26. Tricia Helfer

Tricia Helfer is a former model these days. She’s probably better known for her role as Number 6 on the television show Battlestar Galactica. Helfer hails from Canada, and got her lucky break by winning a Ford Models’ Supermodels of the World modeling contest in 1992.

25. Jessica Gomes

Jessica Gomes has one of the most unique heritages of anyone on this list. She is Australian with Singaporean Chinese and Portuguese heritage. She has been modeling since 1998 when she was 13 years old, and has worked for Levi’s Jeans, DKNY, and Victoria’s Secret.

24. Josie Maran

Joise Maran is an American model who has also had some success acting. She has been in films such as The Aviator and Van Helsing, and she also appeared on Dancing With The Stars in 2007, getting kicked off after just one episode. Maran is a bit eccentric, claiming not to believe in marriage (saying “I don’t believe in marriage. I just don’t think it’s necessary in this day and age. I just think if you need to get married, then you’re already distrusting the person. Why do you have to sign something to show your love? You just love, everyday”), and also having her first child in the backyard of her home. Not as an emergency or anything, that was the plan all along. I’m guessing that was a weird day for the neighbors.

23. Izabel Goulart

Izabel Goulart is yet another Brazilian model on our list. She was a Victoria’s Secret angel from 2005-2008 and now works for Armani Exchange. Unbelievably the other children made fun of Goulart growing up, calling her “Giraffe”. Her career got off to a rocky start with a wardrobe malfunction in her very first runway appearance, but she seems to have recovered pretty nicely.

22. Daniella Sarahyba

Daniella Sarahyba comes from modeling stock. Her mother was also a model, and appeared with a three day old Daniella on the cover of Brazilian parenting magazine Pais & Filhos. Sarahyba’s career seems to just be ramping up; she’s appeared in every SI Swimsuit edition since 2005.

21. Tyra Banks

Tyra Banks gets a lot of hate these days from guys who are irritated (and defensibly so) by her talk show, so it’s easy to forget what a goddess she was back in the late 90′s and early 00′s. She was the It girl when it came to Sports Illustrated Swimsuit editions, and I can remember her posters being positively iconic. You can’t stay hot forever though, which is why I can’t blame Tyra for having other aspirations and moving on from being eye candy. It definitely is irritating, but I prefer to remember her in her prime.
