Linda Evangelista at The Serpentine Gallery summer party in Hyde Park. London, England - 11.07.06

Evangelista is the first non-Hollywood star to feature on the publication's cover in over a year.

Inside, the beauty reveals she never had any aspirations to turn to acting or singing.

She says, "I decided when I was 12 that it's what I wanted to do and I count my blessings that I got to realise my dreams.

"Being a rock star was out of the question. I can't sing. I'm so glad this worked out for me, I do think I know how to be a good model. And I didn't have a plan B in place."
