There are thousands of models out there, but only a lucky few ever reach super model status. What is the difference between a model and a supermodel, you may ask. The word supermodel is a fairly new term coined in 1979 when Janice Dickinson called herself the worlds first supermodel. However, the concept of supermodels has actually existed since the early 1930’s. A model is a gorgeous girl who you see in catalogs and on runways. A supermodel is someone you can recognize outside of the fashion world. You know their names and often, they’ve done something other than model – host a show, write a book, star in a film. Here are some runway legends showcasing their super styles.
Gisele Bundchen and Hunter Original Rain Boot
Brazilian born model Gisele Bundchen is the top paid model in the world. She’s married to New England Patriots star, Tom Brady and she’s worth over $150 million dollars. You’d never know, though, seeing her here on her way to the gym. She rocks black sweats and a sweater, umbrella and wellingtons similar to the Hunter Original rain boot Hunter is the biggest name in rain boots and nearly every star has been spotted in a pair. Gisele is a goodwill ambassador and has scored several small movie roles in films like “Taxi” and “The Devil Wears Prada”.

She started modeling in 11th grade and went on to be one of the biggest names in fashion. She was the first African American woman on the covers of GQ, the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue and the Victoria’s Secret Catalog. In 1997, she received the VH1 award for Supermodel of the Year. She hosted and produced America’s Next Top model and her own talk show; she’s starred in over half a dozen movies, she’s tried her hand at singing and she’s written a book – she most definitely qualifies as a legend.

Jessica Lowndes and Tory Burch Eddie
Canadian actress, Jessica Lowndes of the new “90210″ fame, walks to the doctor in a super cute casual look. She wears a fantastic abstract patterned purple corset dress with a lightweight white sweater and black bag and flats, similar to the Tory Burch Eddie. Patent flats, like this Tory Burch pair always add something extra to a look. We love the white sweater; black would make the look a little too dark instead of young and fun. Great outfit Jessica!
Cameron Diaz and Michael Kors Berkley

These stunning sandals by Marc Jacobs are great for the upcoming spring but can even be worn in winter, paired with tights and socks for an artsy, eclectic look.
Leggings can be a fun alternative to pants when worn appropriately. Remember, they are thin and extra clingy, so pair them with a dress or longer top. They can be dressed up or down, worn for workouts and more. Leggings are available in nearly every imaginable color and print.
