So how did the eighteen-year-old Missourian get VS-ready? "Nothing too crazy—no all-liquid diets for me!" she laughs. "I've been working out with a trainer for the past couple months to tighten and tone. I love to bike and run." There's no question she's on the fast track!

Photo: Jane Keltner de Valle31/36Karlie's good luck token? Her new Chanel bag.
Photo: Jane Keltner de Valle32/36The cameras love Karlie! No wonder she was crowned with the closing spot at this year's Victoria's Secret Fashion show—an honor previously held by such supers as Gisele Bundchen and Heidi Klum.
