20. Oluchi Onweagba

Oluchi is a true work of God. 'Work of God' is the meaning of her name and she personifies this not only with her stunning looks, but also her shining personality. It is no wonder Sports Illustrated came knocking for a fourth time for a feature in the 2008 swimsuit edition. When L'Oreal Paris, Lancome, Christian Dior, Giorgio Armani and Fendi have sought her out, then you know Ms. Onweagba is indeed an exemplary piece of work.

Glowing beauty Bar Rafaeli has appeared not only in the Sports Illustrated 2007 issue, but also the 2008 edition as well. With those piercing blue eyes who can resist a second helping of Bar. Having her name hinged to Hollywood's biggest star has certainly helped ramp up that Rafaeli profile.

Animal lover Tori Praver never intended to be a model- in fact she had her heart set on a career as a marine trainer but after a chance encounter with a scout, the 5'11 Hawaiian beauty decided to give fashion a try instead. A few short years later she was the face of Guess - the rest as they say is history.
