Fab Face: Vlada Roslyakova

April 15, 2008

You may not be able to pronounce her Russian last name, but it's to your benefit to memorize Vlada Roslyakova's face because you'll be seeing it around for a long time.

She was born July 8, 1987 as Elena Roslyakova, but she changed her name to Vlada so that she wouldn't be confused with fellow model Elena Rosenkova.

Though formerly working in Asia, Vlada became world famous in 2005 when she started booking jobs for Moschino Cheap & Chic, Calvin Klein, and Nina Ricci. What sets her apart is her unique walk — she tends to lean back — and her baggy blue eyes. Vlada is beautiful, but her fair skin and moody eyes keep her from being typical. And you know Fab is all about the atypical!

I was born with bags like that under my eyes, too. They can't be removed without surgery, so please - think before posting abuse. She deserves a lot better. x

She's very cute, and it's not fair for everyone to make such a big deal about her looking a little tired in one of the pictures.

is it just me or do most of these model girls look the same nowadays. she's cute though but i think only her eyes stand out. aside from her eyes, she's average looking (but then again i'm around pretty girls all the time so my idea of average looking might be different than the mainstream idea)
