Top 20 Sexiest Models

MDC"s Top Twenty Sexiest Models ranking is designed to highlight those fresh, approachable beauties that fuel millions of dreams for clients like Victoria's Secret, Eres, H&M lingerie/swimwear and Sports Illustrated.

We have asked our panel to measure the girl's visibility and impact (or potential impact) on that market in the last year and coming year. Based on a list of 50 models submitted by MDC's Top 10 Agencies, the panel scored each model based on her client list and market impact. Subsequently we tallied the Top 20 based on the total score of each model.

Add Isabeli's current 4-pac of blue chip fashion campaigns for FW 08 and the renowned Pirelli Calendar twice. A model so gorgeous and sexy, she can go from high editorial to mass market and back to high editorial without blinking. This is the ideal dream of what modeling is all about, as any client, manager or model will testify. No wonder she's one of our top sexiest models.

Everything that spells big money has come flooding Doutzen's way in the recent years of her career. Fragrance? Check, via the Calvin Klein Eternity fragrance. Make-up? That would be the L'Oréal contract and then there is the recent pièce de résistance... that V/S contract for La Doutzen complete with Angel wings. That's the power of beauty for you.

This beauty found down under has found her way up. That is, up to the top to garner status as one of the most recognized Victoria's Secret Angels. The sexy Australian has come a long way since winning a model competition in 1997 at the young age of 13.

Viva La Gisele. She of the cascading hair, the shimmering skin, the impossible body and the effervescent personality. Still rocking every magazine cover in sight, from GQ to V and Arena. Still clocking the massive bucks that sends the wags wagging in amazement, Gisele truly looms as THE last supermodel of our era. She is a Brazilian national hero for a reason.

Hailing from Bahia Brazil, this smoldering beauty is a major double threat with big bonanza contracts for Maybelline, Victoria's Secret. Her unique beauty, the kind you could only dream to find in Brazil has created for her a singular career. No other girl even vaguely looks like this, glows like that and moves the units like that. Beyond rare!
