About her |
personality & talent
Demonstrating poise and composure beyond her years, Kurkova has a modest attitude. She truly appreciates the opportunities that have been given to her and is simply taking full advantage of her situation. Who can blame her? This Czech chick is in full control, using her brains and body to get as far as she can. The best example of her tendency to go against the grain came during a Victoria's Secret television special where footage was shown of her fooling around backstage and doing impressions from her favorite movie, Zoolander. In that one outtake, audiences saw a model who was far from a snob -- and Kurkova hasn't looked back since.
In terms of innate skill, she has what it takes. A natural flair for the spotlight makes Kurkova a perfect model, while her beauty is a talent that goes without saying. Sure, being a fashion model is not like conducting brain surgery, but in relative terms, Kurkova is among the best in her trade.
sexiness
Although supermodels are often told to be more serene and placid than naughty, Kurkova is able to translate her fun personality into each photo shoot. Thus, we can easily fantasize about this golden-haired goddess.
To compliment her assets would be stating the obvious. Just staring at her in one of the Victoria's Secret lingerie outfits is enough to induce bouts of rampant drooling. Czech mate!
accomplishments & fame
After winning acclaim as a potential world-renowned model in her native Czech Republic, Kurkova broke through to a large audience after appearing on numerous Vogue covers across Europe. An American Vogue cover in February 2001 followed an appearance at a Victoria's Secret show in Cannes, bringing her magazine cover total to eight and garnering her a "very hot" status by those in the know.
The section of the public who was not as fashion conscious got to know Kurkova quite well after she prowled the catwalk in the November 2001 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show on ABC. She had even more exposure in the same show the following year and, still in her teens, was catapulted into the same class as Gisele Bundchen and Heidi Klum. Kurkova, at only 18 years of age, was named "Model of the Year" at the 2002 VH1/Vogue Fashion Awards while continuing to appear in ready-to-wear and haute couture runway productions each season.
Continuing her supermodel duties, Kurkova has also been involved in ad campaigns for Valentino and Yves Saint Laurent, as well as fashion shows for Ralph Lauren, Michael Kors and Oscar de la Renta. Now a symbol of national pride back home, Kurkova commands the highest rates and receives the best treatment as part of the elite upper echelon of modeling.
natural beauty
Kurkova's looks are anything but conventional. Her 5'11" statuesque frame is complemented by long blonde locks, pale green eyes, chiseled cheekbones, and full lips, making her a veritable goddess. Her non-skeletal figure is also a plus, while her skin is utterly perfect. By now, she has certainly made everyone's "Czech" list.
personal style
As a model whose status allows her to wear clothes of the highest quality and latest trends, it goes without saying that Kurkova is stylish. When not working (which isn't often), she chooses to wear comfortable clothes like sweatpants, jeans and running shoes. Let's be honest, Kurkova could make a potato sack look sexy.
