She’s made television appearances on Royal Pains and Ugly Betty, and now Brooklyn Decker’s continuing her entertainment takeover and giving you DVDs!

Along with Elle, the model created a series of videos about fitness and nutrition called Make Better, showing off the best workouts and lifestyle regimes. As the host, Brooklyn will take you to yoga, through a cardio workout, and even on Cirque de Soleil’s Jukari Fit to Fly trapeze. The three DVDs will sell on Amazon and HSN beginning December 8th. “Who wouldn’t want [Elle creative director] Joe Zee to style your products and have them worn by Brooklyn?” said Dianne Hayes, Reebok’s head of global entertainment marketing. The workouts range in length, perfect for the on-the-go schedule of a model. We’re pretty sure between Brooklyn’s DVDs and Anja Rubik’s Yoga for Wii, you’ll be set.

Hey Models of the Runway fans!

Finally, after months and months of waiting, the results of Project Runway and Models of the Runway were announced! The finale was filmed in February, and the results have been kept under wraps until now… and Irina is the winning designer and I am the winning model!

While Althea and Carol Hannah had strong collections, Irina certainly was deserving of the grand prize. Irina’s collection was so detailed and cohesive, and I loved the 13th look she had me wear on the runway.

Wow! I was so overwhelmed and excited to have the honor of being paired with the winning designer. Having my parents there during Fashion Week and to share in the excitement of winning was very meaningful to me. It was fun to relive the winning moment when I watched the show last night at a viewing party with Irina and several other Project Runway designers and models….so exciting!

Tanisha, Lisa, and I had our last “Heidi chat” on the runway, and she took us through some of the highlights of the first season of Models of the Runway. What a crazy, wonderful journey—we all enjoyed seeing the drama, laughter, joy, and tears throughout the competition. We were all proud of our designers and honored to be a part of such a fabulous show.

I am very excited to shoot the Marie Claire spread and to receive the $25,000 prize! So many new doors are already opening, and I hope to use this opportunity to take the next steps in my career, both in modeling and acting. A big thank you to Modelinia, and to all of the amazing fans and supporters!

auf Wiedersehen!
Kalyn

Editor’s Note: Congrats Kalyn! We’re so proud of you!

If there’s one magazine that could rival us in love for models, it’s i-D. For the Winter 2009 issue, the glossy is bestowing a generational-themed trio of covers: one featuring newbie Georgia May Jagger, another featuring It girl Lara Stone, and a third featuring a supermodel triumvirate of Eva Herzigova, Helena Christensen, and Claudia Schiffer.

Five models, three covers, one issue—leave it up to the supreme beings at i-D to come up with that awesome ratio.

Plus, if you’ve been missing Heather Marks as much as we have, check her out on the December cover of Elle Italia. We’re calling the look “Santa’s chic little helper,” which comes complete with blue suede thigh-highs, of course. ~ Tim Mitchell

After a long hard day, the Victoria’s Secret models earned their due party, as everyone traipsed from the Lexington Avenue Armory to M2 UltraLounge sponsored by Stoli Vodka and bing! for a night of dancing and celebration.

Walking into the party was a sensory overload, from the mass of people to the huge jumbotrons replaying the fashion show. Models were escorted through the center VIP section, walking on a platform to get to their designated section. Alessandra Ambrosio took on the bustier trend in Valentino, while Chanel Iman kept it flirty in Marc Jacobs. Candice Swanepoel chose an all-white Cushnie et Ochs, as Miranda Kerr went for the animal-print trend in Christian Dior, and Marisa Miller (among many) donned a tight Hervé Léger number. Behati Prinsloo stuck close to her adorable boyfriend, Jamie Strachan, and kept the understated glamour look that she does so well in a simple gray T-shirt dress with ruched sides. Selita Ebanks went for a gold look in Alexander Wang, snapping pics with her cell phone, while Lily Aldridge made an appearance, then took off downtown for the New Moon premiere after-party to meet up with Jessica Stam, Lydia Hearst, Agyness Deyn, Irina Lazareanu, and Liya Kebede.

Back in pinkland, the Black Eyed Peas took it upon themselves to get the party started correctly, as Taboo stood up on the couch during their song, “I Got a Feeling,” raising his arms and convincing all the girls to start jumping. And that’s exactly when the evening really began. In between photo snaps from personal cameras, air kisses, and huge smiles, it was obvious to see the night had transpired successfully for everyone. Charlotte Stockdale, the stylist, was coerced into the center to dance with all of her models, while Heidi Klum took up residence with her family, dancing about in her black latex dress by Fierce Couture with white accents and mini gloves to match.

As Modelinia was leaving, we caught Caroline Winberg snapping pictures with fans, as they screamed, “Let’s hear it for Sweden!”

When it comes to Heidi Klum, assume nothing.

The supermodel only gave birth a little over a month ago on October 9, but she’s runway ready!

Early reports said that the VS stunner would host the show but not walk, given her limited period of time between the birth of her new baby girl, Lou Sulola Samuel, and the annual Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show.

But Heidi shocked the crowd and walked in the show—to everyone’s pleasure, we’re sure! After green vines took over the background of the stage and little pink fake birds came down from the sky, Heidi walked out to open the Enchanted Forest section of the show. She wore a Victoria’s Secret cupped slip and matching panty with a corset and half gown by Jane Law, with fine jewelry by Mouawad and shoes by Guisseppe Zanotti. Demurly she walked out, her hair hiding her face, but she quickly turned on her Heidi charm and the crowd went WILD.

It wouldn’t be a Victoria’s Secret show without our Kluminator!

The moment that everyone is waiting for has finally arrived. If you don’t want details about the 2009 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show, STOP READING NOW!

The silver runway opens the show along with a major show of lights, turning the front-row guests into rave dancers with green glow sticks. Green lasers swarm the stage, which is decorated to look like a city street. A ribbon sky dancer is raised to the roof. Robot dancers come out onto the runway, glowing neon. The Black Eyed Peas enter to “Boom Boom Pow,” complete with Fergie dressed in a black leotard and Christian Louboutin over-the-knee boots, and the show begins. Out first is Alessandra Ambrosio, while Fergie dances centerstage. Liu Wen, the first Asian to ever walk for VS, immediately got the feel, taking a moment during her runway walk to dance with Taboo from the Black Eyed Peas.

For the second set, All Aboard, a huge cloud appears, followed by rolling hills and a train, complete with choo-choo noises. The green landscape turns into a cruise liner, which sets off to sea, finally coming to port at a city. Doutzen Kroes opens this portion, while Chanel Iman follows—her first VS runway appearance.

Flash to Pink Planet, as a kaleidoscope of colors take over the screen, and multiple huge Behati Prinsloo’s appear. The real Pink girl shows off her first pair of wings, which look even more adorable in action. Front and center is a huge pink blow-up dog, while the models strut as cute and girly as possible.

Phew—the models get a breather and time to change their outfits as the Black Eyed Peas come back onstage to perform “Meet Me Halfway,” decorated by a huge moon on the background. The moon translates back into the city streets, as faux pink birds fall from the sky and green vines take over the set for the Enchanted Forest portion of the show. And what do you know, Heidi Klum walks out! After we regained our breath, we saw the girls translate into wooden nymphs from the forest, and it was on to the final section.

Right before the Romantic Journey, a mime with red balloons walks onto the stage, followed by a chorus dressed in black. Marisa Miller opens this section, and Anna J’s outfit is more sparkly then the silver runway. Rosie Huntington-Whiteley closes the show, but the girls came back out for one last dance party, grinning and dancing about. And on a fashion note, just like the streets and fashion editorials, the VS Fashion Show is full of over-the-knee boots. But here’s a new use for garters: Style your OTKs like Miranda Kerr!

Modelinia would like to take a moment to remember Daul Kim, who passed away today, November 19, 2009, in Paris, as her modeling agency Next confirmed. “She was a top model and a great friend to all of us at Next. Please respect her family’s privacy at this time of sadness. We will all miss her very much,” they said in a statement. She was a very talented model, blogger, DJ, artist, and a friend to many with a brilliant personality and warm heart. She will be missed.

While Anja Rubik’s a seasoned pro at runway shows, today marks her first Victoria’s Secret experience.

What changed your mind?
I usually never do underwear shows, but this is so much fun, so relaxed, so cool, and I heard the Black Eyed Peas were going to be performing. It’s in New York and I live in New York, so I decided to do it! It’s pretty crazy.

Who convinced you do to the show?
Maryna [Linchuk] is actually a really good friend of mine. As is Caroline Trentini, and I know the stylist Charlotte Stockdale.

What are you going to do tomorrow to relax?
I’ll go have a massage. I don’t have much time because I have to catch a flight to L.A. to work!

And P.S.—She just finished reading The Beautiful Fall, which she recommends to everyone!

Whether we like to admit it or not, a part of high school always remains with us. Back then there were girls who—for whatever reason—were the most popular, the most noticeable, and the most talked about. In real life those girls are the Victoria’s Secret Angels, and with exceptional attributes and standout personalities, it’s easy to see why these seven women reign supreme, or shall we say, superlative.

Heidi Klum—Class President

For every group, there is a leader. For the Victoria’s Secret Angels, that leader is Heidi Klum. The model nabbed her wings in 1999, but has been walking for VS since 1997. Over a decade and four children later, the German powerhouse still looks incredible. Of course, modeling is not the only arena Heidi has conquered. The model mogul currently sits atop a veritable media and merchandising empire, encompassing fragrances, clothing, and jewelry collections, producer credits, and yes, even her own Barbie. With an indomitably positive outlook on life and a seemingly effortless balance of career and family, archangel Heidi sets a wonderful example for her sexy little cherubs. Long live the Klum!

Adriana Lima—Drama Queen
Model fans are no strangers to Adriana Lima’s enigmatic presence, but it seems film and television producers are catching on quickly. In 2001, just a year after she became an Angel, the Brazilian model starred alongside Forrest Whittaker and Mickey Rourke in The Follow, a short film in the BMW series The Hire. In addition to a guest spot on How I Met Your Mother, Adriana also flexed her comedic bone on Ugly Betty in 2008. What’s next for the pouty-faced supermodel? Whatever it is, one thing’s for sure: She’s screen siren gold.

Alessandra Ambrosio—Biggest Flirt
When it comes to the runway, no one has more winks, smirks, and hair flips than Alessandra Ambrosio. Since 2001, the Brazilian stunner’s tantalizing gaze has made her a favorite of many in the flock of Angels. In 2004, Alessandra became the face of Victoria’s Secret Pink collection, and the tongue-and-cheek ads only solidified the model’s allure. And though she’s now settled down with a daughter and a handsome fiancé, motherhood and matrimony are far from deterrents. It’s what you can’t have that you crave most, after all.

Marisa Miller—The All-American
Like a vision from a Beach Boys song, California girl Marisa Miller is the sole American Angel. Given her tight, toned physique, it’s no surprise the bombshell is also a natural athlete. Marisa was a volleyball star in high school and (outside of strutting full-force down the mile-long Victoria’s Secret runway) stays active by surfing and boxing. She became an Angel in 2007, and though her career as a model shows no signs of slowing down, the self-confessed sports fanatic has her sights set on becoming a sportscaster. “I can pick up any sport pretty quickly,” the Angel once boasted. “Believe me, I know how to throw a football.”

Miranda Kerr—Best Smile
Sure, a great smile is requisite for any Angel, but Miranda Kerr’s is particularity outstanding. Maybe it’s those adorable dimples or beaming blue eyes, but when Miranda takes the stage she ignites the runway with irresistible effervescence. Her girl-next-door looks have garnered praise and scored Miranda lucrative deals with brands like Clinique, and it didn’t take long for Victoria’s Secret to come calling. So what’s got Miranda smiling so brightly? It could be all the career success, but we wouldn’t be surprised if it also has something to do with fellow sexy Aussie Orlando Bloom, whom the model has been dating since 2007 (the same year she got her wings!).

Doutzen Kroes—The New Girl
Doutzen Kroes is the latest in a line of girls to make the jump from high-fashion darling to mainstream superstardom. Since gracing the cover of French Elle at 19, the Dutch wunderkind has walked virtually every designer runway, from Valentino to Christian Dior couture. Vogue even named her one of the world’s Next Top Models and she was featured on the cover of the May 2007 Model issue. With full lips and charming demeanor, Doutzen—who earned her wings in 2008—is the perfect addition to the international cast of beauties.

Behati Prinsloo—Most School Spirit
Some girls are too special to not get wings. Though she doesn’t jet set around the world with the others, Behati Prinsloo serves as a titular Angel for her gig as the spokesmodel for Victoria’s Secret Pink collection. The South African beauty surely has all the credentials for Angeldom, as she’s been a fashion favorite since she debuted as an exclusive at the Prada and Miu Miu shows in Milan and Paris in 2005. Behati signed on as the face of Pink in 2008, and her first appearance on the Victoria’s Secret runway also came that same year. Now Behati is primed to take her spot alongside fellow supermodels as a winged wonder to behold. ~ Tim Mitchell
