Claudia Schiffer Is 2010 "Model of the Year"
Model mom Claudia Schiffer, who's now expecting her third child, was named "Model of the Year" at the 2010 ELLE Style Awards.Pregnancy did not stop the 39 years old German-born supermodel from looking fabulous. She received the award on Monday (February 22) in London wearing a loose fitting black jersey dress by Emma Cook, Miu Miu heeled booties and an Alexander McQueen clutch.
As this year's "Model of the Year," Claudia Schiffer has spoken about the biggest issue confronting the fashion industry today: "Should there be a ban on size zero models, following reports of many underweight models suffering from eating disorder problems?"
"No I don't think so, because I think models have always been thin, ever since I can look back anyway - I've never... no I don't think there has ever a moment where it's been any different.
"The most important thing is that they are healthy. There will always be an exception somewhere, within any profession, whether it's acting or singing. There will always be that one person that is unhealthy and doesn't eat anything and God knows what else they do.
"I mean, you should be able to spot that, if you are a company or a designer you should be able to say this one particular person is not healthy and maybe we shouldn't use her. But in general I think, you can be thin and be healthy, you can be bigger and be healthy as well, you know. It just depends."
As for her maternity style, the supermodel shares her tip through People's Celebrity Baby Blog:
"I'm not the sort of person who likes to wear tight clothes when I'm pregnant, but I'm not a fan of maternity dresses either, so my advice would be to get things a few sizes bigger and have them tailored to fit."
For her pregnancy beauty routine, Claudia Schiffer swears by a mixture of oils and creams for her ever-expanding belly and organic foods for maintaining her healthy glow.
"I do like to put a lot of cream on my tummy, as long it's natural. I think it really works to help stretch marks and make the skin really nice and soft. I use several! Balance Me oil is really good, Mama Mio has a thick buttery cream which is amazing and I also use this French organic oil too — I alternate them.
"During my first pregnancy, I started to eat organically and healthily because that was the first time I actually thought about what I was putting in my body. I'm still doing that today and I'm also just taking it easy, not working out too much, just enjoying this time in my life."
Claudia Schiffer has reached the peak of her supermodel status in the 1990s. She has been a Chanel muse and Karl Lagerfeld's personal favorite. She is one of the world's most successful models, appearing on over 500 magazine covers and an estimated net worth of $55m (£38m) by Forbes.
She is married to director/producer Matthew Vaughn and a mother to son Caspar, 7, and daughter Clementine, 5. She is expecting her third child in May.
