Models are the “calling cards” of the fashion industry. And they owe a duty to be beautiful, well-groomed and slim (although plus size models are also very popular). Let us bask in the rays of charm of the most beautiful models in the world, and learn a little more about them.
10. Gigi Hadid
Jelena Nura "Gigi" Hadid has become the face of a new generation of supermodels. Her career is built not only on excellent external data, but also on social networking skills. She turned the process of her own promotion into a kind of art. Together with her sister Bella and Kendall, Jenner Hadid is a bright representative of “social media models”.
The future of this star seems even brighter than the present.
“I work with people who love what they have been doing for 30, 40, and 50 years,” she told British Vogue. "That's what I want to be like."
9. Adriana Lima
Queen Victoria’s Secret Adriana Lima is one of the brand’s most famous models. She appeared in Victoria’s Secret in 1999 and completed her last walk on the catwalk in 2018. In total, the collection of Lima has 20 catwalk shows.
Even after leaving Victoria’s Secret, Lima’s career continues to evolve. She appeared with Jenner in the Miu Miu cruise campaign in 2019 and became the face of collaboration between PUMA and Maybelline.
“I worked hard and continue to work on new projects and look after two beautiful daughters. Life is as full as ever, and I like it, ”Adriana said in an interview.
8. Robin Loli
It's no secret that the fashion world is obsessed with thinness. Agencies ask for models that are too full to lose weight, and almost a third of girls in the modeling business experience eating disorders.
Against this background, Robin Loli looks like a wonderful yacht among small boats. And although this model wears 12 American clothing sizes (Russian 52), it is still considered a plus size model.
“Personally, I hate the term plus size. He’s ridiculous and derogatory, belittles a woman and puts a label on her, ”said Loli in an interview with Australia Cosmopolitan.
Robin drew public attention to the beauty of curvaceous forms, appearing on the cover of Vogue Italia, strolling along the catwalk during Milan Fashion Week, and debuting in advertising campaigns for Mango, Ralph Lauren, and Lane Bryant.
7. Sun Feifei
The beautiful Chinese woman is one of the leading Asian models in the world. She was the first Asian woman to receive the solo cover of Vogue Italia. In 2014, she crossed the Atlantic and made her debut in American Vogue on the September cover.
Feifei also appeared in advertising campaigns for leading fashion brands such as Prada and Chanel. But young Sun got to the model school only to correct her posture.
“I am grateful to everyone who has helped me so far,” she told Vogue Italia. “But I have not yet reached the pinnacle of my career. I am still moving forward. ”
6. Miranda Kerr
The most beautiful models in the world, as a rule, begin their careers in their teens, but Miranda Kerr is one of the youngest supermodels in modern history.
At age 13, Kerr won the competition to find a model for the DOLLY brand. She succeeded in Australia, and then moved to the American market, working with Maybelline. A couple of years later, she became the first Australian angel Victoria’s Secret. And she continued to gain momentum, becoming the first pregnant model on the cover of the Australian edition of Vogue in 2011.
And in 2010, a funny and curious incident happened with Kerr, proving not only her sexuality, but also kindness. During the filming of TV news, an employee of the Australian bank Macquarie was caught watching an e-mail with candid photos of Kerr. He was threatened with job loss, but help came from where they did not wait.
“I was told that there is a petition to save his work, and, of course, I would have signed it,” Miranda said in an interview with the BBC. As a result, the banker retained his position and may be more careful when viewing emails.
5. Bhumika Arora
One of the most beautiful girls of models looks at the same time both sensually and strictly. Vogue magazine once described her as a woman with a capricious look, sultry lips and jealousy with a lean look.
Bhumiki's Indian roots influence not only her appearance, but also her work style. She refuses to appear topless in public or wear revealing clothes.
“This is my decision, and it is related to my culture. I feel guilty for making designers worry when they try to create their own shows, but still can't do it, ”said Aurora.
4. Hayley Bieber
Haley Bieber (née Baldwin) already had popularity before she took the name of the famous singer.
As part of the Baldwin family - her father Stephen Baldwin - Haley was no stranger to show business. In 2014, she debuted on the catwalk, becoming a model of the British retailer Topshop.
Baldwin ticked all areas of fame of the modern supermodel.
- Appearance on the cover of a fashion magazine? There is.
- New York Fashion Week? There is.
- Work with famous brands? There is.
But the cherry on Haley's star cake was a marriage with Justin Bieber in the fall of 2018. The attention of the media and social networks is riveted to this pair, and it is not always positive. However, Haley follows the rule "let the dogs bark and the caravan go forward." She became the face of Levi’s jeans a few months after the wedding. And it is unlikely to stop there.
3. Cara Delevingne
One of the most beautiful fashion models and actresses in the world stands out for its unusually large eyes, giving it a resemblance to the heroine of a Japanese anime.
Kara's ascension to fame began in 2012, and in just one year, she managed to break into the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show, which is very prestigious even for an experienced top model, not to mention a newcomer.
Although Delevingne will never be able to surpass those early years in terms of workload, her career is still uphill. Even despite the fact that in 2015 she left the podium due to stress.
“I kind of forgot how young I was. I felt so old, ”Delevingne complained to The Times.
In 2018, she returned to the world of haute couture and continues to be one of the most sought after and highest paid models in the world.
2. Liu Wen
The first Chinese model to appear on the Victoria’s Secret catwalk, on the cover of American Vogue, is on the list of Forbes highest paid models. Oh, and she is the first woman from Asia to be chosen as the representative model for cosmetic titanium Estée Lauder.
1. Irina Shayk
The list of the most beautiful models would not be complete without the Russian beauty, who was the face of such well-known brands as Armani Exchange, Alberta Ferretti, Givenchy & Givenchy Jeans, L'Oreal Paris and others. And in 2016 she took part in the Victoria's Secret Fashion underwear show Show. Moreover, at that time Irina was pregnant with her daughter, who was given the name Leia de Sienne Shake Cooper. The father of the child is the famous actor Bradley Cooper.
Irina became so recognizable and popular that she got her own character in the computer game Need for Speed: The Run. There, her heroine is called Mila Belova.
