8. Heidi Klum
Heidi first landed multiple Vogue covers in the mid-1990s. Like many of her colleagues, she appeared on the cover of “Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition” before joining VS for their third show ever in 1997. She hosted for the following years, including 2006, 2006, 2007, and 2008. She seamlessly transitioned to TV hosting gigs, and many of us remember her from “Project Runway.” Today, she’s a proud mother of four and is married to a man 16 years her junior.
9. Candice Swanepoel
This South African model started on a dairy farm in South Africa and worked for years as a solo model before working for VS. For Candice, the appeal was working with a group. In 2011, she officially earned her wings and a few years later in 2016, she became a mother. She returned to the runway just 8 months after giving birth. Today, she has her own swimwear line which aims to eradicate fast fashion.
10. Helena Christianson
One of the OG Victoria’s Secret models, Helena worked on the runway for major brands in the 1980s and 90s brands like Hermes and Prada before working as a Victoria’s Secret Angel in 1997. She then moved on from modeling to becoming an in-demand photographer and even launched a clothing line in 2006. Recently, she’s returned to the runway, walking for Balmain in 2020 and Off White in 2022 for Paris Fashion Week.
