13 Models Who Prove That Beauty Has No Definition

3. Melanie Gaydos

Some people like to call her “the ugly model”, but this 28-year old model who was born with a rare genetic condition called ectodermal dysplasia is breaking glass ceilings so high birds can’t even reach them. Despite her condition preventing her bones from properly develop and leaving her partially blind, she is a New York City art graduate and a successful model.

4. Viktoria Modesta

Sustaining an injury on her leg the day she was born, this Lativian beauty had to go through 15 operations to fix it… all of them proving unsuccessful. Finally, the only choice left was to amputate the leg. But that hasn’t brought her down, and we think her list of achievements (singer, songwriter, model, performance artist) is amazing.
