14 Cindy Was Well Known For A Mole

Being a successful model normally requires a person to be absolutely flawless. A clear complexion, voluminous hair and a perfect body tend to be the norm for models. Cindy Crawford was one of the many celebrities who was working to break the stereotype. Cindy has a large mole, now referred to as a beauty mark, above her lip.

Normally, this would be something that turned people off from hiring her. Cindy's sister had told her to get the mark removed, which Cindy had planned on doing.

Today, people draw on these beauty marks with various forms of makeup, trying to add to the uniqueness of their faces.

While Cindy was a supermodel all through the '90s, and her children are following closely in her lead, many people speak about how this family consists of almost all models. That statement is false, as each member of the family has modeled. Entrepreneur Rande started his career off as a model.

Vogue reports that Rande was signed to Ford Models as a college student.

When he was not in class, he was traveling the country to different photo shoots. Gerber was the epitome of '80s fashion in his jean ensembles. Each member of the Gerber-Crawford family has had their time with a major modeling agency or on a variety of magazine covers. This just proves that Kaia and Presley were meant to be models, as they inherited that trait from both parents.

11 The Wedding Was Top Secret

Cindy Crawford had been married to another man prior to her marriage to Rande Gerber. She had spent a few years being married to actor Richard Gere. After their divorce, she started dating Rande. The couple decided that they wanted to get married, but they did not want it to be a big spectacle. They wanted something that would be meaningful to them and their love.

Crawford did not wear a traditional wedding dress for this beach wedding.

She told People that she kept everything about the wedding under wraps, asking a friend to send over a number of black and white dresses for a party. Cindy fell in love with a slip-style white dress that fell about mid-thigh. To this day, they have no regrets about their choices.

Daughter Kaia commented on her mother's Instagram in shock, recognizing that the yard looked remarkably similar to theirs.

5 Presley Has A Tattoo For a Special Lady

Back in the day, a tattoo would be the kiss of death for a model, especially if the tattoo was noticeable on their body. This did not stop Presley from getting a lady's name tattooed onto his body.

Around the time of his eighteenth birthday, Presley went to a tattoo shop with his girlfriend and his sister.

He asked for the tattoo artist to tattoo the name in lowercase, cursive script. His girlfriend was quick to share this process on social media, as per People.
