Claudia Schiffer Then & Now (PHOTOS, POLL)

First Posted: 12/28/2010 1:12 pm   Updated: 05/25/2011 6:20 pm

Discovered in the late 1980s at the age of 17, Claudia Schiffer rocketed to supermodel status when she was hand-picked by Karl Lagerfeld as the new face of Chanel.

As of late, Claudia's been spotted runway-side more often than not, balancing the ad campaigns and magazine covers with family time -- husband and film producer Matthew Vaughn and children Caspar, Clementine, and Cosima.

But it seems like whatever Claudia does, it's dramatic and dripping with sex appeal. Her red carpet looks always offer something unexpected, whether it be a bold color or whimsical embellishment.

Check out Claudia then and now.

Too much botox or filler. She used to have that natural beauty appeal, but now looks like most of the other celebrities who go overboard and start looking like wax dummies of themselves.

Aside from the fact that we were all brainwashed about her being one of the best super model of all times. I tried and tried to understand the mystic of her beauty and could not grasp it. She is definitely no at the level of Cindy Crawford, Linda Evangelista or Naomi in anyway. This woman would have fallen bellow average if she did not have a village of people working on looks ....she is definitely ordinary to me. I am starting to believe rumours that she was made a muse by Carl Lagerfeld, who pushed her to the top bcs he was a family friend

Well she looks exactly like Barfot, so that's why.

I see she still has that wonky eye, but still aging pretty well.

Isn't her forehead to tall and doesn't that create asymmetry, which is considered the worst thing in the world of top modeling?

She was very good in her small role in Love Actually. I'm surprised she didn't do more acting.

She should always keep her mouth closed with those big beaver teeth.

not dissing Claudia by any means much less German models as a rule..., but she's no Giselle Bundchen, or Sofia Vergara (or Salma Hayek) for that matter!

There is no down side to liking Claudia, unless you count unavailability...

She has aged well. Her maturity shows through as time goes by.

She has kept her figure. she has aged well. I never have been a huge fan of her face, the brow and eyes seem sunk or something, but, that seems small compared to the whole.

Holy sweet Jesus. Claudia Schiffer is a goddess - even (especially) after having a baby.
