Fab Face: Sean O'Pry

FabSugar — Wed, 22 Jul 2009 03:50:22 -0700

Meet Sean O'Pry. Oh, boy. Not only does he have an inhumanly stunning face, he has been named The World's Most Successful Male Model by Forbes Magazine. And, he's just 19. In 2006, his MySpace photo caught the attention of Lana Winters, owner VNY Models, who phoned Sean's mother to get her permission to fly him to NYC. It took only three days before he landed a major ad campaign. "He came here with a little suitcase, not knowing what to expect and basically became a star overnight," says Winters. "I've been in this business for a very, very long time and I've never seen anybody get such a response," she said. I can see why.

Model Muse: Daria Werbowy

Models have a pretty face and killer bod - it's part of the job. But when they also have enviable personal style, it's a bonus. Daria is one of those lovelies I want to see both off- and on-duty because she looks just as cool on the streets as she does on the catwalk. She's effortless, both in beauty and in taste; that's what makes her one of my new-school model muses. Though she's considered Canadian, Daria was actually born in Poland in 1983. She's Ukrainian by ethnicity and even has Ukrainian citizenship. She won a national modeling contest at the age of 14, and now she's on top, with the title of ninth highest-earning model in 2008 according to Forbes. Despite all the competition she has, I'll never grow tired of seeing her healthy glow, alluring eyes, and killer panache.

Fab Face: Daria Werbowy

FabSugar — Thu, 05 Jun 2008 05:00:22 -0700

Anyone who keeps tabs on the modeling world has surely heard of Daria Werbowy. If not, here's a little background on one of the hottest girls in model town. Daria was born in Krakow, Poland, but holds Ukranian citizenship. As if that's not enough geography in one person's life, the 24-year-old model was raised mostly in Canada. At the age of 14, Daria won a national modeling competition and later launched a full-fledged modeling career under IMG's management.

What makes Daria a unique gem is not only her painfully beautiful looks - those cat-like eyes - and her status as Forbes' ninth highest-earning model, but also her personal style. She's one who quite effortlessly mixes high and low designs and makes it look enviably cool. You'll rarely see Daria without leather, ripped jeans, and chunky jewels. Still, she has a womanly confidence, and quickly transforms into a supermodel with a blink of an eye.

Celebrity Style: Gisele Bundchen

FabSugar — Thu, 01 May 2008 13:00:08 -0700

It's Gisele's day today. First she tops Forbes' list of top-earning models of 2008 and now she graces us with her stylish and slim self. I admit that I've been semibored with her mostly grey, monotonous outfits lately, but her latest cas(ual) airport look makes me happy. It's travel friendly but not yawn-worthy. She could have worn ballet flats to make the look more femme, but the fact that she chose Chuck Taylors is refreshing. Next time I take a trip, you better believe I'm busting out my Converse!

L.A.M.B. Mod Stripe Tank - $105.00	Stretch Wool Boradcloth Blazer - $268.00
Converse Chuck Taylor All Star OX Low Sneaker - $44.00	RAY-BAN Wayfarer Sunglasses - $139.00
J Brand 912 Skinny - Ink- Ink - $158.00	Kooba Talia Leather Shoulder Bag - $625.00
Sterling Silver Marcasite Wide Band Ring - $19.99

Fab Flash: Gisele Tops List of High-Earning Models in 2008

FabSugar — Thu, 01 May 2008 11:00:08 -0700

Forbes' annual list of the world's top-earning models is out, and Gisele takes the top spot again this year.

She has accumulated $35 million (!) in the last 12 months from her former contract with Victoria's Secret, her ads for Versace, a lucrative deal with Max Factor, plus those popular sandals of hers; and that's just to name a few of the sources.

Heidi Klum trails behind in second place with $14 million in earnings, which is no surprise between Project Runway and her Victoria's Secret contract. But the real surprise - to me, anyway - is that Tyra isn't on the list.

1. Gisele Bundchen - $35 million
2. Heidi Klum - $14 million
3. Kate Moss - $7.5 million
4. Adriana Lima - $7 million
5. Doutzen Kroes - $6 million

6. Karolina Kurkova - $5 million
7. Natalia Vodianova - $4.8 million
8. Carolyn Murphy - $4.5 million
9. Daria Werbowy - $3.8 million
10. Miranda Kerr - $3.5 million
11. Isabeli Fontana - $3 million
11. Gemma Ward - $3 million
12. Selita Ebanks - $2.7 million
13. Valentina Zelyaeva - $2.3 million
14. Hilary Rhoda - $2 million
15. Liya Kebede - $1.5 million
