Evangelista, 57, is still revered as one of the greatest models of all time by those within the industry, and she has been called "the supermodel's supermodel."
In addition to modeling, she has gotten involved with Erasa, an anti-aging skin care brand.
In October 2006, Evangelista gave birth to her son, making headlines around the world for refusing to name the father publicly. Five years later, in 2011, she identified the child's father for the first time: François-Henri Pinault, who'd married Salma Hayek in 2009.
In September 2021, Evangelista revealed the reason she'd withdrawn from public life. Five years prior, she'd undergone cryolipolysis, which is a fat-removal procedure, but due to complications, it had the opposite effect.
On Instagram, Evangelista wrote she had been "brutally disfigured" by the process, and added she had become a "recluse." She filed a $50 million lawsuit against Zeltiq Aesthetics, who did the procedure. The case was later settled.
