1. Heidi Klum
How anyone can leave this girl is probably beyond comprehension, but it was exactly what her husband, the singer Seal, did. Klum was the first German to become an angel of Victoria’s Secret and she was a regular on its fashion shows for 13 years. She has also graced the cover of Sports Illustrated magazine’s swimsuit edition. She has also appeared in several films and television shows. Klum is the second richest model in the world.
2. Adriana Lima
Men took notice of Lima when she practically admitted that she was still a virgin in 2006 during an interview with GQ Magazine. She said that sex should only be done after marriage. Millions of guys around the world wanted to send in an application. Well, it’s too late now as she is married to Marko Jaric, a basketball player from Serbia with whom she has two kids. Lima first burst into the scene when she won the Supermodel of Brazil competition at the age of 15. She subsequently placed second in the Supermodel of the World contest the following year.
Ambrosio is a Brazilian model with Polish and Italian blood. She has appeared as a model for such brands as Ralph Lauren, Armani Exchange, Christian Dior and Next. She was the first spokesmodel of the lingerie giant’s PINK line. She has consistently grabbed the headlines during the annual fashion show due to a variety of reasons. In 2008, she appeared on the show despite having given birth just three months earlier. In 2011, she walked on the runway while wearing the heaviest wings ever made for the show at 30 pounds. And in 2012, she sported the show’s Fantasy Bra that was created by London Jewelers and encrusted with amethysts, rubies, sapphires and diamonds.
4. Candice Swanepoel
The angels of Victoria’s Secret aspire for two things while in the employ of the lingerie giant: to wear the fantasy bra during the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show and to be on the cover of the annual Swim catalog. Swanepoel has landed the cover gig three straight years from 2011 to 2013. She has fame and fortune, having landed on the sexiest and hottest list of FHM and Maxim, as well as the richest models list of Forbes magazine.
5. Kate Upton
The casting director of Victoria’s Secret said that including her in the fashion show is a no-brainer. Upton is probably more known for her appearance on the cover of Sports Illustrated magazine’s swimsuit edition, but she did once modeled for the lingerie company as well. Her male fans scrutinize anything she does.
