Steven Meisel shot her pictures for the cover. Just as she started her career as model for Victoria&#8217;s Secret, she was voted as &#8220;Model of The Year&#8221; on Vogue.com in the year 2005. The year 2013 was a significantly successful year for her modeling career. In September 2013, she appeared on covers of four international editions of <i>Vogue<\/i>, making her the first model\/celebrity in the history. The September issues are generally regarded as the most important issue of the year for fashion magazines, especially Vogue. She had been featured on a total of 9 Vogue covers, a count more than any other model, just in the year 2013.<\/p>\n<p>Her first film debut was in <i>Nova Zembla<\/i> (2011). She is one of the active members to contribute to Dance4Life, a Dutch non-profit organization that uses song and dance to educate youth about HIV and AIDS prevention. She is also one of the supporters of Wildlife Conservation and World Wildlife Fund.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/Doutzen\">Doutzen on FaceBook<\/a><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-202\" src=\"https:\/\/goutanddesign.com\/wpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Ben-footer-1024x354.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"354\" srcset=\"https:\/\/goutanddesign.com\/wpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Ben-footer-1024x354.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/goutanddesign.com\/wpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Ben-footer-600x208.jpg 600w, https:\/\/goutanddesign.com\/wpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Ben-footer-300x104.jpg 300w, https:\/\/goutanddesign.com\/wpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Ben-footer-768x266.jpg 768w, https:\/\/goutanddesign.com\/wpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Ben-footer-370x128.jpg 370w, https:\/\/goutanddesign.com\/wpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Ben-footer-1040x360.jpg 1040w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<div id=\"toc\" class=\"toc\"><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"border-radius: 2px; text-indent: 20px; width: auto; padding: 0px 4px 0px 0px; text-align: center; font: bold 11px\/20px 'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,sans-serif; color: #ffffff; background: #bd081c  no-repeat scroll 3px 50% \/ 14px 14px; position: absolute; opacity: 1; z-index: 8675309; display: none; cursor: pointer;\">Save<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><span class=\"span-reading-time rt-reading-time\" style=\"display: block;\"><span class=\"rt-label rt-prefix\">Reading Time : <\/span> <span class=\"rt-time\"> 2<\/span> <span class=\"rt-label rt-postfix\">minutes<\/span><\/span>Doutzen Kroes is a Dutch Frisian model and actress.
