NAOMI CAMPBELL

There is no way that the world will forget Naomi Campbell. After all, she is one of the most successful and bankable supermodels in the history of fashion. Her career was at its peak in the ‘80s and ‘90s. She was discovered by Synchro Model Agency’s Beth Boldt while she was window shopping back in the day. Before she even turned 16 years old, she had already posed for Elle UK. She was among the first supermodels ever with the likes of Kate Moss, Claudia Schiffer, and Linda Evangelista. Modeling is not her only line of work as she has also dabbled in acting and music. Among other things, she was in I Feel Pretty, American Horror Story, Empire, and Zoolander.

GAL GADOT

At the moment, most people know Gal Gadot as the latest actress to bring Wonder Woman to life. Before she got this big break, she was a model first. She participated in various beauty pageants, which must have been easy for someone with her beauty and grace. In 2004, she even joined Miss Universe. She went on to launch a modeling career after this. She also earned a degree, after which she started to take acting seriously. While she did not land the Bond Girl role in Quantum of Solace, she did gain a following after appearing in the Fast and Furious series. She was also in Date Night and Knight & Day. It is interesting to note that she has martial arts training, which must have come in handy when she was cast to play the most famous superheroine in the world.
