Models are without a doubt some of the most beautiful people in the world and they are also those that are given the most attention quite naturally since their pictures and likenesses are up on billboards and ads that are all over the place and everywhere we see. Chanel Iman is one of the many that you might have noticed and is one of the most popular at this time it would seem since she’s been trending for a while and her reputation has been building throughout the years. In terms of how popular she is all you have to do is go look at her social media accounts and take note of how many people are keeping an eye on her comings and goings so that they don’t miss a beat. The life of a model is undoubtedly kind of busy at times and the business seems absolutely cutthroat some days, but many of the models seem to thrive on it.
Here are a few things you might not have known about Iman.
10. Chanel has a very active following on social media.
Like many models she does have a very active following across her social media accounts and people are genuinely interested in what she has to say, show, and generally give them in terms of entertainment and updates.
9. Ironically she’s never modeled for her namesake brand.
That is kind of funny that a person that’s named Chanel has never actually modeled for Chanel. But then again it could have been an opportunity she didn’t want or something that was never offered to her, so c’est la vie.
8. She was the ‘baby angel’ for Victoria’s Secret since she was the youngest at the time.
This seems like a position of esteem and even seems to be something that many models would vie for since Victoria’s Secret is a brand that many upon many women tend to find simply alluring and has been extremely popular for a very long time.
7. Right now it seems like a sexy bikini dance she did for her husband on vacation is trending.
The things that trend online are enough to make a person do a face-palm at times since it has nothing to do with news or even entertainment really but is something that possibly should have been kept as a private video for her husband. But hey, if you want it shouted out across the internet, that’s your business.
6. Chanel started modeling at the age of 12.
She’s been in the business for a while now and is no doubt able to navigate her way through it like a seasoned pro. The idea of being in any business this long anathema to some people, but considering that a lot of models don’t stick with one job for that long it might not be too bad since she would likely have a shoot for one product after another.
5. She’s been featured on TV and in at least one movie.
Chanel has made her way onto the small and big screen for a few outings, but nothing that you might call a career switch since she was kind of there and gone and was moving on soon after. It seems as though it was more for the sake of building her reputation and making sure people knew who she was.
4. Chanel is very skilled on the piano.
In fact she played a number at her own wedding for her husband, which is kind of nice really since a lot of people don’t expect the bride to do as much as anyone else on their special day. But she took it to a new level that was very impressive.
3. She’s very into charity work.
Chanel does enjoy going overseas to help those in need and to give her time and support to those that absolutely need it. A lot of people might think that models don’t do a whole lot but stand in front of the camera and pose, but some of them do in fact contribute much more to the world than their beauty.
2. If she hadn’t gone into modeling she would have become a chef.
This would have been a much different career course and possibly one that was a lot harder since chefs tend to work very long and grueling hours doing anything but applying makeup and posing. Instead, a chef is usually working their butt off to make people happy and offer up a host of culinary delights. So yeah, big difference.
1. She’s married to New York Giants wide receiver Sterling Shepard.
Sometimes it seems that athletes and models go hand in hand doesn’t it? After all look at Tom Brady and Giselle Bundchen and how long they’ve been together. It’s not as typical as a person might think but it does happen.
She’s got a lot more depth than people credit models with.
