Cindy Crawford's Trick for Taking Perfect Selfies Is Kind of Brilliant

Did you miss an important holiday yesterday? While you were too busy trying to get to the end of the week, you probably forgot about #NationalSelfieDay. But, thankfully, Cindy Crawford definitely did not. (Phew!) The supermodel posted a cute robe-clad Instagram for the holiday, but it was one specific comment that caught our eye.
Crawford's famous friend, Rita Wilson, commented on her post with the helpful hint she learned from the model: "You taught me the best selfie trick!" Wilson wrote. "Hit the three-second timer on your phone, click the shutter and extend out. No need to fumble with clicking a button! [No] shaking! Just perfect series!" Simple enough, right? Scroll down to see how Crawford has used the trick in her best Instagram selfies.
Cindy Crawford's Best Selfies

Erin got her start as a Who What Wear intern in 2011—back when the site only published a single story per day. (We have since increased that number twentyfold.) She graduated magna cum laude from USC and lives in Los Angeles. In college, she also interned at Refinery29, where she was promoted to editorial assistant and then assistant editor. After nearly three years at R29, she came back to WWW in 2015, where she is now the Associate Director of Fashion News. From the Oscars to the Met Gala, she leads the site's entire red carpet coverage strategy. She specializes in celebrity and fashion news but also enjoys writing travel features and runway reports. She frequently contributes to WWW's social accounts and has a sizable following on her personal TikTok.
