She was one of The Big Six catwalk icons from 90s when there wasn't a magazine front cover the picture perfect megastars didn't appear on.
Linda Evangelista was every inch as huge as Cindy Crawford, Naomi Campbell, Kate Moss, Claudia Schiffer and Christy Turlington nearly three decades ago.
But over 30 years since bursting onto the scene, the women's lives have all taken very different routes.
Most, of course, are still household names but 56-year-old Linda's story is one of regret and personal trauma - and she's only just coming to terms with it all.
She has now accepted the fact she was left 'permanently disfigured' from the 'brutal' cosmetic procedure she underwent six years ago which went badly wrong.
Heartbreakingly, said she no longer looked like herself after undergoing Zeltiq’s CoolSculpting procedure.
Linda claimed it did the 'opposite' of what she had hoped it would - and increased rather than decreased her fat cells leaving her "permanently deformed".
Some of the legendary catwalk queens she found fame alongside are still strutting their stuff in front of the cameras.
Here, we take a close look at where the Big Six models are now.
Linda Evangelista
Linda now says she is done with hiding herself away following the botched cosmetic fat-freezing procedure.
Six years after going under the knife, she is keen to return to the spotlight - and says she will not lock herself at home any longer.
The legendary model revealed last year that she was taking a cosmetics company to court.
Now, she says she is "tired" of hiding and wants to be able to walk around with "her head held high".
She spoke of her fat cells increasing - rather than decreasing, and she wasn't happy about it.
She has developed Paradoxical Adipose Hyperplasia (PAH) but won't be held back any longer.
"PAH has not only destroyed my livelihood, it has sent me into a cycle of deep depression, profound sadness and the lowest depths of self-loathing. In the process, I have become a recluse," she wrote in her Instagram post.
"I'm so tired of living this way. I would like to walk out my door with my head held high, despite not looking like myself any longer."
Kate Moss
The 48-year-old was known as one of the 1990s' wildest party girl going.
Her career took off quickly and when she was 16, she landed her first magazine cover. It was shot by Corrine Day for the hugely influential magazine, The Face.
But she has long put her party days behind her, and after a highly-publicised addiction to drugs, she is now sober and clean.
"I go to bed, I drink lots of water, not too much coffee, and I'm trying to cut down on cigarettes," she said of her lifestyle change.
Kate's daughter Lila has followed in her footsteps and models too now, and Kate couldn't be prouder of her.
Claudia Schiffer
Claudia Schiffer rose to fame in the '90s, way before Instagram even existed - and she definitely thinks she wouldn't have had the career she did if Instagram was around when she started out.
"I don’t think I would have been able to do it," she explained to The Edit.
"You have to reveal so much about yourself, and I’m a very private person, and quite shy."
She was regularly told her career would end in her 30s but now at the age of 51, the German model is defying the odds and still regularly appears in campaigns and on magazine covers.
She said: "When I started [modelling], they used to say, 'At 30, your career is over.'
"They used to programme that in. It felt normal."
Naomi Campbell
Naomi Campbell is still very involved in the fashion world, three decades after she first broke onto the modelling scene.
The 51-year-old model still regularly appears on the catwalk and in 2018, she was handed the Fashion Icon award by the Council of Fashion Designers of America.
During the coronavirus pandemic, she started her own YouTube series called No Filter with Naomi, and was joined by a whole host of celebrity guests including the likes of Marc Jacobs, Nicole Richie and Ashley Graham.
She has also been joined by her fellow supermodels - Cindy Crawford and Christy Turlington - for the series, which premiered its 50th episode earlier this year.
Naomi also recently welcomed her first child - a baby girl - into the world.
Appearing on BBC Hardtalk, she revealed of her little one: "I'm really lucky I have a dream child. She's wonderful.
"She's very independent already, very smart, alert, sleeps 12 hours. She's a good girl."
Christy Turlington
Christy Turlington, too, rose to fame in the 1990s and she remembers her first magazine cover so clearly.
It was for a Calvin Klein campaign and she recalls how she couldn't believe she was on the front of a magazine.
"At a certain point, so much has happened and you've done so much that there isn't really one story that stands out," the 52-year-old supermodel told Harper's Bazaar.
"But, I remember the first of most things. So, my first big campaign: a Calvin Klein campaign. My first magazine cover.
"All the firsts. And, I can remember every person and every detail. Sharing those first experiences with people helps them stay particularly present in my mind."
Christy works on a lot of charity campaigns now and also serves on the Harvard Medical School Global Health Council.
She also campaigns against smoking, as an ex-smoker herself and having sadly lost her dad to lung cancer.
Cindy Crawford
Cindy Crawford's career has only gone from strength to strength since she hit the catwalk in the 1990s.
She still does plenty of modelling now, and recently re-created one of her biggest looks from the 90s.
Cindy returned to the original Halfway House from her famous Pepsi commercial in 1992 in a bid to raise funds for the American Family Children’s Hospital in Madison, Wisconsin where her brother was treated for leukaemia.
Her kids - Kaia Gerber and Presley Gerber - are also keen models, following in their mother's footsteps.
"I always say even I don't wake up looking like Cindy Crawford!" she told Women's Health of the process behind her famous photoshoots.
"What people see on magazine covers is one moment that was perfect - the wind, the light, the hair, the makeup. That's a two-hour process. It's good to have an awareness of that outside pressure, but I can't let it get to my core."
