Our Favourite Irish Top Models
Ireland is blessed with some of the hottest women around. From the Rose of Tralee and Miss Ireland competitions, to the many gorgeous models storming the top agencies around the country, to our magnificent on-screen talents, we just can't get away from their pretty faces and we DON'T want to. Here are our current favourites!
16. Amanda Byram
We simply couldn't leave this woman out. And she's still single lads, or so we think? She started off presenting on Irish TV and modeling her fantastic body. Amanda made a big name for herself co-presenting the British TV show Total Wipeout alongside Richard Hammond.
15. Cara Spillane
Gorgeous blonde Cara is from Cork and also signed with Assets Model Agency. Hailing from Cork, we felt that we couldn't leave this girl out. Representing for her Munster fans!
14. Sara Kavanagh
This 21-year-old model has appeared on the Irish scene and is signed up to the Andrea Roche Model Agency. She has trained with some of the top international make-up artists and is the creator and owner of MudPie Beauty Boutique in Dublin's Dundrum Town Centre.
13. Lucy Evangelista
Miss Northern Ireland 2005, Lucy has recently landed her acting debut in a pilot television series alongside Elizabeth Hurley and William Moseley. Keep an eye out!
12. Sinéad Noonan
This top model grew up in Dunboyne, Co Meath and earned a first class degree in Speech and Drama. She used her great looks and interpersonal skills to become Miss Ireland 2008.
11. Laura Lacole
Self-proclaimed "model of the semi-nude" variety, Laura has been modelling since her teenage years and gained a massive following. She won the title of Beach Babe 2011 and has become a strong voice for young women in her industry, taking parts in debates around the UK and Ireland on topical issues in modeling.
10. Nicola Hughes
This young model is signed with Assets Model Agency and has a bright future ahead of her in the industry. We hope to see a lot more of Nicola - keep an eye out for this beauty.
9. Katie Larmour
This beautiful Belfast model was voted FHM's number one 'Holiday Honey' for the UK and Ireland in 2011. She has launched her own swimsuit line and was also Natalie Portman's body stand in the 2010 film 'Your Highness.'
8. Aoife Walsh
Tipperary native Aoife won the Miss Ireland 2013 title and also graduated from Trinity College last year with a Post Grad in education. She has shown that she's not just a pretty face - Aoife also holds an MA in Business Management. She chose to get her education first and try modeling full-time later, so we hope to see more of her now!
7. Kelly Donegan
The former Tallafornia star turned model has now taken on bodybuilding as her latest objective and is achieving all the right results. She has since started running a blog, Kelly's Bikini Brawn, which offers her tips to be in the best all-round physical and mental shape. Single Kelly is loving her newfound vocation and we wish her all the best!
6. Rozanna Purcell
The Miss Universe Ireland 2010 winner is still only 23, but has been on our screens for quite a while. The Clonmel beauty has also appeared on RTE programmes, Celebrity Bainisteoir and Come Dine With Me, which she also won.
5. Rosanna Davison
Rosanna achieved a triple crown in 2003 when she won Miss Ireland, Miss World and Miss World Europe. The Dublin beauty gained huge attention and featured on the cover of Playboy magazine in 2012. From late 2013, Rosanna wowed lucky football fans when she started presenting slots on LFC TV.
4. Hazel O'Sullivan
Making a name for herself as a model in Ireland, Hazel went on to become a premiere walk-on girl for professional darts events. The former Big Brother housemate has made the move over to London, where she has been dating Tottenham Hotspur's Andros Townsend. We really hope to see more of Hazel.
3. Tiffany Stanley
Ireland's sexiest blonde, 'Tiffles' has recently moved to LA to try and crack Hollywood's acting scene. She has featured on the covers of Ireland's top publications over the years, as well as TV shows such as Republic of Telly, Ireland AM and Exposé. We wish Tiff the best and will certainly be keeping an eye out in her stateside pursuit!
2. Nadia Forde
Model, actress and singer, Nadia Forde has tried her hand at many occupations and achieved success in them all. She has filmed her reality TV show in Hollywood last summer as she tries to break the LA scene. The gorgeous Irish model made FHM's '100 Sexiest Women in the World' for 2014. Keep an eye out for Nadia!
1. Georgia Salpa
She's the model we all love! The Greek-Irish model grew up in Killiney in Dublin and has increased her profile ten-fold in the last three years. Georgia has made several appearances on The Republic of Telly with her feud with Jennifer Maguire, and became immediately recognisable across the water when she featured on Celebrity Big Brother. We don't think anybody can disagree that Georgia tops our list!
