Despite troubles and tragedy in recent years—including chronic depression, a suicide attempt, and an arrest—men can easily find several reasons to love Karen Mulder. The Dutch beauty made her name as a 1980s supermodel, alongside other top models like Kate Moss and Tyra Banks.
Born in the Netherlands in 1970, Mulder began her modeling career at age 15, when she won second place in an Elite talent contest. She worked as a fashion model for the big modeling houses like Chanel, Versace, and Valentino. Known as “the blonde with class,” Mulder also made appearances in two “Sports Illustrated” swimsuit issues. And her work as a Victoria’s Secret model made her a household name.

1. The former supermodel is drop-dead gorgeous. A Dutch blonde with blue-grey eyes, Mulder stands 5’10″ tall. According to the “Fashion Model Directory,” her measurements are a sexy 33.5-23.5-34.5 and her sultry lips are another definite attraction.
2. The “ugly duckling” was a swan all along. Mulder was a gawky teen who wore braces. But the dental treatment could not disguise her beauty. When teenaged Mulder noticed a magazine ad for an Amsterdam modeling contest, she immediately dismissed the idea. But a friend entered her into the contest anyway, and she won!
3. A flower by a fashion model’s name is sweet. Do you know that Karen Mulder has a flower named after her? The flower, a tulip, is an appropriate choice—a Dutch beauty for a Dutch beauty.

5. The supermodel is multi-lingual. Karen Mulder speaks six different languages. She is fluent in Dutch, English, French, German, Latin, and Greek.
6. Charity is tops with this fashion model. Charity plays an important role in Mulder’s life. In 1995, she bought a French chateau and established a program to provide holidays for underprivileged children.
7. The lady can act. In addition to her modeling career, Mulder is also an actress. She had starring roles in two French films: Un vol, la nuit” in 2001 and “Le Village des enfoir’s” in 2006. In 1995, the film “Unzipped” featured Mulder as herself.
