Supermodel - Carla Bruni

This Italian model with her chiseled cheekbones, feline like eyes and pouty lips was a must have to all the top fashion designers. She began her modelling career in 1987 and by the 1990's, she became one of the top 20 highest paid models.

In 1997, Carla quit the world of fashion to dedicate her life to her music. She has released 3 albums in total and in my opinion, her music is truly beautiful. She did well here!

After a string of very public relationships (Mick Jagger, Vincent Perez and Eric Clapton to name a few), life changed in 2008 when Carla married French President Nicolas Sarkozy.

In October last year Carla gave birth to her first child, baby girl Giulia.

Today apart form being mum and being France's First Lady, she is involved in a number of charities and started her own Foundation Carla Bruni-Sarkozy to promote awareness of the protection of mothers and children against HIV.

Supermodel - Niki Taylor

Known as the all American sweetheart of modelling, she first appeared on the cover of Seventeen magazine at the age of 14 and followed that with a Vogue cover at the young age of 15!

Whilst she appeared in the pages of all the leading magazine's and walking the designer runways, she is probably most famously known for her work with Sports Illustrated.

Niki's life has faced quite a few tragedies. 

Firstly in 1995, Niki's sister Krissy died of an asthma attack. I still remember hearing on Entertainment Tonight the chilling 911 phone call that Niki made when she found her sister.

 

Then in 2001, Niki was involved in a serious car accident that left her in critical condition. 

Her internal injuries were so severe she had 56 operations and intense physical therapy.

Niki married her first husband linebacker Matt Martinez in 1994 and they had twin sons Jake and Hunter. Following their divorce less than 2 years later, Niki started a relationship with Keith Urban. 

However in 2004 they split.

Happily in 2006 married Nascar driver Burney Lamar. They have 2 children together, daughter 3 year old Ciel Taylor Lamar and last year another son, Rex Harrison Lamar.

This year Niki will be hosting her own TV show "Having It All"

I think Niki still looks amazing, as fresh faced as that young model who was on Seventeen magazine. She's overcome her life challenges and still looks super beautiful.

Supermodel - Nadja Auermann

Maybe this one should be called legs! 

That's what she was really known for because her legs that went on forever. 

A NY columnist once described the German model as "ice maiden visage and pole vaulter's legs".

I remember her as a model who photographed so beautifully.

In 1997 she welcomed her first child, a daughter Cosima. Two years later she married German actor Wolfram Grandezka and in the same year had her son Nicolas. The couple divorced a few years later.

However Nadja has been in the news in recent years regarding her tax evasion with husband Wolfram.
