There’s nothing we love more than a throwback moment, especially one that warrants iconic status. Cindy Crawford just recreated her most memorable look from her unparalleled nineties era, and the snap featured a very special guest.

The supermodel slipped into a classic white tank top and some denim shorts as she paid homage to her famous Pepsi commercial from 1992. A then 29-year-old Cindy was catapulted into the limelight, where she enjoyed a successful career for decades to come.

In the image, Cindy posed with her hand on her hip with her back to a brick wall. A pair of flip-flops added to her cool-girl aesthetic, in addition to a caramel-toned blowout that cascaded down her shoulders.

  She was accompanied by The Late Late Show's former host James Corden, who also sported the iconic outfit.

Cindy was plunged into the spotlight back in the nineties

The supermodel famously shot a commercial for Pepsi in the late nineties

 This isn’t the first time we’ve seen Cindy re-enact her career-defining moment. Back in 2021, the mother-of-two reshot the commercial for a very poignant reason.

The nostalgic shoot by photographer David Yarrow raised money for the American Family Children’s Hospital in Madison, Wisconsin, where Cindy shared that her brother was treated for leukemia.

Sharing the BTS images with fans online, Cindy previously noted: “It’s always a pleasure and a thrill to work with my friend @davidyarrow... and even more so when it's for a good cause. We returned back to the original Halfway House from the famous @pepsi commercial I did in 1992 to recreate the moment (with a David Yarrow twist) in hopes of raising funds for the American Family Children’s Hospital in Madison Wisconsin where my brother was treated for leukemia.”
