Candice Swanepoel

As much as celebrities love simple triangle bikinis and strapless bandeaus, some also choose ruffle bikinis when they want to look extra feminine. Victoria's Secret model Candice Swanepoel was spotted wearing a striped ruffle triangle bikini with a gold body chain in Miami, while Whitney Port sported a strapless ruffle bikini during a Hawaiian vacation. What's great about ruffle bikinis is that they come in many varieties: strapless, triangle, halter, printed, etc. And you can choose the degree of girlie; the more ruffles the sweeter the look. To get the look, shop our favorite ruffle bikinis below!

Based on her earnings of $45 million from May 2011 to May 2012, Gisele Bundchen is on top of Forbes's annual list of the world's highest-paid supermodels for the sixth year in a row. The other nine women on the list made a combined $53 million.

But the entire collection of well-paid catwalkers — which includes a few of Bundchen's sisters in the Victoria's Secret Angel sorority, like Alessandra Ambrosio and Doutzen Kroes — mark a paradigm shift in the way models look today. "The top girls now represent a return to a true representation of beauty, not the odd beauty or a fashion-diverted version of beauty," said DNA Models chairman David Bonnouvrier. (DNA represents Kroes, Ambrosio, and Natalia Vodianova, who is also on the list.)

Bundchen may be the highest-earning supermodel in the world, but she's not yet the richest. That distinction belongs to former Sports Illustrated model Kathy Ireland, whose retail empire sells an estimated $2 billion in products a year. A breakdown of who might be creeping up on Ireland's territory someday, and what they made over the past year, below.

• Gisele Bundchen — $45 million
• Kate Moss — $9.2 million
• Natalia Vodianova — $8.6 million
• Adriana Lima — $7.3 million
• Doutzen Kroes — $6.9 million
• Alessandra Ambrosio — $6.6 million
• Miranda Kerr — $4 million
• Lara Stone — $3.8 million
• Carolyn Murphy — $3.5 million
• Candice Swanepoel — $3.1 million
