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.

Erin Fitzpatrick
Senior News Editor

Erin got her start as a Who What Wear intern over 12 years ago—back when the site only published a single story per day. (Who What Wear has since increased that number twentyfold.) She graduated magna cum laude from USC, which is how she ended up moving to Los Angeles from her hometown of San Diego. 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 2016, where she currently holds the title of senior news editor (as well as the unofficial title of resident royal expert—in case you haven't noticed her numerous Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton stories). She spends her days trying to incorporate her idols, Anna Wintour and Roger Federer, into as many stories as possible. Outside of work, she loves tennis, classic rock, traveling, and smothering her dog with affection.
