Aishwarya Rai Bachchan
Aishwarya Rai Bachnan is a stalwart of these lists since she won the title of Miss World 1994. She began modeling while in college and later began starring in Bollywood movies where her performances were characterized by a “delicately sensual presence and physical grace”. Despite having to constantly deal with media attention she has successfully managed to keep her personal life under wraps. This is an incredible feat, considering her almost godlike status in India.

A year later she was introduced as Estée Lauder’s spokesmodel, beginning her modeling career at 29.
