SHE has a body most women half her age would envy.

Not bad for a 41-year-old mother of two - one of the world's most in-demand supermodels 20 years ago.

Cindy Crawford jetted into Sydney yesterday and showed she still has the famous body that propelled her to the top of the fashion world. And she confessed it was only now that she had become more comfortable in her skin.

"I think I am happier with my body now because I am less judgmental of all women, including myself," Crawford told The Daily Telegraph.

"I have more self confidence. I appreciate my body for all that it has done - most importantly, giving birth to two children."

The supermodel arrived in Sydney early yesterday for a two-day visit as part of a modelling gig as the face of Omega watches.

She said she was not surprised that the original supermodels, including Linda Evangelista, Claudia Schiffer and Naomi Campbell, were still in demand.

"I don't think that we ever really went too far away. The nature of fashion is that it is always changing, but at the same time I think women like to see familiar faces," she said.

Schiffer, 36, has just been signed up by fashion house Chanel. Evangelista, 42, took the cover of US Vogue last year and Campbell recently made the cover of US fashion magazine W.

Crawford is here to open the luxury Omega store in Castlereagh St tonight. She also will host a black tie party for Omega in Martin Place, along with fellow Omega spokesperson Ian Thorpe.

The US model made her name in the early '90s as one of the original "supermodels" and has been on 600 magazine covers. She is based in Malibu and is married to nightclub owner Rande Gerber, with two children - a son, Presley, 6, and a daughter, Kaya, 5.
