Who is Nikki Taylor<\/h2>\n

Niki\u202fTaylor isn\u2019t just a supermodel<\/a>\u2014she\u2019s a Guinness World Record\u2013holding super\u2011seller. At 16, she locked in a six\u2011figure contract (yes, while most of us were still locking our diaries), and a few years later she pulled the unheard\u2011of hat trick\u2014well, six\u2011trick\u2014of landing the covers of Vogue, Allure,\u202fElle,\u202fSelf,\u202fShape, and\u202fMarie\u202fClaire\u202fall in the very same month.\u00a0 Entertainment\u202fWeekly cheekily dubbed the feat \u201cNiki Six,\u201d and no one has beaten it since.<\/p>\n

Need more name\u2011dropping? She\u2019s appeared on more Seventeen and Allure covers than any other model ever.\u00a0 She even flew to Hong\u202fKong in 1997\u2014during the dramatic British\u2011to\u2011Chinese handover\u2014to strut as the first (and only) supermodel at Chinese Fashion Week. Back home, Nashville tapped her as cultural ambassador for its \u201cVisit\u202fMusic\u202fCity\u201d campaign, because who better to sell a town than the woman who can apparently sell anything?<\/p>\n

\"Niki<\/a><\/p>\n

And sell she does. Marketers talk about the \u201cNiki effect\u201d\u2014her face alone has moved billions of dollars\u2019 worth of products, sparked entire multi\u2011year ad blitzes, and bumped magazine newsstand sales.\u00a0 Her calendars?\u00a0 Instant best\u2011sellers\u2014and the only supermodel pin\u2011ups Wal\u2011Mart ever stocked, a feat in retail diplomacy.<\/p>\n

Bottom line: if Niki Taylor\u2019s image is on it, expect it to fly off the shelves.<\/p>\n

Her Early Life<\/h2>\n

Niki Taylor was born on March 5, 1975, in sunny Fort Lauderdale, Florida.\u00a0 She grew up in nearby Pembroke Pines, where her dad, Ken, worked as a highway patrol lieutenant and her mom, Barbara, was a photographer.\u00a0 Niki attended Cooper City High School, balancing the usual teenage life with what would soon become a skyrocketing modeling career.<\/p>\n

Career Journey<\/h2>\n

Niki Taylor\u2019s modeling journey took off when she was just 13. After signing with Irene Marie Models in South Florida, she met photographer Jean Renard, who quickly saw her potential and became her manager.\u00a0 Not long after, Niki won the Fresh Faces contest in New York City, along with a $500,000 modeling contract\u2014an extraordinary start for a teenager from Florida.<\/p>\n

By 14, she had already landed her first magazine cover with Seventeen (August 1989).\u00a0 A year later, she made headlines again by gracing the cover of Vogue, becoming the second-youngest model ever to do so at just 15\u2014only Brooke Shields<\/a> had done it younger.<\/p>\n

In 1991, that same 15-year-old with the all-American charm and dazzling smile made her runway debut in Paris for Thierry Mugler, wearing a dramatic latex silhouette alongside supermodel legends.<\/p>\n

At 16, Niki made history again, becoming the youngest person ever named one of People magazine\u2019s Most Beautiful People.\u00a0 Then came the contract with CoverGirl\u2014she was the first spokesmodel under 18 to sign such a major deal, and she quickly became the fresh face of their national campaign.<\/p>\n

Her face soon became a fixture in advertising, appearing in campaigns for powerhouse brands like Thierry Mugler, Escada, Liz Claiborne, Jean Paul Gaultier, Versace, Anne Klein, L’Or\u00e9al, Gap, Lee Jeans, and Pantene.\u00a0 At one point, she even had six billboards in Times Square at the same time\u2014three of them stayed up all year long, a record still untouched.<\/p>\n

Then came May 1996.\u00a0 In an unprecedented media moment, Niki appeared on the covers of six major American fashion and fitness magazines in the same month\u2014Vogue, Elle, Allure, Marie Claire, Self, and Shape.\u00a0 The press called it the “Niki Six,” and it became one of the most iconic moments in modeling history.<\/p>\n

Niki also made waves in the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue, appearing in the 1997 and 1998 editions and on the cover of the 1998 swimsuit calendar.\u00a0 Sports Illustrated even released three special behind-the-scenes video features of her swimsuit shoots: one with Naomi Campbell in 1997, another with two models in 1998, and one solo spotlight in 1999.<\/p>\n

After a break from the spotlight, Niki staged an impressive comeback in 2016.\u00a0 She returned to fashion with features and covers in Paper, Flaunt, British Vogue, Harper\u2019s Bazaar, and American Vogue, and modeled for designers like Marc Jacobs and Jennifer Fisher.\u00a0 In 2017, she was back on the best-dressed lists in Vanity Fair, Vogue, Hello!, and WWD.<\/p>\n

In a full-circle moment, Niki returned as the face of CoverGirl in April 2021\u2014more than two decades after first representing the brand.\u00a0 It was proof that true icons never go out of style.<\/p>\n

Facts and Trivia<\/h2>\n

On April\u202f29,\u202f2001, life threw Niki Taylor a plot twist worthy of a soap opera: a car crash in Atlanta.\u00a0 Her boyfriend at the time, Chad\u202fRenegar, looked away to answer his cellphone, lost control, and slammed into a utility pole.\u00a0 Niki was belted in, but the impact was brutal\u2014collapsed lung, damaged liver, and a spine now held together by two steel rods.\u00a0 She spent six weeks in a coma and another month stuck in bed, proving once again that supermodels are still very much human (even if their recovery stories read like medical miracles).<\/p>\n

Surviving that ordeal super\u2011charged her passion for wellness. \u201cFitness and wellness aren\u2019t fads\u2014they\u2019re life insurance,\u201d<\/em> she likes to say.\u00a0 Niki now uses her social\u2011media channels to dish out fashion tips, workout routines, and pep talks about living your best life (no runway required).<\/p>\n

\"Niki<\/a><\/p>\n

Before Instagram was even a glimmer, she moonlighted as an on\u2011camera host for Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous, covered red carpets for NBC, and briefly steered the chaos on MTV\u2019s Fashionably Loud.\u00a0 In 2005 she bottled her sunny optimism in a fragrance called \u201cBegin by Niki Taylor\u201d and launched the Begin Foundation for the Advancement of Women in Business\u2014because why stop at smelling great when you can also empower entrepreneurs?<\/p>\n

Fast\u2011forward to 2011, and Niki joined The Celebrity Apprentice.\u00a0 She crushed the first task, netting $35,000 for the American Red Cross, but was memorably \u201cYou\u2019re fired!\u201d two weeks later (hey, even icons get board\u2011room booted).\u00a0 She still popped back in to help the guys\u2019 team on a later episode\u2014because teamwork, people.<\/p>\n

Love life? Buckle up: Niki met NASCAR driver Burney\u202fLamar at an autograph session in January\u202f2006.\u00a0 Three dates later, they were engaged.\u00a0 They tied the knot on December\u202f27,\u202f2006, at La\u202fJolla\u2019s Grande Colonial Hotel, asking guests to skip the gravy boats and donate to Victory Junction Gang Camp for chronically ill kids instead.\u00a0 Fast cars, fast love, and an even faster recovery\u2014that\u2019s Niki Taylor\u2019s kind of speed.<\/p>\n
