She's not far off the big 5-0, but Cindy Crawford never ceases to amaze with her superb modelling skills.

The 47-year-old graces of cover of C magazine's December issue, as well as a full spread within the glossy pages. And as she exposes her lean limbs with exotic poses, it's clear that once a supermodel, always a supermodel.

One shot captures the mother-of-two in a glittering black blouse that's barely buttoned, revealing a glimpse of her taut midriff. Beneath the shirt, she's wearing a white high-waisted maxi skirt that's spiced up with a sassy thigh-high-split. The picture is taken in front of an ocean-side landscape in Malibu, and Cindy's eyes are closed, as she nudges her head and effortlessly bends her leg to display her sculpted calves.

Two other shots fill up the black-and-white sequence. One captures the wife of Rande Gerber accentuating her thin frame in a tight, sleeveless black dress whilst cinching her waist with her hands. After dressing in something that could be worn to work, the model slipped into an ensemble that resembled pyjamas. But the set was spruced up of course, including a metallic button-down blouse - which exposed her cleavage - and a pair of flouncy wide-leg trousers.

The rest of the feature included colour photos, one profile angle in a black outfit and one frontal shot in strapless bronze dress. Though her eyes are shut for her spread, they are wide open on the cover of the magazine, in which she shows off her ageless features, famous beauty mark, and vixenish pout.
