A Model Whose Covers Became a Television Career

Joanna Krupa's record begins in print. The cover list is long and international — Envy, FHM, Personal, Inside Sport, Stuff, Steppin' Out, Teeze, Shape and Maxim — and the Maxim credits carry specific distinctions: named the Sexiest Swimsuit Model in the World in the magazine, ranked #55 in the 2011 Hot 100, and voted German Maxim's Model of the Year for 2004–2005. Two Playboy covers and lingerie modeling for Frederick's of Hollywood complete a print career built on swimsuit and lingerie work, the most fashion-exposed categories of modeling there are. For a fashion guide, that starting point matters: her public image was made in photographs of clothes — and swimwear — before television entered the story at all, so the blog coverage of what she has been wearing follows a subject whose profession was being photographed in fashion from the beginning.

Television then converted the modeling fame into two different kinds of visibility. As a contestant and performer, she appeared on Dancing with the Stars and, in 2012, joined the cast of The Real Housewives of Miami — reality formats where the participants appear as themselves, in their own wardrobes, rather than in costume. As an authority, she has hosted and served as head judge on Poland's Next Top Model since autumn 2010, which places her on the judging side of the modeling industry in her home country: the former cover model assessing new models. Those two roles — judged and judge, cast member and host — give her fashion coverage an unusual double angle, and the Apparel Search fashion blog posts gathered by the search link on this page track her appearances across both.

Resources on This Page

The resource list links the blog search for Joanna Krupa, her Instagram, Twitter and Facebook accounts, and her IMDb reference page — no separate website or Wikipedia link is listed, a variation on the guide's standard pattern. A further link in her text points readers to the fashion models section of Apparel Search for more on models and modeling. In the J index she is one of the later names in a thirteen-name letter, filed after the three Jessicas and before Julia Stiles, and hers is the J group's clearest modeling-first biography in this batch: a Polish American model whose magazine record came first and whose reality-television career grew out of it.
