She’s a 90s supermodel married to a blockbuster movie director… are you able to guess who?

She’s a 90’s supermodel married to a famous film director.

And on Tuesday, she took to Instagram with a clip promoting UNICEF (United Nations Children’s Fund), which featured a baby-faced throwback photo of her. 

This German-born runway sensation, 54, who was once engaged to a famous magician, shared that the UN agency asked her to design a t-shirt inspired by her childhood to celebrate World Children’s Day.

The adorable snap was simply a close-up of her face, and looked worlds away from the red carpet glamour she’s known for. 

Before becoming a Vogue cover girl, she once dreamed of being a lawyer, and worked at her father’s law firm. She was later scouted at a nightclub in Düsseldorf in 1987, at the age of 17, and signed to a modeling agency. 

This beauty, who has also appeared on the cover of Playboy, now shares two daughters and a son with a renowned English filmmaker. Can you guess who she is?

That’s right, it’s Claudia Schiffer, catwalk queen and wife of Argylle director Matthew Vaughn, 51.

Claudia was promoting raising vital funds for UNICE, the UN agency that provides humanitarian and developmental aid to children worldwide.

She designed a t-shirt with her dog Sultan’s face on it, remembering fondly how she used to walk the rescue German Shepherd when she was a child, and sharing that ‘every child deserves the joy of play, connection and laughter.’

Schiffer is currently a UK Goodwill Ambassador for the organization. 

Actress Olivia Colman also took part in the initiative, as she led stars at the UNICEF UK World Children’s Day Gala in London on Wednesday. 

The inaugural Once Upon Our Time gala hosted 200 guests and raised a large sum of around $839,000 ‘to support UNICEF in continuing its life-changing work to ensure children’s futures and their childhoods are protected,’ per a statement.

Born in the small town of Rheinberg, Germany, to mother Gudrun and father Heinz Schiffer, Claudia rose to fame after being discovered by Michel Levaton, the founder and CEO of French modeling agency Metropolitan Models.

After high school, she embarked on a modeling career, starting with a trial photo shoot in Paris. This led to her first cover on Elle magazine.

In 1989, the 5ft 11in blonde beauty began starring in campaigns for Guess, and was later picked by the late Karl Lagerfeld to become the new face of Chanel.

She walked in her first fashion show in January 1990.

‘My wife persuaded me to be a director,’ he said on The One Show. ‘I was a producer. She said: “Direct Layer Cake,” because Guy Ritchie fell out of it or left.’
