CINDY CRAWFORD‘s Beauty Mark

One of Vogue's all-time most iconic covers in January 1990, CINDY CRAWFORD starred on along with Naomi Campbell and Christy Turlington. But her previous covers for the magazine didn't trait one of her most famous trademarks - her mole.

"The first time they put me on the cover, they airbrushed off my mole," Cindy said in New York Fashion Week newspaper, The Daily. "Whenever they mess with the mole, I cringe!" she added.

In January this year, Kaia Gerber, 10 years old daughter of Crawford is set to follow her mother's modeling footsteps - having landed Versace's inaugural children swear campaign.

"At this point, she's too young to pursue a career; also there aren't even a handful of jobs for a 10-year-old girl. But if she's 17 and wants to try it, of course, what can I say? She kind of jokingly said - I'm not even sure if it was jokingly - 'I might model first because you don't have to know how to do anything, but then I want to be a baby nurse.'" Crawford added.

The actress' sister Savannah confirmed her pregnancy last month. Photographs also came into view on Friday showing the mother-to-be wearing a ring on her engagement finger, but still Miller's spokesperson did not confirm or deny the wedding rumors.
