Kurková is also known for her unusual navel. Following her Vogue cover, Kurková became recognized at haute couture fashion shows. Prominent fashion houses such as Yves Saint Laurent signed Kurková to contracts, while print campaigns for Tommy Hilfiger, Valentino, Louis Vuitton, John Galliano, Chanel, Christian Dior, Hugo Boss, Versace, H&M, and others helped expose her even more. in the 2002 Victoria’s Secret fashion show, she wore the multi-million dollar fantasy bra, worth almost $10 million and designed by Hearts on Fire. Kurková has a smooth indentation in place of a navel, and photographs are often altered by the addition of an image of a navel to hide this. Kurkova modeled for Bottega Veneta spring 2011 campaign in a classic Hitchcock-esque style. She was a guest judge on the fifteenth season of America’s Next Top Model and fourth season of Germany’s Next Top Model. in September 2010, Karolina guest-starred on NBC’s Chuck season 4 episode, “Chuck Versus the Suitcase”.
