Another honor that Angela experienced in 2001 was being selected as one of the models in that year's coveted Pirelli calendar she, along with Gisele, Aurelie Claudel, and Rhea Durham were photographed in the nude.

Joining the ranks of Niki Taylor and Tyra Banks, the all-American beauty is now also an "Easy, Breezy, Beautiful" Cover Girl for the cosmetics company, as well as the newest face for Tommy Girl.

Not only is she one of fashion's hardest working models, she's one of its most precious faces. She was recently paid $1 million to be featured in Tommy Hilfiger's new underwear line advertisement.
