Cindy Crawford is more famous for the trademark mole on her face than stretch marks - but it seems that even supermodels suffer from the unsightly signs of motherhood.

The 41-year-old's body has been splashed all over magazines and has been the envy of every woman.

But her striking stretch marks were seen for the first time when she played in the sea on a Hawaiian holiday this week.

The 41-year-old's stomach was showing the effects of having two children as she enjoyed the surf on a paddle board alongside her husband Rande Gerber.

The couple have two children, Presley, eight, and Kaya, six. Crawford gave birth to both her children through natural home birth.

She has previously been ranked number 5 on Playboy's list of the 100 Sexiest Stars of the 20th century.
