FROM Gisele Bundchen to Heidi Klum, sexy US lingerie company Victoria’s Secret has a history of signing up the hottest models.
Their latest clothes horse is Brazilian beauty Izabel Goulart.
The sexy swimwear-sporting supermodel even boasts about how Brazilian babes like to show themselves off.
She told Arena Magazine: “Brazilian girls find it easier modelling lingerie and bathing suits because we’re more comfortable with our bodies.”
But who is the sexiest Victoria’s Secret model ever?

Football superstar Cristiano Ronaldo turned down Paris Hilton after she made a play for him at a Hollywood nightclub, MailOnline has learned.
The Manchester United striker - currently in LA on an undisclosed business trip - arrived at trendy hotspot Villa in the early hours of Wednesday morning.
A source said: ‘Paris was all over him. The moment he arrived, she went over to his private table.
‘At one point, she pushed her chest together and made a point of trying to snuggle up against him.
‘But Ronaldo clearly wasn’t interested in Paris. He turned his back on her.’
According to reports, the 23-year-old Portugese star is a single man after splitting from model Nereida Gallardo, 25.
And heiress Paris, clad in a peach-coloured dress, was clearly impressed by his charms.
The onlooker added: ‘Every girl in the club was checking him out but Paris couldn’t take her eyes off him.
‘You could tell he enjoyed the attention but he didn’t really want anything to do with any of the girls.
‘He just sipped vodka soda in the corner of the club with his friends.’
Flanked by four or five male friends, Ronaldo arrived hobbled in on crutches just after 11.30pm.
Earlier, he had enjoyed a business dinner with around nine associates at Hollywood steak restaurant STK.
A fellow diner said: ‘He is obviously in LA on business.
‘He looked very serious over dinner and spent the entire time talking to the men in suits.’
The onlooker added that Ronaldo is being accompanied by a glamorous female assistant, who is apparently helping him recuperate from injury.

KATE MOSS has denied her career is motivated by money - insisting she has not stayed in the modelling business for the multi-million dollar contracts.
The British beauty has a number of lucrative deals with companies including fashion house Yves Saint Laurent and cosmetics giant Rimmel.
She also designs fashion collections for British high street chain Topshop.
But Moss is adamant that she still enjoys life as a model - because she loves being in front of the camera.
She says, “‘I like making money, but I don’t call people up every day to see how much I’ve made. As long as I have what I need at the time; I mean, I can buy the house that I want. I am not completely money-oriented.
“I still enjoy modelling, and it inspires me for the other things as well. All that dressing up makes me say, ‘What do I want to wear?’ and, ‘What do I want to do with Topshop?’ It all kind of leads into the other things.”

Formula One playboy Flavio Briatore has dated a string of models in his time - including Naomi Campbell and Heidi Klum - and his latest companion is no exception.
The 58-year-old lapped the attention from his new wife, Italian Wonderbra model Elisabetta Gregoraci, during a romantic getaway in Sardinia yesterday.
The multi-millionaire, who’s rather rotund physique clearly hasn’t diminished his abililty to attract women, hit the beach with the bikini clad brunette before retiring to his luxury boat for some sun and affection.
Briatore married Gregoraci, who at 28 is 30 years his junior, in Rome last month at a 12th-century basilica near the Vatican.
Before the nuptials, Flavio was quoted as saying: ‘I’m as excited as if a grand prix race was starting.’
The bride wore a succession of Roberto Cavalli-designed gowns throughout the day, including a strapless ivory sheath, complete with a seven-metre tulle veil.
F1 supremo Bernie Ecclestone was one of the more than 300 guests, along with Benetton group chairman Luciano Benetton and Italian prime minister Silvio Berlusconi.
Racing champion Fernando Alonso was put in charge of chauffeuring the newlyweds to their reception at the Castello di Torcrescenza, just north of Rome.

Kate Moss has spoken out about her role as a mother in a rare interview.
The supermodel, who also appears on the cover of this month’s US Vogue, told the magazine: “I’m a mum. All the time. Every day. I put my daughter to bed.”
Although she takes looking after her daughter seriously Kate still claims to act like a teenager: ‘I am still acting like a seventeen-year-old. I definitely haven’t become middle-aged,” she told vogue.
“I’ve got a house and a daughter and all that, but I still like to have fun. Even in my business we still have fun,” Kate added.
She may have fun in business but Kate is one of the most successful supermodels in the world and certainly knows how to boost her bank balance.
“I like making money,” she adds. “But I don’t call people up every day to see how much I’ve made. As long as I have what I need at the time; I mean, I can buy the house that I want. I am not completely money-oriented”
Kate is looking rather prim and proper on the cover of Vogue’s Ageless August issue which was shot by Mario Testino.

What would Kate Moss be doing flouncing into the exclusive New York store Petit Tresor and demanding that they close so that she can shop in private? Well, she’d be acting like a spoilt little bitch as usual. Unfortunately her privacy seems to have been severely ruptured by someone in the shop as they have revealed what she bought on her trip.
A few items of baby clothes. Oh, don’t worry about that, she’s probably just picking up some items for a friend with a newborn baby, after all.
Oh, and she also bought a large tub of Belli Pregnancy Cream, which apparently doesn’t do what it says on the tin and get you pregnant, though it is used to combat stretch marks.
Maybe she’ll just be using it on the ones around her mouth or maybe she actually is pregnant (unless it’s a present for Pete Doherty and his fat little ‘heroin’ belly?).
Kate has been pictured looking a little heavy around the midriff recently, though to be fair she could just have swallowed a grape whole to give that impression.

File this one under freaky and weird. Pete Doherty is trying his darnedest to win back supermodel Kate Moss. Ever since it has been rumored that her relationship with Kills frontman Jamie Hince, 39, Kate and Pete have been texting up a storm.
Instead of a nice bouquet of flowers, Pete has decided that jewelry is the best way to win back her affections. But if you thought he’d just hop on down to the local jewelers and pick out a nice sparkler, you’d be wrong. Pete,, 29, is going above and beyond, having a piece specially commissioned for Kate 34. And it’s no ordinary ring either - it’ll be made from the ashes of his dead cat Shelley, who was a Kate’s favorite cat when they were dating last year.
Pete has commissioned the piece from the US-based company LifeGem, and according to insiders, Pete is planning to give it to Kate. He’s hoping that it will help him win her back.
Kate is rumored to have dumped Jamie Hince because eh was spending too much time with bandmate Alison Mosshart.

Kate Moss covered up that bikini body in a few designer dresses, looking more like a businesswoman and less like a wild child on the August cover of Vogue. In the article, Kate showcases both her mature and youthful sides, talking about her reputation and her impact on the many aspects of the fashion industry. Here are highlights:
* On her party girl lifestyle:”I am still acting like a seventeen-year-old. I definitely haven’t become middle-aged. I’ve got a house and a daughter and all that, but I still like to have fun. Even in my business we still have fun.”
* On being a designer versus being a model: “I still enjoy modeling, and it inspires me for the other things as well. All that dressing up makes me say, ‘What do I want to wear?’ and, ‘What do I want to do with Topshop?’ It all kind of leads into the other things.”
* On being a businesswoman: “I like making money, but I don’t call people up every day to see how much I’ve made. As long as I have what I need at the time; I mean, I can buy the house that I want. I am not completely money-oriented.”
To see what else Kate had to say about being a mom and designer, just read more.
* On motherhood: “I’m a mum. All the time. Every day. I put my daughter to bed.”
* On designing her own line for Topshop: “I would see things that I wore sometimes that designers had copied. So I thought, ‘Listen, I could do that.’”
Sounds like Kate wants to make it clear that she’s more than just a supermodel, and we look forward to watching her set the trends for the fashion industry for years to come.

Supermodel Naomi Campbell stripped down to her birthday suit for an Italian Vogue photo shoot. I like the photo though, no tackiness involved.
July 16th, 2008
Even after walking the catwalk for more than two decades, British supermodel Naomi Campbell refused to retire for the simple reason that there are not enough black models to replace her.
Although most of her earlier colleagues such as Cindy Crawford and Christy Turlington bid adieu to the ramp a long time ago, Campbell continues to scorch the fashion industry and turn heads worldwide.
When Campbell was confronted with her plans about retirement, she was reported saying that she is extremely happy and right now, she is at the peak of her career. She also added that she feels extremely concerned about the girls who are going to come after her with the way they will be treated in the fashion world. She also said that it was out of her concern that she continues to work.
Campbell is believed to be the first black model who made it to the covers of popular French fashion magazines in her teenage years. She was even featured on the British and French editions of Vogue Magazine. Campbell reported that she is extremely disturbed by the trend where a large number of designers still prefer to use light-skinned models as compared to their darker-skinned counterparts.
In a bid to protest against this trend, the recent July edition of Vogue used only black models throughout the pages in order to address this problem and highlight the severity of the situation. During the interview, Campbell candidly held the magazine close to her, and remarked that the event was “history-making” and “something that she is going to cherish forever.” Apart from Campbell, other black models who were featured in the magazine included Tyra Banks, Iman and other black actors and singers.
