Chinese supermodel Liu Wen may have made history in 2009 by becoming the first Asian model to walk in the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show, but she’s been attracting attention on runways since 2007. The rising star continued to break barriers in 2010, when she joined Estée Lauder’s “Every Woman Can Be Beautiful” campaign -- and, at least in Wen’s case, we’d have to agree. While we’d like to think it’s pretty self-evident in this day and age, the leggy Wen is proof positive that Victoria’s Secret models don’t have to be blonde to be a certified bombshell.

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley
The woman who made Megan Fox redundant, Victoria’s Secret Angel Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, stepped into the role of Shia LaBeouf’s love interest for Transformers: Dark of the Moon this past summer. And in a movie about talking alien robots attacking Earth via the moon, it was Shia landing a girl like Rosie that strained our suspension of disbelief the most. This blockbuster British beauty is currently the face of Burberry in addition to being a frequent cover girl. With her striking good looks, it’s not hard to see why she's in such high demand. That said, we’re expecting even more from the sultry supermodel in 2012, as she uses the Transformers attention to take her to the next level of mega-stardom. We can’t wait.
