The icing on the cake for AnaClaudia was when the readers of the UK version of Vogue voted her as "Queen of the Catwalk" in a poll, which says a lot coming from the Brits.
AnaClaudiaMichels is not unaccustomed to globe trotting either, as the green-eyed supermodel has contracts with City Model Management (Paris), Fashion (Milan), Louisa Top Models (Germany), Women Model Management (New York) and she's even stayed faithful to the Mega Agency in Brazil as well.
In addition, Ana has joined many of her countrywomen as a Victoria's Secret model, a hallowed and extremely well-paid gig that only goes to the cream of the modeling crop, proving that despite an influx of Eastern and Western European models, the Brazilian's are still at the top of the tree.
