The Evolution of Karlie

From earning Elle Macpherson's exclusive title to strutting the runway regular, Karlie Kloss has come a long way since gracing the pages of Teen Vogue. The St. Louis native may have encountered a few controversies, from Tyra's ridicule to accusations of anorexia, but for most of her modeling career, she's managed to maintain a squeaky‐clean image. But after appearing at Carine Roitfeld's Vampire Ball in the "Karlie" dress, stripping down for Mario Testino, and starring in that editorial, fashion's sweetheart is (to use a cheesy term) one good girl gone bad. And after strapping on some Angel wings, she's cemented her topnotch status as a high fashion/commercial crossover (alongside a select few supers like Isabeli Fontana, Daria Werbowy, and Angela Lindvall). But is Karlie the next Gisele bombshell?
Below, Karlie's meteoric rise over five years.
