Marisa Miller

Miller's career took off in 1997 when she appeared nude in the first issue of Perfect 10 magazine. Although she placed third in the magazine's first annual model search, she graced its covers multiple times, including the Winter 1998 and August/September 1999 editions. A pivotal moment came in 2001 when fashion photographer Mario Testino introduced her to high-profile work, leading to editorials in American and Italian Vogue. By 2002 she was working with Victoria's Secret and appearing in the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue, which she did every year from 2002 to 2008. One of her most famous shots was posing with only an iPod in the 2007 issue. That same year, she filmed her first Victoria's Secret commercial alongside Heidi Klum and made her runway debut in the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show.

Her work extends far beyond swimsuits and lingerie. Miller appeared in magazines like GQ, Maxim, and Vanity Fair, and in campaigns for Marc Jacobs, Guess, and True Religion. In 2008, she launched a shoe line with Vans and became the first spokesperson in Harley-Davidson's hundred-year history. She also served as Captain Morgan's Official First Mate and worked with the NFL as a spokesperson for the 2010-2011 season. Her television credits include judging on Manhunt and America's Next Top Model, and a role on How I Met Your Mother. She made her film debut in R.I.P.D. (2013). At 5'7" with a slim build, hazel eyes, and blonde hair, Miller remains active in the industry, currently working as a glamour model and influencer. She is straight and has natural breasts, with various tattoos.

Her journey from a shy tomboy to a household name is marked by her ability to reinvent herself, from Perfect 10 covers to the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue cover in 2008, which was revealed on a three-story billboard. That issue drew 228 million page views, a 41% increase from the previous year. She has also been a judge on reality shows, appeared in music videos, and even designed a paddle board line. Despite her diverse portfolio, she remains best known for her work as a Victoria's Secret Angel, including wearing the $3 million Fantasy Bra in 2009. As she told Forbes in 2010, she shifted her focus from modeling to building a personal brand, which led to her endorsements and product lines. Miller's impact on fashion and pop culture is undeniable, but she stays grounded, still connected to her California roots and her love of surfing.
