Famous model girls. The most famous models of the world. Other big names

Nowadays famous models are highly valued. They are offered cooperation by various brands, invited to act in films or become the face of a particular company. Therefore, we regularly see modern models on blue screens and, in principle, we know something about them. But after all, there were models in the 80s, and in the 60s, and even at the beginning of the last century! And many have left their mark on history! It is interesting. Therefore, now not only the famous top models of our time will be listed, but also those women who represented this profession more than a hundred years ago.

Early 20th century

Then, in the distant 1900s, there were not so many famous models. But if anyone gained popularity in those years, it was Denise Poiret. She was the wife of Parisian fashion designer Paul Poiret. Who, in turn, was the most influential figure in the fashion world of the early twentieth century.

Denise was for him not only a wife, but also a muse and a model. All Parisian fashionistas tried to repeat her images. And in the 1910s, Denise imprinted her name in history as the first model to take part in the fashion show.

Twiggy - calling card of the 60s

Since the middle of the twentieth century, there have been more and more famous models. One of the most recognizable was Leslie Hornby, known as Twiggy (pictured above). A simple London girl who, at the age of 16, by chance met the fashionable hairdresser Leonardo and agreed to become the face of a beauty salon owned by him.

A photo of Twiggy was accidentally seen by a journalist from the Daily Express. It changed the girl's life. She was the face of the cover of Tatler and Vogue, played in 18 films, won two Golden Globes and became a style icon. Most historians call Leslie Hornby the first supermodel. By the way, in the mid-60s, even the “Twiggy syndrome” appeared - millions of girls around the world diligently lost weight, just to become as thin as she was.

In 1970, Leslie suddenly decided to end her career. Now she is 67 years old, and Twiggy is still slim and attractive for her age.

seventies

This is a real era, to which several famous world models belong. In particular, two.

Jerry Faye Hall is an American model who, at the age of 16, decided to move to a completely alien and unfamiliar Paris. Together with the equally young and ambitious Jessica Phyllis Lange and Beverly Grace Jones, she posed for an illustrator named Antonio Lopez, who worked with major fashion publications. Her career quickly took off - by the age of 21, Jerry appeared on the covers of the iconic Vogue magazine more than 40 times. By the way, in the 70s, the model became infamous - she starred completely naked for an advertisement for Opium perfume from Yves Saint Laurent.

The second model of the 70s is Vera von Lendorf-Steinort, a German hereditary aristocrat from Königsberg (now Kaliningrad). She was not interested in social events, so in her youth she moved to New York and changed her name - she became Verushka. Starting her career in the 60s, she immediately became a star thanks to her alien appearance and incredibly tall height (190 cm). By the way, her photo is presented above.

The peak of his career came just in the 70s. But in 1975, she fell out with the editor-in-chief of Vogue, after which she left the fashion world forever. However, even now, at the age of 78, Verushka participates in fashion shows as a guest star.

Up until the 90s

Continuing to list the most famous models, it is worth noting the attention of Yasmine Le Bon (photo above). She was born in Oxford to an English mother and an Iraqi. She started her career at school and by the 80s she became one of the highest paid models in the world. Now she is called the owner of ageless beauty - Yasmin is already 52, but she is as attractive as in the 80s.

Another star of that period is the Australian Elle MacPherson. This girl became known for a record six-time appearance on the cover of such an elite publication as Sports Illustrated Swimsuit.

Not to mention the Somali model Iman Mohamed Abdulmajid. She is known as the widow of David Bowie. Famous photographers worked with Iman, including Annie Leibovitz, Helmut Newton and Richard Avedon.

"Model" era

Perhaps this is how you can call the nineties. Many of the girls who then performed in fashion shows and posed for photographs were included in the list of the most famous models in the world. And they are worth listing.

Claudia Schiffer. Record holder among models for the number of photographs on the covers of magazines. Moreover, this figure is recorded in the Guinness Book of Records. She began her career in 1988 and quickly became successful. At her peak, Claudia was the highest paid model in the world, earning over $50,000 a day.

Linda Evangelista (pictured above). She was nicknamed the "chameleon" for her ability to quickly transform, change hairstyles and hair colors. She has collaborated with Versace, Calvin Klein, Chloé and many other famous brands. And Linda became the first supermodel who was offered huge sums for a simple appearance at any event. It was she who said the famous phrase, which was later quoted in all the media: "I will not get out of bed for less than $ 10,000."

Cynthia Ann Crawford. The now famous actress and model was accidentally spotted by a newspaper photographer when she was 16 years old. And how! At work when she was picking corn! This is where it all started. During her career, Cindy has appeared on the covers of 600 magazines around the world, including ELLE, People, Vogue, Cosmopolitan. By the way, in 1997 she became the second most beautiful woman in the world after Demi Moore out of 4,000 applicants.

Tyra Lynn Banks. The girl from Inglewood also started at 15. Two years later, she moved to Paris - she was invited to perform in catwalk shows. In the first week, Tyra made a splash - the girl was offered cooperation from 25 designers at once!

The Russian beauty participated in the shows of such fashion houses as Christian Dior, Chloe, Gucci and others. Her face has repeatedly graced the cover of Vogue magazine.

Most of the female models are vegetarians. Among them is Pivovarova. From an early age, our heroine refused to eat meat and dairy products.

Let's hope that this time everything will end with a magnificent wedding and a happy family life.

Anna Vyalitsyna

The green-eyed blonde is a native of Nizhny Novgorod. Her parents are doctors. Anna never aspired to break into famous models. The names of the stars of the world podium were not known to her. She planned to follow in the footsteps of her parents, that is, to become a doctor. But fate had its own way.

At the end of 2009, she began dating the favorite of millions of women - Leonardo DiCaprio. But their romance was short-lived. Soon the Russian model met the American baseball player Matt Harvey.

It is not possible to list the names of all fashion models who have built a successful career abroad. However, we cannot fail to mention some of them. Natalia Vodianova, Irina Poli, Tatyana Sorokko and Anna Selezneva - all these girls-models adequately represented our country in the beauty industry.

The highest paid models in the world

Nowadays, beauty is not only a source of pride, but also a source of income. Famous models earn millions of dollars by appearing in commercials and photo shoots for glamorous publications. Men admire their external data, and other girls want to be as beautiful and successful as they are.

Closes the top ten most wealthy models in the world This blue-eyed brown-haired woman is from Australia. She earns $3.5 million annually from her work.

Finally

The article listed well-known models that have received worldwide recognition. Representatives of the younger generation are equal to them. Millions of men living in different countries dream of such beauties.

We are used to seeing beautiful people on the covers of magazines and in TV commercials. As a rule, adult men and women become models for filming, who make their way into the beauty industry with blood and sweat and receive recognition from colleagues and beauty experts. However, back in the middle of the last century, PR campaigns began to conduct castings among very young boys and girls, because it is they who will advertise products for children and adolescents much better than adults.

Let's take a closer look at the five youngest and most beautiful models in the world who managed to earn a multi-million dollar fortune before graduation.

Thylane Blondeau from France

Sixteen-year-old beauty Tilan is the daughter of football player Patrick Blondeau and designer Veronica Loubry. The girl began her modeling career at the age of four: Jean-Paul Gaultier himself invited her to the first fashion show. From that moment on, the popularity of the young model has been continuously growing, and her career has been going uphill.

Particularly inquisitive fans of the young beauty drew attention to her outward resemblance to Mila Jovovich in her youth. It is extremely difficult to argue with such a statement. As they say, find ten differences by looking at the photo in the article.

In 2011, Tilan's modeling activities caused a huge scandal in the media. Then Vogue magazine published the next issue, on the cover of which was a young beauty. Everything would be fine, if not for one thing: ten-year-old Tilan appeared in the form of a femme fatale and a sexual temptress.

The girl's parents did not see anything wrong with such a photo shoot, but the readers received a large portion of culture shock.

Mackenzie Christine Foy US

Just like Thylane, seventeen-year-old Mackenzie entered the modeling business at the age of four. The first wave of popularity was given to her by shooting in advertising for clothes of a famous brand. Then hundreds of children came to the casting, but the managers immediately noticed this particular girl, calling her a real charm. Millions of viewers thought the same way when they saw the young beauty on television screens.

After the first debut, the young model did not have time to accept offers from advertising agents representing Ralph Lauren, BlackBerry, Pantene and others.

In 2008, Mackenzie admitted that she dreams of being an actress, not a model. The parents supported the girl's desire and took her to the casting of the sitcom Happily Ever After, where the young beauty successfully passed the selection. Already in 2009-2014, Mackenzie replenished her acting experience with filming in twelve films, and the roles of Renesma (The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn) and Murph (Interstellar) brought her the greatest popularity.

Kristina Pimenova, Russia

Little Christina is one of the most popular models not only in Russia, but all over the world. And this is not surprising, because the girl has such pretty features that porcelain dolls can be created in her image.

This charming angel is only 12 years old. Christina's parents are football player Ruslan Pimenov and housewife Glikeria Pimenova. It was the mother who brought a four-year-old child into the modeling business, sending her child's portfolio to a children's advertising agency. Initially, the photos of the girl made even the most experienced experts doubt: at first glance, it seems that her puppet appearance is the hard work of make-up artists or the result of Photoshop. All doubts of the agents were dispelled immediately after a personal acquaintance with little Pimenova: the beauty of the Russian young model caused a pleasant shock among the sharks of the beauty industry.

From that moment on, Christina's career causes white envy even among experienced models and fashion models with ten years of experience. Her success was consolidated after collaboration with world famous fashion houses: Roberto Cavalli, Armani, Dolce & Gabbana. Moreover, Christina's photos have been featured on the covers of VOGUE children and ELLE kids magazines several times.

Lanea Grace, USA

Just like Christina, thirteen-year-old Lanea gained popularity thanks to her mother's perseverance. Ariel Stevenson constantly brought her daughter to advertising auditions.

The first success happened at the age of three. At the next casting, the photographer paid special attention to the unusual appearance of the young model and asked a clarifying question to the mother: “What is the nationality of your child? I can not understand". As it turned out, Lanea has European, Spanish and Filipino roots, and her appearance is the result of mixing the blood of one of the most beautiful peoples in the world.

The first photo session brought the girl a rather enviable reputation: experienced fashion experts called her the child with the most beautiful eyes in the world. It was the bewitching look that interested PR managers of famous brands. Today, the young model collaborates with the following agencies: JE Model Management Kids, The Osbrink Agency, Wilhelmin.

William Franklin-Miller, Australia

Thousands of girls around the world are in love with this thirteen-year-old boy. It cannot be otherwise, since William is unofficially recognized as the most beautiful boy in the world, despite the fact that he did not fight for such a status at all.

Popularity came to him absolutely by accident: a Japanese blogger posted a photo of the then eight-year-old boy on Twitter. This post has collected a lot of views and reached the fashion experts. Beauty gurus appreciated the beauty of the young guy, and he became a model just a couple of months after the publication of the post on the social network.

Today, William devotes all his free time to studying, friends and, of course, filming. He has already managed to become the face of several companies, as well as appear in commercials for Harrods department store and two TV series.
