A supermodel is a highly elite fashion model who has attained celebrity status. They are highly paid fashion models who have a worldwide reputation and background in haute couture and commercial modeling. The term "supermodel" became popular in the 1990s, but it has been used in various contexts since the late 1800s. The term is generally related to wealth and fame, and supermodels earn huge amounts of money and are household names. Supermodels usually work for high-end brands and on the runway, and they are known for their confidence and business skills. In contrast, normal models are more able to live their lives day to day without being chased in the street by paparazzi or mobs of fans. Catalogue, parts, glamour, and fitness models are not considered supermodels because they are not as well-known and do not earn as much money.
