Natalia Vodianova



She's one of my favorite Supermodel, Natalia Vodianova, she was born on the 28th of February 1982 at Nizhny Novgorod, Russia. Entered a modelling academy at the age of 15, mastered the English language in three months and went to Paris when she was 17 years old and was signed up at VIVA Models. 






Vodianova has achieved considerable success as a runway, editorial and advertising campaign model. To date, Vodianova has walked in more than 175 runway shows for U.S. and European based designers' ready-to-wear and haute couture collections, has appeared in editorial spreads in fashion magazines worldwide and has completed advertising campaigns for Calvin KleinLouis VuittonYves Saint LaurentL'OréalDavid YurmanMarc JacobsPepe JeansDiane von FürstenbergChanel and others.

As of May 2009, Vodianova has appeared on the cover of British Vogue seven times; the first was the September 2003 issue. She made her first appearance on the cover of the U.S. Vogue in the September 2004 edition alongside eight other models, then appeared as the solo cover subject of the July 2007 edition of the magazine.[9] During this time period, other covers of the American Vogue have all featured non-model celebrities with only two other exceptions: models Linda Evangelista and Liya Kebede.


As an actress, Vodianova appears in Roman Coppola's 2001 film CQ.[10] In September 2008, Vodianova stated that she was not interested in filmmaking because of her three children; however, she appears in director Alexander Kott's 2009 film Probka. We'll see her beauty as an ugly Medussa in the film Clash of the Titans that will be shown in UAE on April 08.


In Spring 2009, Vodianova entered into a three-year agreement to be a brand ambassador for the French lingerie company Etam and will design a lingerie collection each season during the term of the agreement. The collections will be marketed under the brand Natalia pour Etam.

Vodianova was ranked 14th in the UK channel Five's 2005 television programme World's Greatest SupermodelForbes magazine estimates Vodianova earned $4.5 million (USD) between August 2006 and July 2007, $4.8 million (USD) between May 2007 and April 2008 and $5.5 million (USD) between June 2008 and June 2009, making her the seventh highest earning model worldwide during all three time periods.

In November 2001, Vodianova married Justin Trevor Berkeley Portman, a British property heir and half-brother of the 10th Viscount Portman. In September 2002, over nine months after registering the marriage in the UK, they had a wedding ceremony in St. Petersburg, where Vodianova wore a dress designed by Tom Ford. As the wife of The Honourable Justin Portman, which is a courtesy title, she is entitled to be styled The Honourable Mrs. Justin Portman. The couple have three children, Lucas Alexander, Neva and Viktor.
