Each step they took earned them millions, each glance made the world move in the direction they indicated, every outfit they wore was a sensation. They were, are, and will always be goddesses of beauty, some with eternal relevance. They are the greatest models in history.

Twiggy

She had flamingo legs, eyelashes like radio antennas, and a face that always seemed surprised. And yet, she conquered London and the '60s as if she were born to pose in Technicolor.

Beverly Johnson

Before Photoshop, contouring, and empowerment hashtags, there was Beverly. With feline elegance and a gaze that rewrote magazine covers, she became the first black woman on Vogue US. In the 70s, her beauty shattered more ceilings than heels.

Iman

Iman didn't just enter the world of fashion. She redefined it. Somali, elegant even at customs, she wasn’t just a muse: she was an empress. She didn’t just walk; she challenged. And she did it in vertiginous heels.

Naomi Campbell

Naomi wasn’t born; she was sculpted. Her walk was an act of war against mediocrity. Supermodel, scandal on legs, and owner of the most famous expression after the Mona Lisa.

Cindy Crawford

Who needs Photoshop when you have a mole that generates contracts? Cindy had that gift: being the most American of models, yet with something dangerously European in her gaze.

Kate Moss

If models were goddesses, Kate was their heretic. Small, pale, curveless, smileless, she turned disinterest into art. Where others sought likes, she smoked. And always got paid first.

Gisele Bündchen

A Brazilian whirlwind with samba legs and German discipline. Gisele didn’t walk: she stormed through. Wherever she stepped, contracts blossomed. And Victoria’s Secret became a religion.

Linda Evangelista

Linda wouldn’t get out of bed for less than ten thousand dollars. And the world accepted it with gratitude. She was more than a model: she was a character. A diva who understood the business better than her agents.

Claudia Schiffer

She was the German answer to Barbie, but with less plastic and more Vogue. Claudia seemed to be the result of a genetic laboratory dedicated to perfecting the concept of “perfection.” And it worked equally well on covers and catwalks.

Tyra Banks

Eternal supermodels, Beverly Johnson, Naomi Campbell, Cindy Crawford, Kate Moss, Gisele Bündchen, Linda Evangelista, Claudia Schiffer, Tyra Banks, Adriana Lima, Bella Hadid, Cara Delevingne, Shalom Harlow

Tyra smiled, taught, directed, and reigned. She was the model who also spoke. And she spoke well. Her legacy is not only in photos: it's in every reality show where someone says “strike a strong pose.”

Adriana Lima

Eternal supermodels, Beverly Johnson, Naomi Campbell, Cindy Crawford, Kate Moss, Gisele Bündchen, Linda Evangelista, Claudia Schiffer, Tyra Banks, Adriana Lima, Bella Hadid, Cara Delevingne, Shalom Harlow

She had the gaze of a Greek tragedy and the body of a Carioca goddess. Adriana was the angel who didn’t need wings. And yet, Victoria’s Secret gave her a pair. Just in case there were any doubts.

Bella Hadid

Bella is surgical precision with Wi-Fi. Each angle studied, every expression programmed. The result: a digital sculpture that walks in haute couture and posts as if born in an editing studio.

Cara Delevingne

Eternal supermodels, Beverly Johnson, Naomi Campbell, Cindy Crawford, Kate Moss, Gisele Bündchen, Linda Evangelista, Claudia Schiffer, Tyra Banks, Adriana Lima, Bella Hadid, Cara Delevingne, Shalom Harlow

Cara brought eyebrows to a tweezer war. Unconventional, androgynous, loud, irreverent. She was the model who made faces during photo shoots and then effortlessly closed luxury campaigns.

Shalom Harlow

She was painted live by robots and yet managed to make us look only at her face. Shalom was both experiment and muse, flesh and performance. Her runway was an art installation, no permission asked.
