Gisele Bundchen, who now goes by just "Gisele?"

Heidi Klum? Perhaps Naomi Campbell, since she's been in the (bad) press so much lately?

Maybe someone from the days of yore, like Christie Brinkley?

Guess again, girls. It's Tyra Banks.

You read that right. The most famous supermodel in the world is none other than Talk of the (talk) Town, Tyra Banks. I myself would never have guessed; I would have thought along the lines of more internationally known models like Cindy Crawford or Elle MacPherson (or Linda Evangelista, with whom I was obsessed for a while as a teenager). Womens Wear Daily actually polled 1800 people to find out who the Top 10 Supermodels were, and also ranked them by what percentage of the group were familiar with the model's name. In order from highest to lowest:

1) Tyra Banks, 78%
2) Cindy Crawford, 77%
3) Christie Brinkley, 73%
4) Naomi Campbell, 67%
5) Kate Moss, 56%
6) Elle Macpherson, 51%
7) Heidi Klum, 46%
8) Rachel Hunter, 45%
9) Gisele Bundchen, 29%
10) Christy Turlington, 28%
