It’s hard to imagine today’s reigning runway queens before they were strutting their stuff. There was a time when our favorite models were just starting out, walking (fabulously) in the footsteps of the major supermodels. So we just HAD to know who our favorite beauties looked up to. We find out who was inspired by Cindy and her mole, who cherished Tyra’s self-respect and who learned how to walk from Kate Moss!
Cindy Crawford remains at the head of the pack with Coco Rocha, Hilary Rhoda and Dominique Piek counting the smoldering beauty as their favorite. Coco quotes Cindy as a huge inspiration by praising her work ethic because she treated modeling as a profession and managed to build a small empire. Sports Illustrated model Damaris Lewis admires Tyra Banks’s curvier frame, but mostly her ability to stay true to herself. British beauty Cara Delevingne and Behati Prinsloo idolize Kate Moss and Lonneke Engel even admits that Kate taught her how to walk!
We can see why stylish model, Jessica Hart, admires Lauren Hutton’s amazing gap and it’s also no surprise that Karlie Kloss looks up to Christy Turlington’s inner AND outer beauty. Make sure to check out more of our Role Models in the slideshow below.
