Erin Heatherton is a blonde-haired, green-eyed model who may be best known for her work since 2008 with Victoria's Secret. Heatherton is said to have been discovered on South Beach while on a trip to Miami as a teenager in 2006. Her first major runway job later came that fall at a Diane Furstenberg show in New York; by the next year she was on the runway in Paris and appearing in ads for Diesel and Dolce & Gabbana. She has also appeared in magazines ranging from Vogue and Marie Claire to Velvet and Mixte.

Heatherton has that lanky look that designers love: her measurements are 34-24.5-34" (that's 86.5-62-86.5cm in metric), according to the Fashion Model Directory. She first appeared in the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show in November of 2008, and has been a regular in the company's stable of models since then. She is known for her "luscious lips and wide, pretty smile," according to Modelinia.
