Eva Herzigova

Eva Herzigova became one of the most recognizable faces of the 1990s. The media dubbed her "The Marilyn of the '90s" after her breakthrough Wonderbra campaign in 1994, which famously caused traffic jams. She graced over 200 magazine covers, including Vogue, Harper's Bazaar, Elle, and the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue (debuting in 1998). As a Victoria's Secret Angel from 1996 to 2000, she appeared in catalogs and the 1998 and 1999 fashion shows. She also walked for Prada, Chanel, and Dolce & Gabbana, and starred in campaigns for Guess, Dior, Versace, and L'Oréal. Her striking looks made her a muse for photographers like Ellen von Unwerth, Peter Lindbergh, and Mario Testino. In 2000, she posed for Playboy in a pictorial shot by David LaChapelle. She has also done full nudity in other fashion contexts, describing these experiences as empowering.

Beyond modeling, Eva Herzigova has worked as an actress and producer. She appeared in the films Modigliani (2004), Les Anges gardiens (1995), and Inferno (1992). She was in the music video for Bryan Adams' "Have You Ever Really Loved a Woman?" and featured in the 2023 docuseries The Super Models. Her personal life includes a brief marriage to Bon Jovi drummer Tico Torres (1996-1998) and a long-term partnership with Italian businessman Gregorio Marsiaj since 2001, with whom she has three sons. She lives in London and Milan, balancing selective modeling with family life. Her net worth is estimated at $15 million, built through modeling contracts, endorsements, and her fashion line with Etam. She continues to be celebrated as a timeless figure in fashion.
