1. Linda Evangelista, 23: THEN
Canadian-born Evangelista got her start when she was spotted by a talent agent at a Miss Teen Niagara pageant in 1978. Ten years later, she lost a number of major runway bookings when she suddenly swapped her then-shoulder-length hair for a boyish, close-cropped style, but her ever-changing ‘do eventually became her trademark. A face of Revlon, Donna Karan, and Versace, she famously told a reporter in 1990 that she and her supermodel colleagues “don’t get out of bed for less than $10,000 a day.”image:

The model-turned-entrepreneur’s signature lingerie line, Macpherson Intimates, is a best-selling success, stocked at Bloomingdale’s, Saks Fifth Avenue, and Neiman Marcus. She’s also launched a skincare collection, called (of course) “The Body,” and was the host of NBC’s Fashion Star. She made a triumphant return to the runway, closing Louis Vuitton’s buzzed-about Fall 2010 show. In 2014, Macpherson co-founded WelleCo, the company behind organic wellness supplements such as The Super Elixir.
