“You can’t make it as a model because…” Many an aspiring model will have heard these heartbreaking words – remember that Kate Moss was once deemed too short at 5ft 6 to make it on the catwalk – as they dream of a Vogue cover.

Criticism can be harsh, as we’re learning from Naomi on The Face, but there are those models who defy the norm and use what might work against them to their advantage. 

Moffy, the latest signing to Storm, is a prime example. Cross eyes wouldn’t have got you beyond the barriers at Somerset House during fashion week, let alone on the books of one of the biggest model agencies around, but something about Moffy is just, well, beautiful. 

The things others ‘correct’ upon themselves, models can somehow get away with and we can think of nine faces who’ve embraced their quirks and celebrated them. Here they are...

Moles are removed all the time. Not on our Cinders though. Her beauty of a mole has stuck gold and earned her some serious cash along the way.

No orthodontist needed for Georgia May Jagger, her gap-toothed grin is her signature style.

Who’d have thought it? But there’s no denying newcomer Moffy is a real beauty.

The fashion world gasped, and in some cases even choked, when Kristen McMenamy debuted her grey. Now though, it’s her calling card.

Model and actress Kate Bosworth has a rare case of heterochromia iridium, meaning one of her eyes is blue and the other brown. It just makes us stare at her even more.

The model of the moment may be everywhere but objectively speaking, Cara's nostrils are a little on the large side, no? Doesn't seem to have stopped her flying career mind you.

She was bullied at school on account of her expansive forehaed, which she calls her ‘fivehead’, but is there any doubt about Tyra’s beauty? We didn’t think so.

Why cover them up when Lily Cole makes freckles look so god damn beautiful?

Albino model Diandra Forrest is one of the world’s most strikingly beautiful and wholly quirky faces to date.
