While Savage X Fenty is a lingerie and sleepwear brand, Crawford opened the show in a silky teal gown with a high slit. The intro involved Crawford walking up a staircase, striking some poses, and then posing again in an elevator, all during a performance by singer Jade Novah. Prior to the premiere of the show, Crawford teased her involvement on Instagram with a video of her walking toward a building wearing the dress. After the premiere, she also posted a photo of her modeling the gown. Crawford has spoken about the idea of retiring from modeling in the past, but she’s leaving the door open for future opportunities. In 2016, Crawford told United Hemispheres Magazine (via Today), “I’m sure I’ll have my picture taken for 10 more years, but not as a model anymore. And that’s OK. I’ve done it. I’ve worked with all these incredible photographers. What else do I need to do? I can’t keep reinventing myself. I shouldn’t have to keep proving myself. I don’t want to.” But, she then clarified in an Instagram post that this was not her saying she was retiring. “Every year, I tell my kids I’m retiring. It’s a running joke in our family. And yet every year, opportunities pop up that really excite me,” she wrote. She went on to say that she was interested in shifting her focus to her businesses, friends, and family, but was “not making any final statements.” She added, “I have loved being part of the fashion industry for the past 30 years—and if that time has taught me anything, it’s this: never say never.” In another headline-making return to the runway, Crawford was part of a supermodel reunion in 2017. She walked the Versace runway with contemporaries Naomi Campbell, Carla Bruni, Claudia Schiffer, and Helena Christensen, who all wore matching metallic gowns. She also continues to take part in photoshoots. For instance, Crawford was recently on the cover of Vogue Brasil.
