As 2014 draws to a close, microblogging and social networking platform Tumblr has released its list of the most 'reblogged' models on its website.
Who is the most popular model on Tumblr?
The good folks at the microblogging site gave us the the answer (and 19 more names)!
1. Kendall Jenner

2. Cara Delevingne
The British supermodel has been making news for all the right reasons lately.
She even featured in Forbes' list of highest-earning models of the year.
So we aren't entirely surprised to see her on this list. Are you?

3. Candice Swanepoel
From being spotted in a flea market to being one of the richest models in the world, Candice Swanepoel has come a long, long way.
The South African model does yoga, walks for Victoria's Secret and has been on the cover of more magazines than she can care to remember.

4. Miranda Kerr
Victoria's Secret? Been there done that!
Being married to Orlando Bloom? Over and done with!
The Australian supermodel now designs tea cups, does a fantastic job modelling for Reebok and ignites fistfights between grown up men. (Ok one grown up man and Justin Beiber!).
Miranda Kerr has had an interesting year so we're kinda surprised to see her as low as number four.

What can you say about Kate Moss that hasn't already been said?
So we won't!

7. Alexa Chung
She juggles several hats.
Alexa Chung is a model, a TV presenter, a journalist (she was made a contributing editor of British Vogue).
She's interviewed Karl Lagerfeld and Christopher Kane among others for it while along the way, writing a book, modelling for several high profile brands and appearing on the cover of practically every major fashion magazine you can think of.
Not bad eh?
