In the summer of 2007, a very besotted-looking Tyrone Wood (son of Rolling Stones rocker Ronnie) arrived at a gallery preview in London toting a lithe, glowing piece of arm candy. The babe in question? A little-known Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, from Devon.
No… they didn’t get married, but they did put on a sickeningly united front at the 2008 wedding of Tyrone’s big sister Leah Huntington-Whiteley almost upstaged the bride in this peach-hued ensemble.
A few stylish invites started landing in Rosie’s letterbox. She lit up proceedings at a Louis Vuitton dinner in London.
But it was in 2009 that things really started to go Rosie’s drop-dead gorgeous way. At the Elle Style Awards in February she looked delighted to be scooping the ‘Model of Year’ Award.
She quickly honed a real skill for showing the fashion world just what she was made of – involving revealing but tasteful dresses, such as this draped Gucci design.

And then bam! A contract to be a Victoria’s Secret ‘Angel’ promptly followed catapulting the Devonborn beauty to global fame.
Further lingerie-clad assignments followed, such as a job the ‘face’ (and body, of course) of high street retailer Monsoon’s first underwear line.
Her global domination continued as she notched another coveted modeling job: the 2010 Pirelli calendar.
