Doutzen Kroes (Pronounced Dow-tzen Kroos) is a Dutch model and currently one of the Victoria's Secret Angels.
“Compared with all the other girls, I have big thighs. ”Doutzen Kroes thinks it’s high time the Netherlands received their due. "At the moment I believe that there is a Netherlands wave,” she says enthusiastically . “In the past there were many Brazilian, Belgian and Russian girls. Now the Dutchies are even too!" If the Dutch are finally getting the recognition they deserve, much of the credit deserves to go to Doutzen 
herself. That’s because the Friesland native has been working non-stop for the past two years.
Kroes was born in the town of Eastermar, Province of Friesland, the Netherlands. After graduating high school (HAVO), she sent snapshots to modeling agency Paparazzi in Amsterdam.
Kroes has made the covers of Time, Vogue, Harper's Bazaar, Seventeen, and Numéro. She also appears regularly in the Victoria's Secret catalog and walked the runway of the company's fashion show in 2005, 2006 and 2008. Kroes' campaigns include Gucci, Tommy Hilfiger, Escada, Dolce & Gabbana, Valentino, Versace and Neiman Marcus. In August 2005, she was named spokesmodel for the Calvin Klein "Eternity" fragrance campaign, replacing American actress Scarlett Johansson, and, in
April 2006, she signed a three-year contract with L'Oréal Paris.[citation needed] Kroes can currently be seen in the company's commercials alongside Eva Longoria and Kerry Washington.
In 2005, Kroes was selected as "Model of The Year" on Vogue.com by readers[citation needed] and was featured on the cover of the May 2007 issue with Hilary Rhoda, Caroline Trentini, Raquel
Zimmermann , Sasha Pivovarova, Agyness Deyn, Coco Rocha, Jessica Stam, Chanel Iman, and Lily Donaldson as the new crop of "supermodels." Along with several of these models, she appeared in the 2008 Pirelli Calendar.
In July 2007, earning at an estimated total of $4.9 million in the past twelve months, Forbes named Kroes fourteenth in the list of the World's 15 Top-Earning Supermodels. In April 2008, she soared to the fifth position, with an estimated income of $6 million.
Kroes also is in the official Frisian provincial campaign for the West Frisian language which is her mother tongue.
In 2006, Omrop Fryslân made a documentary about
Kroes. Piter Claus follows Kroes during the fashion week in Milan. The documentary won a NL-Award for best regional documentary.[citation needed]
Victoria's Secret recently confirmed to People magazine that Kroes is the newest Victoria's Secret Angel. Her first campaign as the brand's newest Angel is "Supermodel Obsession", alongside Adriana Lima. She was recently signed to be the new face for Swiss cashmere label Repeat for two years.
