Cindy Crawford, 55, takes Rihanna's Savage X Fenty fashion show by storm in a plunging slip gown and daring slit

Legendary supermodel Cindy Crawford teased footage of her runway walk in the third installment of Savage X Fenty's fashion show on Wednesday. 

While giving fans a first look of her surprise appearance with a clip posted to Instagram, the Illinois-born beauty, 55, rocked a plunging emerald gown.

Despite only showing her dress from behind as she strutted around the Big Apple, the mom-of-two served some major leg as her dress featured a sexy thigh-split.

Her chic ensemble was styled with a large, gold bangle bracelet, matching open-toe heels and a shimmering teal eyeshadow. 

Her side-swept brown tresses looked extra glamorous while pulled over one shoulder. 

Throughout the 1980s and 1990s, Crawford was an ubiquitous presence on magazine covers, runways and fashion campaigns.

After more than four decades as a household name, she is regarded as one of the foremost supermodels in the world. 

From 1991 to 1995, she was in a high-profile marriage to Hollywood star Richard Gere.

Following their divorce, she tied the knot with male model turned entrepreneur Rande Gerber in 1998.

The couple are parents to son Presley, 22, and daughter Kaia, 20, both of whom have followed their famous parents into modeling. 

Kaia, who has taken the fashion world by storm since making her catwalk debut at the age of 16, has now also ventured into acting.

Following small roles in 2016 and 2017, she booked her largest part to date in the Ryan Murphy anthology series American Horror Stories.

The show is a spin-off of the similarly named American Horror Story and the teen was seen in the second of a two-art episode that was released last week.

She also has a role in the upcoming new AHS season titled Double Feature.
