25: Kim Smith
Smith has worked for Guess as well as Victoria’s Secret. She appeared in Catwoman alongside Halle Berry, and has also starred in numerous music videos including NSync’s “Bye, bye, bye”. Don’t hold that against her though.
24: Ana Hickmann
Hickmann was once listed in Guinness as the model with the longest legs in the world (they really make up some goofy categories) with legs measuring 48 inches long (she is 6ft 1′ tall). Hickmann was married way back in 1998 when she was only 16 years old.

Quite possibly the most famous model turned actress in the world. Has starred in numerous films including Pearl Harbor, Sin City, and Bulletproof Monk.
18: Helena Christensen
All you need to know: Helena was the girl in the Chris Isaak “Wicked Game” video. For that video alone Christensen is probably one of the hottest women in the world, let alone hottest Victoria’s Secret model.
17: Estella Warren
Not only is Warren a well known fashion model, she’s a national Canadian synchronized swimming champion. Multi-talented, honestly not something you can say about most fashion models.
16: Niki Taylor
Niki Taylor is one of the original models considered to be super models. Appeared on the cover of Vogue at the age of 14, and has since appeared on more than 400 magazine covers in total.
15: Tyra Banks
Tyra Banks is inescapable these days, with her talk show as well as America’s Next Top Model. Tyra’s TV career actually began on The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air where she played Will Smith’s old friend Jackie Ames.
14: Stephanie Seymour
Another massively famous supermodel, Seymour has appeared on over 300 magazine covers. A serial dater back in the early 90′s, Seymour was attached to various famous men such as Warren Beatty and Axl Rose.
13: Rebecca Romijn
Romijn is obviously one of the msot famous models in the world, but she’s just as well known for her acting work in movies such as the X-Men franchise as well as the television show Ugly Betty.
12: Petra Nemcova
Nemcova was the cover girl for the 2003 edition of Sports Illustrated’s swimsuit issue. Nemcova is a survivor of the Thailand tsunami that struck in December of 2004. She suffered a broken pelvis and internal injuries but clung to the top of a palm tree for over eight hours before being rescued. So she’s pretty hard core for a Victoria’s Secret model.
11: Olga Kurylenko
Kurylenko is probably best known for being the Bond girl in Quantum of Solace. She also just recently appeared on the cover of Maxim for their December, 2008 edition.
10: Molly Sims

Everhard has appeared in numerous films and reality television shows and has also dated quite a few famous personalities including Howard Stern and Joe Pesci.
7: Marisa Miller
Miller took home the #1 slot on Maxim’s Hot 100 this past year, but she’s best known for her work in SI’s swimsuit issues as well as her Victoria’s Secret campaigns. Quite possibly the most famous working model in the world right now.
6: Bar Refaeli
Refaeli is an Israeli model, probably better known for dating Leonardo DiCaprio. She caused some controversy recently when it came out that she evaded compulsory military service in Israel, saying “Why is it good to die for our country? What, isn’t it better to live in New York?”.
5: Adriana Lima
A Victoria’s Secret angel since 2000, Lima is also well known for being a spokeswoman for Maybelline, as well as her numerous magazine cover appearances.
4: Alessandra Ambrosio
Tyra Banks has anointed Ambrosio “The future of the modeling world” and it’s not too tough to see why. Actually had her ears pinned back when she was 11 years old, and has since sworn off plastic surgery after having numerous complications. Has made cameos on Entourage as well as the film Casino Royale.
3: Gisele Bundchen
The inspiration for this list, Bundchen has been hot tabloid fodder ever since she started dating Tom Brady. She’s the face of more than 20 brands internationally and is supposedly worth over $150 million. Actually dated Leonardo DiCaprio before hooking up with Tom Brady, which means DiCaprio might be the luckiest bastard on the face of the planet considering he landed Bar Refaeli following Gisele.
2: Laetitia Casta
Easily one of the most iconic faces in the history of Victoria’s Secret. Casta has been on the cover of more than 100 magazines and has been featured in Guess, Tommy Hilfiger, and XOXO campaigns.
1: Heidi Klum
A lot of debate went into this ranking, but when the dust settled we had to name Heidi Klum the hottest Victoria’s Secret model of all time. In all fairness however, any of the top seven would have fit, and I’m sure arguments could be made for many of the other girls in this list. In the end though, it has to be Klum. She’s managed to stay at peak hotness for something like fifteen years now, and for that alone she deserves the top spot.
