The 29-year-old mother-of-two is known for her curves. Previously she's said that despite her figure making it hard for her to fit into designer sample sizes, she refused to give into pressure to lose weight.

Instead the Dutch beauty has built her career around having curves and is now a top player in the industry.

Twenty-nine-year-old mother-of-two, Doutzen Kroes from Holland is the top-earning Angel (together with Adriana Lima). She's raked in $8million this year and came joint second on Forbes list of top-earning models

She also designs her own denim range for Frame Denim - the Forever Karlie jeans collection - and has worked on an eyewear collaboration with Warby Parker.

Then as if the year wasn't already going well enough, in September 2014, she was officially named the new face of L'Oreal. Lucky she's found time to fly in to London for the Victoria's Secret show.

The model recently gave fans a look inside her Manhattan townhouse, which was photographed by The Coveteur magazine. Karlie posed in many of her favourite fashion items including dresses by Reformation and Gucci handbags.
