Claudia Schiffer has long been the embodiment of timeless beauty, and on her 55th birthday, she reminded the world she is still a supermodel.
Celebrating poolside in Greece, the German icon slipped into a jaw-dropping white ruffled swimsuit by Chloé, the same one-piece she recently modeled for the label’s summer campaign.
Sharing a series of images with her 2.4 million Instagram followers, Schiffer radiated confidence and glamour, showing off her stunning figure and beachy waves.
“55 today, so lucky to have a happy and healthy birthday!!” she wrote in the caption. The swimsuit, adorned with delicate floral embroidery and finished with a plunging V-neckline, was paired with layered gold necklaces, a trio of rings, and oversized white sunglasses.
Schiffer styled the look with effortless beach chic, transforming a yellow and brown printed towel into a sarong, kneeling gracefully in front of a luxury pool.
Her look was complete with a natural makeup glow and mermaid-length platinum waves. But it wasn’t just her look that had everyone talking. The moment became even more iconic with a cameo from Hailey Bieber’s beauty brand, Rhode.
The supermodel gave fans a peek at a few birthday gifts, including the brand’s viral Lemontini Peptide Lip Tint, a bright yellow Rhode phone case, and a bespoke gold charm bracelet. Schiffer, the face of Rhode’s Barrier Butter, was personally chosen by Bieber for her legendary appeal. As the founder put it, she wanted “somebody who could bring iconic energy” to the campaign.
The birthday festivities followed a weekend of heartfelt family support. Just a day earlier, Claudia was spotted in a Brentford football shirt, showing her love for husband Sir Matthew Vaughn, who recently invested in the Premier League club alongside South African businessman Gary Lubner.
Schiffer looked effortlessly cool in the team jersey, paired with blue jeans and heels as she posed in the stands, locker rooms, and alongside players. She and Vaughn, 54, watched the team secure a 1-0 win against Aston Villa at the Gtech Community Stadium.
Married since 2002, the couple shares three children, Caspar, 22, Clementine, 20, and Cosima, 15. “When I was in my 20s, my focus was on my career – working hard, being competitive and getting to the top,” she told HELLO! Magazine.
“That changed when I had kids… I’m proud of my children, they’re very down to earth, and their wellbeing is mine and my husband’s priority," she said. However, she acknowledges her influence remains intact. Kylie Jenner recently paid homage to Schiffer by wearing a vintage Chanel bikini that the supermodel originally debuted in 1995.
