap with the caption: 'Two days left till the #VSfashionshow rrraaauuwwwr!'
In the picture, Candice's hip bones are protruding, and she is sporting some serious abdominal muscles.

The blue-eyed model appeared to have come straight from a work-out session, wearing a pair of grey tracksuit bottoms and a blue and white tie-dye sports bra.
She along with all the other Angels including Miranda Kerr, Adriana Lima and Lily Aldridge, have been working hard to get into tip-top shape for the star-studded show in New York, which will air on December 4.
But Candice's appearance poses the question of whether she has taken it too far.
Rail thin: Candice drew gasps when she appeared at a Victoria's Secret swimwear launch early last year, looking almost emaciated next to Adriana Lima and Alessandra Ambrosio

Candice drew gasps when she appeared at a Victoria's Secret swimwear launch early last year.
The supermodel was at The Mondrian hotel in Los Angeles to model the new Victoria's Secret swimwear line.
Standing alongside models Alessandra Ambrosio and Adriana Lima, she stood out from her fellow Angels with her pencil thin legs and concaved stomach.
Looking healthier: But she later appeared to have put on some weight when she appeared on the catwalk later in the year in November

She also appeared noticeably slimmer around the jawline.
While Adriana and Alessandra looked slender in their black swimsuits, Candice looked almost emaciated next to the two girls.
Following the controversial appearance, Candice defended her dramatically slimmed down figure, insisting she was perfectly healthy.

The South African model insisted: 'I am healthy and happy.'
She told celebrity website People.com: 'I'm heartened to know how much everyone cares about me, but in this case, everything is normal and good.'
At the time Candice attributed her rail-thin physique to dieting, stress and working out.
In November 2010, she told ABC News and New York Fashion week that her hectic schedule contributed to her super slim look.
'I've been traveling around like crazy,' she said in the interview at the time. 'I get skinnier if I'm very busy.'
