Often considered the original member of this clan, it is also she who has made the most magazine covers: more than 700... Throughout her immense career as a supermodel, Linda Evangelista has been nicknamed "the chameleon". She could transform into any woman, for any shooting, any couturier...

But sadly ironically, it was a botched plastic surgery that later "disfigured" her in her own words, ending a career that enshrined her as one of the greatest models in history.
