An eclectic choice of designers and brands to represent - from Yves Saint Laurent to Pepsi - has meant Schiffer has never disappeared from the public eye or gone hungry. At almost 50 years old, teenage boys might now be getting their kicks from other celebs, but she's still the one-woman gorgeous powerhouse she always was, that long blonde hair never letting her down.
She's also successfully diversified into other media, including films and TV shows, and proved to the world that her acting is as good as her profile. From Richie Rich to Love Actually, the German has surprised many with her emotional range and comic timing. And let's not forget those aerobics videos, either. These days, she's ditched magician David Copperfield - who she assisted then married back in the 90s - and has been happily married to director Matthew Vaughn since 2002.
