Gisele Bundchen has been named as the highest paid model of the year, in the annual list released by Forbes.
The Brazilian beauty made $42 million last year - slightly down from her earnings last year, but with that much money in the bank who's complaining?
Who does she model for? The last twelve months has seen Gisele front high-profile campaigns with brands including Versace, Givenchy, Chanel and H&M.
What's she given the hair world? The original queen of ombré hair, Gisele was rocking sun-kissed lengths years before everyone else went crazy for the balayage technique. Her
oh-so-natural blonde lengths are part and parcel of this model's super-healthy, beach-loving, outdoorsy look.
These days her colour is more of an all-over blonde, but those beautiful beachy waves are still very much a part of her look. Serge Normant at John Frieda is rumoured to be the man responsible for her style - and she's in good company, with Gwyneth Paltrow, Sarah Jessica Parker and Rachel Weisz also on his books.

2. Miranda Kerr
Aussie model Miranda Kerr came second on the list, earning $7.2 million over the last twelve months; an increase from 2012.
Who does she model for? As well as being one of
the most well-dressed and oft-documented street-style stars on the planet, Miranda also models for Mango and Victoria's Secret and last season walked for the likes of Christian Dior, Lanvin, Chanel and Stella McCartney.
What's she given the hair world? Despite being mum to two-year old Flynn, Miranda never looks anything but perfect in her thousands of street-style shots.
She's a real girl-next-door type, with impossibly glossy brunette lengths with just an artful hint of face-framing sun-kissed colour. Natural and no-fuss is definitely her look - you can take the girl out of Sydney, but you can't take the Sydney out of the girl.
Although she's now based primarily in the States, top Aussie stylists including Oscar Cullinan and Kevin Murphy have been known to style her hair when she's home.

3. Adriana Lima
One of Victoria's Secret's longest-running Angels, Brazilian Adriana Lima first signed for the brand a whopping 13 years ago. In the last year, she is reported to have earned $6 million.
Who does she model for? Victoria's Secret is Adriana's best-known partnership, but she's also modeled for fashion brands including Miu Miu, Donna Karan, Blumarine and Desigual.
What's she given the hair world? Most of the Victoria's Secret models rock thick, bouncy waves that are envied the world over, but perhaps none more than Adriana, whose smoldering style is one of the most requested looks in salons across the States.
So what's she given the hair world? Clients requesting extensions by the dozen, regular blow-dries and styling sessions and oil by the bottle; Adriana swears by it.

4. Kate Moss
Queen Kate raked in $5.7 over the last twelve months - not bad for a Croydon girl who made her first steps in the modelling world way back in 1988.
Who does she model for? Who doesn't she model for? This year alone she's signed new contracts for Versace, Rimmel, Stuart Weitzman, Givenchy, St Tropez and Kerastase.
What's she given the hair world? The queen of London cool, Kate embodies Brit style like no other model.
Effortless, undone, grungy - Kate's natural look is what we all dream of waking up with. Combining 60s rock chick style with her own 90s twist, Mossy never looks anything but cool - even when she's rolling out of a club at 4am.
As of 2013, Kate is the face of Kerastase and her campaign shoots prove that she's perfectly versatile when it comes to pulling of high-octane glamour too, with
bouncy curls and a lion's mane of volume.

5. Liu Wen
A relative newcomer when compared to the other names on this list, Chinese beauty Liu made an estimated $4.3 million over the 2012-13 period.
Who does she model for? Liu was the first model of Asian descent to sign for Estee Lauder and to walk for Victoria's Secret - and she's the first to appear on the Forbes list too.
Over the course of the last year, she's been named as the face of Tiffany & Co, Roberto Cavalli, Calvin Klein, Oscar de la Renta and Louis Vuitton.
What's she given the hair world? A return to classic elegance - polished, perfect and pretty.
Her hair is all about health; long, shiny, thick and glossy - but that's not to say she can't carry off edgier styles. Her portfolio is packed full of inspiring hair - from
multi-coloured braids by Guido to
candy-pink waves and
elegant 40s waves.
