Showstopping supermodel Maggie Rawlins is one of those rare women who’s as beautiful on the inside as she is on the outside. Her features are soft and angelic; shimmering flaxen hair framing rosy, pillowy lips and mesmerizing lash-fringed green eyes. Paired with her perfect curves that could only have been modeled on Venus herself, Rawlins is the epitome of perfection.

As you’d expect from a sweet southern belle from Greenville, South Carolina, this blonde bombshell is as humble and lighthearted as they come. There’s a delightfully mellow aura about her that’s warm and inviting, making her that much more magnetic. And you can tell from her quiet elegance that there’s nothing artificial about her.

In her Instagram feed, she brings to her 260,000-plus fans the things she values most in life: Her friends, family, and her two dogs. With the addition, of course, of the occasional and very welcome steamy bikini picture.

Years of experience in the modeling industry have shaped her cherubic visage, but Rawlins is more than just a pretty face. She’s a woman of many talents, who, before finding fame as a model, found joy in nursing—and was no doubt one of the most stunning the medical field has ever seen.

“I graduated from nursing school, passed the NCLEX, and landed my dream job in Charleston as a hematology-oncology nurse,” she says of her pre-modeling days. It’s hard not to imagine her sending patients’ pulses racing with a simple smile. “My grandmother was a nurse and I always admired her for that. As a kid I loved the stories she would tell us. I think she was the one who initially inspired me to go on to nursing.”
