5. Anna Bayle

Renowned model Anna Bayle, sometimes referred to as "Asia's first supermodel," created waves in the fashion business with her exquisite presence and original style. Walking the runways for esteemed fashion companies such Valentino, Christian Lacroix, and Oscar de la Renta, she enthralled audiences and gained recognition among the elite in the modelling business. Gracing the covers of Harper's BAZAAR and other esteemed publications confirmed her reputation as a fashion icon and helped her to become a household name in Asia and elsewhere. Bayle left a lasting impression on the business by following her love of modelling, even though she first wanted a premed degree at the University of the Philippines. She uses her knowledge as the beauty editor for lookonline.com now to share her ideas and experiences with a fresh generation of aspirational models and beauty aficionados. In addition, Bayle is scheduled to present The Next Anna Bayle, a riveting search for the next Asian supermodel, proving her dedication to developing talent and diversity in the fashion business. Her path provides evidence of the influence of industry representation as well as the ability of one to follow their aspirations.

6. Christie Brinkley

Though fate had other ideas, Christie Brinkley never dreamed she would leave her graphic design job for the runway. She graced the covers of Sports Illustrated three times in a succession with her gorgeous appearance and contagious energy, therefore securing her reputation as a supermodel and throwing her into the limelight. Her ascent to celebrity has been relentless since then; she has become a household name for her acting, business interests, and modelling as well as for her appearance. Christie, who is now in her seventies, might not be modelling as often but she is embracing other life events. She has shown tenacity and fortitude by battling glaucoma, having eye surgery, and even hip replacement surgery. She nevertheless is a lighthouse of optimism and self-acceptance in spite of these obstacles. Originally well-known for her blonde hair, Christie is now beginning to accept her age and let her grey hairs show through—which she sees as a sign of beauty and wisdom. Her path conveys a strong lesson about the need of self-love and ageing elegantly.
