PEOPLE didn't name a Sexiest Man Alive in 1994 – or in 1993. Instead, Cindy Crawford and Richard Gere landed on the cover as the Sexiest Couple Alive. In spite of their careers as supermodel and superstar, the twosome (who split a year later) were a laid-back duo. "Richard loves me without my makeup and in my ponytail,'' Crawford had said. ''So, hey, if it's good enough for him, it's good enough for me.''
