Biography

About Daniela Pestova

Edited by the community

A blonde-haired, blue-eyed Czech model with a slim, tall frame, Daniela Pestova is one of the most recognized faces of the 1990s supermodel era. Standing 5'11" and weighing 134 lbs, her measurements are 34–23–36, a combination that made her a staple on runways and in print. Over her career, she established herself as a business woman, model, and influencer, maintaining a presence in fashion even as the industry evolved. Born on October 14, 1970, in Teplice, Usti nad Labem Region, Czech Republic, she grew up speaking Czech, but her fluency extends to French, Russian, English, and Italian, a skill set that aided her international work.

Pestova's career took off when she was discovered at age 19 in a Prague theater by Dominique Caffin of the Madison Modeling Agency. She became a Victoria's Secret Angel in 1998 and walked in three Victoria's Secret Fashion Shows between 1998 and 2001. Her work with the brand began when she signed in 1997, and she had previously signed with L'Oreal as a print model and spokesperson in 1994. She also graced the covers of Sports Illustrated Swimsuit editions in 1995, 2000, and 2006, and appeared regularly in that publication for over a decade. Additionally, she featured on covers of GQ, Marie Claire, Cosmopolitan, Glamour, Shape, Fitness, and Bikini. Her nickname, "The Chameleon," reflects her ability to constantly change her look, a quality that kept her relevant in a competitive field.

Her personal life includes a marriage to former Fashion Café CEO Tomasso Buti in 1995, with whom she had a son, Yannick Fausto, before divorcing in 1998. With her present partner, musician Pavol Habera, she has two children: daughter Ella, born in 2002, and son Paul Henry, born in 2009. She is straight and has no tattoos or piercings. Her solo content features implied nudity only. With an Instagram following of 235,000, she remains active in the digital space, sharing insights into her life and career.
