Caroline Winberg (born March 27, 1985) is a Swedish model.

Early life

Caroline Winberg was born in Sollentuna, Sweden. Winberg, a tomboy and aspiring professional soccer player in her youth, was en route to soccer training when a scout spotted the 15-year-old and suggested that she consider a career in modeling.¹

Career

Winberg began her modeling career at age sixteen, and a year later was booking local gigs and appearing in promotional spots for regional companies. At seventeen she gained sudden fame, not for appearing in a well-known campaign or fashion show, but for a scandal involving herself and Rolling Stones frontman Mick Jagger. She claimed that the singer, who was 59 at the time, had been harassing her with phone calls after seeing her on the runway. Her parents, Thomas and Camila, even asked Jagger to leave their daughter in peace. The singer denied any such phone calls.² She soon caught the eye of several well-known agencies – including Women Model Management, Why Not Milan and Dominique Brussels – and found herself in campaigns for designers such as Valentino, Versace, Oscar de la Renta, Escada, and Armani. She has also been in campaigns for D&G, Tommy Hilfiger, Adidas by Stella McCartney, Rolex, Chloé,Armani, Ralph Lauren and Neiman Marcus, and has graced the covers of several international editions of Vogue. She appeared in the 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008 and 2009 Victoria's Secret Fashion Shows.
