BROOKLYN DECKER

When she was at the mall, Brooklyn Decker was spotted by a scout. In 2003, she won the Model of the Year award. She moved to New York to take her modeling career more seriously and later appeared in the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition. Over the years, she has appeared in fashion magazines such as Glamour, Cosmopolitan, and Teen Vogue. Modeling aside, she has tried her hand in acting as well. You saw her in The Devil Wears Prada, although you will not find her in the credits. She earned a bigger role in Lipshitz Saves the World and made guest appearances in TV shows such as Ugly Betty, Chuck, and Royal Pains. While most people do not know her as an actress, she did gain a bunch of fans thanks to her stint in Swimsuit Illustrated.

CARA DELEVINGNE

This English model saw success on the catwalk before she started acting. Cara Delevingne has a sister called Poppy, who did modeling work first. While she was not an instant success, things changed for her when Christopher Bailey spotted her and offered her to work on the 2011 Burberry campaign. She had already done nine fashion shows by 2012. This was only the start of her career as she later made the transition to acting. Her first movie is none other than Anna Karenina, while she debuted on the small screen with Playhouse Presents. She was also in Paper Towns, Reincarnation, and The Face of an Angel. She dipped her toes into music as well, but she did not take it further as her handler told her that she would need to use a different name.
