Due to the great importance of advertising in the modern world, beautiful people of model appearance are present in almost all spheres of media life: on television, on the Internet, depicted on ordinary household products as advertising. Famous Top Models look at us from the covers of magazines, billboards, and numerous commercials.
Modeling has firmly taken one of the leading places among the successful and highest-paid professions of our time.
Experts identify the following basic criteria for the profession:
- Career growth. It is impossible to call a model someone who appeared once in an advertisement or on the cover and disappeared forever from view.
- Receiving a profit from working in the modeling industry.
- Public recognition— interest in personality, interviews, shooting for glossy magazines.

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 there were models in the 80s, and in the 60s, and even at the beginning of the last century! And many left their mark on history! This 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
Back then, back in the 1900s, there weren’t that 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 not only his wife, but also his muse and model. All Parisian fashionistas tried to replicate her images. And in the 1910s, Denise etched her name in history as the first model to take part in a fashion show.
Twiggy - the calling card of the 60s
Since the mid-twentieth century, there have been more and more famous models. One of the most recognizable was Lesley 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 the beauty salon owned by him.
A journalist from the Daily Express accidentally saw Twiggy's photo. This changed the girl's life. She was the cover face of Tatler and Vogue, played in 18 films, received two Golden Globes and became a style icon. Most historians call Leslie Hornby the first supermodel. By the way, in the mid-60s, “Twiggy syndrome” even 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 67 years old, Twiggy is still slim and attractive for her age.
Seventies
This is a real era, to which several famous world models belong. Two in particular.
Jerry Fay Hall is an American model who, at the age of 16, decided to move to a completely foreign and unfamiliar Paris. Together with the equally young and ambitious Jessica Phyllis Lang 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 had appeared on the covers of the cult magazine Vogue more than 40 times. By the way, in the 70s the model became notorious - she posed completely naked for an advertisement for the Opium perfume from Yves Saint Laurent.
The second model of the 70s is Vera von Lehndorff-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. Having started 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 right in the 70s. But in 1975, she quarreled with the editor-in-chief of Vogue, after which she left the fashion world forever. However, even now, at 78 years old, Veruschka participates in the fashion show as a guest star.
Up to the 90s
Continuing to list the most famous models, it is worth noting Yasmine Le Bon (photo above). She was born in Oxford, the daughter of an English mother and an Iraqi father. She began her career while still in 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 just as attractive as in the 80s.
Another star of that period was Australian Elle Macpherson. This girl became known for her record six appearances on the cover of such an elite publication as Sports Illustrated Swimsuit.
One cannot fail to mention the Somali model Iman Mohamed Abdulmajid. She is as famous as David Bowie's widow. Famous photographers have worked with Iman, including Annie Leibovitz, Helmut Newton and Richard Avedon.
"Model" era
Perhaps this is how we can call the nineties. Many girls who performed in the fashion show 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 magazine covers. Moreover, this figure is recorded in the Guinness Book of Records. She started her career in 1988 and quickly became successful. At her peak, Claudia was the highest paid model in the world, earning over $50,000 per night.
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. Linda also became the first supermodel to be offered huge sums for simply appearing at any event. It was she who said the famous phrase, which was later quoted in all media: “I won’t get out of bed for less than $10,000.”
Cynthia Ann Crawford. The now famous actress and model was accidentally noticed 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 appeared on the covers of 600 magazines around the world, including ELLE, People, Vogue, and Cosmopolitan. By the way, in 1997 she became the second most beautiful woman in the world after Demi Moore out of 4,000 contenders.
Other big names
There were really a lot of famous models in the 90s. It is difficult to talk about all of them in detail. But a few names are still worth mentioning.
Naomi Campbell. The British model of Afro-Jamaican descent has been working on catwalks since she was 15 years old. It was Naomi who became the first black girl to appear on the covers of Time and Vogue.
Tyra Lynn Banks. The Inglewood girl also started at age 15. Two years later, she moved to Paris - she was invited to perform in catwalk shows. In the very first week, Tyra created a real sensation - the girl was offered cooperation by 25 designers at once!
Kate Moss. This blonde Brit is not just a famous model. In the late 90s - early 2000s, she was the highest paid representative of this profession in the world. Although they noticed her by accident - at Kennedy Airport when she was 14 years old.
Nadja Auermann. German blonde diva and owner of the world's longest legs according to the Guinness Book of Records (from 1997 to 1999). She reaches 112 cm. And you can estimate them from the picture presented above.
Gisele Bündchen. One of the most famous models in the world. And the richest to date. Having started her career in the 90s, Gisele continues to build it to this day. As a Victoria's Secret "angel", she no longer appears on the catwalks, but she poses for famous magazines.

Modeling is a money-making and very controversial industry. For many girls and boys, participation in fashion shows and glossy covers is the ultimate dream and a real modern Olympus of fame. Beauty has long been glorified in popular culture, but its standards change every now and then. The age limits of participants in fashion photo shoots are also shifting. Sometimes the youngest models become the objects of heated debates and debates on the topic of hypersexualization of children and the boundaries of what is appropriate or permissible. Here is an example of 8 successful models, whose photographs will delight some, but may offend others.
1. Kristina Pimenova, 11 years old
In 2014, the Russian beauty Kristina Pimenova became the world's youngest supermodel. Photo shoots and gloss have been familiar to girls since the tender age of 8, and now the young beauty is already 11 years old, and her career is only going uphill.
Christina was first awarded the title of “the most beautiful girl in the world” by the prestigious Women Daily Magazine, and since then this title has not left her. Judging by her Facebook page, Pimenova has been posing since she was 3 years old, does gymnastics and loves to travel. The girl’s page has already received over 4 million likes! The child’s impressive track record includes participation in shows for children’s clothing lines of such world-famous brands as Fendi and Roberto Cavalli, and photo shoots for Vogue Bambini and FYI magazines. Christina wears only children's clothes and very rarely uses makeup during filming.
2. Thylane Lena-Rose Blondeau, 15 years old
Thylane is now already 15 years old, but in this photo the girl was only 11. When the world community first saw the young Blondeau on the pages of the famous Vogue magazine, she was only 10 years old, and then she was recognized as one of the most beautiful girls in the world. At that time, the little girl already had experience of participating in the show of the famous French fashion designer Jean Paul Gaultier.
The daughter of French football player Patrick Blondeau and TV presenter Veronika Loubry, Thylane began her career as a fashion model at the age of 5, but it was her shooting for Vogue magazine in 2011 that brought her worldwide fame. The girl became one of the youngest models ever to appear on the pages of this fashion publication, and immediately attracted public attention. Many criticized this photo shoot, considering the model too small for such a sexy image.
Now 15 years old, Thylane is represented by IMG Models, which also boasts contracts with sisters Gigi and Bella Hadid and Cindy Crawford's daughter, Kaia Gerber.
3. Momoka Kurita, 13 years old
Momoka Kurita made her mark during Japan's 2016 Grand Motocross event, where she played the role of "race queen." Grown men showered the girl with compliments for her stunning appearance, but few of them suspected that in front of them was a 12-year-old child and an ordinary schoolgirl.
The girl’s appearance at the 48th MFJ Grand Prix Cup Championship was not only a successful start to her modeling career, but also provoked a lot of controversy about the appropriate age for this industry. Many argue that dressing a 12-year-old in sexy outfits and using Momoka at adult events is completely inappropriate. Opponents of the schoolgirl’s participation in photo shoots and entertainment programs for athletes and guests of the show accuse the child’s parents of negligence, but the model herself claims that no one forced her to do anything, and her family simply supports their child’s dreams.
After participating in a motorcycle show, the young beauty received many lucrative job offers from prestigious companies, but for now she is trying to combine school studies, rare photo shoots, ballet classes and somehow also finds time for her favorite hobbies (playing the piano, guitar, gymnastics). Momoka has a very busy schedule, and this also caused a flurry of criticism - strangers decided that the girl was missing out on her childhood.
4. Alexandra Vasic, 14 years old
Despite her young age, in 2006, 14-year-old Sasha became the youngest model to ever walk the catwalk at the annual London Fashion Week. The girl was noticed by Zandra Rhodes, a world famous fashion designer. An eccentric 65-year-old fashion and design trendsetter, Rhodes added Alexandra to her modeling roster when she was 13, just weeks before launching her first UK fashion show in 20 years.
5. 9-year-old girl from the cover of Haven magazine
In 2014, a very young girl appeared on the cover of the Australian family shopping magazine Haven magazine, for which the public immediately attacked the editors of the publication, accusing those responsible of hypersexualizing the child. At the photo shoot, the girl is dressed in a two-piece circus costume, her hair is tousled, and she is holding a transparent ball in her hands.
Critics were worried that the child was presented in an overly sexual image that was completely inappropriate for the model’s age. The owner of the magazine, Keely O'Connor, said that he was proud of this photo, and that none of the 8 members of the team that worked on creating the cover put any subtexts or controversial hints into the image of the circus performer.
6. Lottie Moss, 19 years old
Lottie Moss or Charlotte is the younger sister of the famous supermodel Kate Moss. The girl is much younger than her legendary relative, but has already managed to attract the attention of major agencies and has been successfully climbing the modeling career ladder for several years. At the age of 13, she took part in a test shoot for Storm Management, an agency that helped her begin her professional journey in the modeling industry. The tryout was organized by Lottie's parents and Storm Management owner Sarah Doukas. In 1988, the same woman discovered Kate Moss herself to the world of beauty, noticing her at the International Airport. John F. Kennedy International Airport as the Moss family returned home from a vacation in the Bahamas.
Lottie's first official photo shoot appeared on the pages of Teen Vogue magazine, where the 16-year-old beauty was dressed in a chic red and white striped sweater and red jacket. Her first full-fledged publication soon followed in the youth magazine Dazed & Confused.
7. Kaia Gerber, 15 years old
Supermodel Cindy Crawford is the mother of a truly photogenic girl who has all the makings to become as successful and famous a diva as Cindy herself once was. Today, Kaia managed to sign a contract with the prestigious Marc Jacobs Beauty company and became its face.
Kaia Gerber got into the modeling industry when she was only 10 years old, and at 13 she became a model for the French agency IMG Models, beating her mother to this by 3 years. Cindy was 16 when she signed her contract with IMG. Kaia's first major show took place during the presentation of a new collection of clothes for children from the famous fashion house Versace. The girl is now 15 years old and recently won Model of the Year at the Front Row Awards.
8. Eva Ionesco was only 11 years old when she was featured in Playboy magazine
Eva Ionesco was born on July 16, 1965 in the family of a Frenchwoman of Romanian origin, Irina Ionesco, a professional photographer of the mid-20th century. Eva became a successful actress and model, but her career began in the 1970s with erotic photographs, which are still the subject of heated controversy. In addition to her mother, Eva was also photographed by other famous photographers, for example, Jacques Bourboulon.
To date, Ionesco is the youngest model to ever appear on the cover of Playboy, an adult magazine. The publication with a naked child was published in October 1976 in the Italian version of the magazine, and the shooting was directed by the same Jacques Bourboulon. The following photographs of naked Eva appeared in November 1978 in the Spanish version of Penthouse magazine, which included photographs taken by her mother. In addition, the girl was also on the cover of the German weekly Der Spiegel.
In 2012, at the age of 47, Eva sued her mother for pornographic child photo shoots. Most of the plaintiff's claims were rejected, but the woman still received partial compensation.
