In this issue, Yi Shen is talking to you about the most successful Russian celebrity in history - Natalia Vodianova. Her legendary life is like a real-life version of the fairy tale "Cinderella".
Natalie, who debuted at the age of 17, was spotted by CK Jeans during an audition and took a series of photos. After that, she got out of hand and was called "CK Girl".
Just like CK (Calvin Klein) creative Fabien Baron said, "When I saw her for the first time, I knew she was my CK girl, just like Kate Moss or Carolyn Murphy in the past."
Na Tully began to endorse CK's main line in 2002 and became a legend in CK's single main line Jiulianzhuang. From 2003 to 2006, CK did not lose a single line. She was the spokesperson for all lines.
She signed the largest and longest endorsement contract in history with CK. She has shot advertisements for almost all CK series from fashion, underwear, jeans, sunglasses to perfume. This achievement has not been broken yet.
But she chose to get married and have children in her golden age of 20. After giving birth to three children, she still maintained her beautiful face and figure, and was still favored by countless designers and fashion brands.
In 2003, her income surpassed Kate Moss and German supermodel Claudia Schiffer in one fell swoop, becoming the top five global supermodels.
In 2004, Natalie became the global spokesperson for L'Oréal and was invited to walk in Tom Ford's farewell show, LV, Chanel, Gucci, Versace, YSL, Guerlain, etc., and received many endorsement advertisements.
From New York to Paris, Natalie is the opening model selected by major brands. At the same time, she is also the spokesperson of major brands. From Gucci, DKNY, Max Mara, YSL, to Calvin Klein, her presence is everywhere, and she even had the courage to refuse Chanel's invitation.
During the two years when Natalie was most popular, five out of ten pages of fashion magazines wished they were all about her. In 2007, Natalie became the second cover girl to appear alone on the US edition of "VOGUE" after Linda Evangelista.
I still remember the 2014 World Cup in Brazil. The Hercules Cup was escorted by Brazilian national treasure supermodel Gisele Bundchen. For the 2018 World Cup in Russia, this time the Hercules Cup was escorted by Natalie and Spanish football player Iker Casillas, which shows her status among Russians.
The industry always comments on her like this: "This beautiful girl is very good at facing the camera, and her eyes can always tell the emotions she wants to express."
And there is always a trace of melancholy hidden in Natalie's blue eyes, maybe It is inseparable from her difficult childhood life.
Natalie was born in a small village in Russia in 1982. When she was only two years old, her father abandoned the family. When she was 11 years old, she was still helping her mother carry fruit, and by the time she was 14, she had mastered the ability to run a fruit shop. So she has always had the nickname "Fruitina".
It was also when she was 14 years old that she was spotted by a talent scout while working at her family's fruit stall, and later signed a contract with the famous VIVA Modeling Agency.
The talent scout told her: "You should go to Paris. You can do better there, but you must learn English within 3 months."
And she did learn English quickly in just three months, and then flew to He went to Paris, France, and started his legendary Super M career.
From a fruit vendor to the world's super M, from super M to the crown princess of LV, Natalie's marriage is also legendary.
Natalie has been through two marriages and is now a mother of five children.
When she was 20 years old, she held a fairy-tale grand wedding in St. Petersburg with the British aristocrat Justin Portman. Portman is the third son of the late British Viscount Edward Henry Berkeley Portman. His family owns real estate in London and is known as the "Diamond King of the High Society."
Later, they had a total of 2 boys and 1 girl, and Natalie did not give up her career. She always controlled the rhythm of her career. She returned to the T stage six weeks after giving birth and became a global player. Top five supermodels.
In 2011, Natalia and Portman ended their 9-year marriage. When they separated, Natalie only made one request to him - "I want to take care of these three children by myself."
But Natalie's life was so tough. Three months after the divorce, she met her current Her husband - Antoine Arnault, the eldest son of Bernard Arnault, the president of the famous LV Fashion Group. From then on, Natalie had another title, "Princess LV".
On May 2, 2014, she gave birth to a son, Maxim, for Arnault. On June 4, 2016, Natalia gave birth to another son, Roman.
They got engaged on New Year's Day 2020, but their originally planned wedding in June was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. On September 21, 2020, the two held a simple wedding at the City Hall in the 16th arrondissement of Paris.
Natalie is known as the woman who counterattacked in the real version of Cinderella, but her story cannot be copied in life.
Just like Natalie said: "I never feel that I am Cinderella. Because Cinderella can become a princess as long as she puts on crystal shoes . And I, whether in work or life, have been working hard. Work hard. I want to be Alice in the fairy tale. I am very happy that I have found my own wonderland. #Today’s headlines annual entertainment awards#
