Full Veronica Varekova Biography
Veronica Varekova hails from the Czech Republic, and was born in June 1977. She came into the spotlight when she became a model in 1996.
Not only does she have the beauty to have graced the covers of several fashion magazines, but she also has the brains -- Veronica has a degree in Psychology and Education, and is trilingual.
She has graced the covers of magazines such as Marie Claire, Harpers & Queen and Cosmopolitan, but men would probably most remember her for her work in the Victoria's Secret catalogue, stealing the spotlight from fellow goddesses Tyra Banks and Laetitia Casta.
Her work for Victoria's Secret must have prepped her for swimsuit modeling, as she has appeared in the coveted Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition for three consecutive years, including the 2001 edition (along with Yamila Diaz-Rahi and Elsa Benitez). |

Additional Veronica Varekova Biography
Veronika Vařeková (Born: June 19, 1977) is a Czech supermodel. Her name in the English-language press is often given as Veronica Varekova.
Originally from Olomouc, at age 19 she moved to New York City, United States. Initially, she wanted to attend the Parsons School of Design, though she chose modeling instead and was signed by Next Model Management. She moved to Europe after it became clear that she would be more successful there. She is fluent in three languages and has degrees in Psychology and Education. She married hockey star, Petr Nedved, in July 2004, but they separated in the summer of 2006.
Vařeková has appeared in the "swimsuit edition of Sports Illustrated" a total of eight times: 1999-2002 and 2004-2007. She appeared on the cover in 2004. In addition to SI, Veronika was regularly featured in Victoria's Secret but decided not to renew her contract in 2004. She became the face of NIVEA at that time. Other contracts include Guess?, Chanel and Pantene. She was a cover girl for Marie Claire, Harpers & Queen and Cosmopolitan. Veronika's most recent contract (2003 - 2007) has been with Newport News.
In May 2006 Vařeková claimed that Maxim magazine unlawfully used a photograph of her scantily clad -- in stockings, high heels and naked from the waist up -- on the cover of its June issue. The photo was taken for a British GQ magazine feature on Victoria's Secret last year. Afterward, the photo agency Corbis sold the photos to Maxim. Vařeková says she was never told of the sale, nor was she asked for her permission to do so.
"They put me on the cover without my permission," the model told reporters. "They have no right to do it."
Vařeková says the photos were fitting for a feature on Victoria's Secret, but "for Maxim, it looks -- to my eyes -- super, super vulgar." |
