We allknow that the world of beauty contests and fashion never meet but there are very successful models that got to the top of the beauty contest world.

Helena Christensen is the most successful example of this. No model before or after her has really gotten to the level that she did. You can make the argument that models these days can't really reach supermodel status like her group did though.

I believe Helena didn't even placed in the Miss Universe competition.
