20+ Photos of Model Actress Brooklyn Decker

Model and actress Brooklyn Decker first became known for her appearances in Sports Illustrated magazine. Aside from a wildly successful modeling career, Decker has also built quite a name for herself as an actress. Check out these photos of the stunning star over the years.

Discovered at Sweet Sixteen

The blonde-haired, blue-eyed bombshell has been making waves in the entertainment industry since the early 2000s. Her first job was posing in prom dresses, designed by Mauri Simone. Talented from the beginning, the new model won an award in 2003, at the Connections Model and Talent Convention.

Modeling for Big Names

Throughout her modeling career, Brooklyn Decker has represented some huge brands. She was in campaigns for Gap, American Eagle, and J.C. Penney, and fronted the Victoria’s Secret 2010 swim collection. As well as appearing in ads, Decker posed in fashion editorials in Teen Vogue, Cosmopolitan, Glamour, and GQ.

With her stunning looks, it’s no wonder the model has also graced the covers of Esquire and Flare, among others. During her time with Sports Illustrated, the model also hosted a 2007 behind-the-scenes TV special.

Brooklyn the Basketball Fan

A massive sports fan, Brooklyn Decker joined the cast of Sports New York to discuss the 2010 NCAA basketball tournament. The model and actress is an enthusiastic fan of the college basketball team, North Carolina Tar Heels. She also supports NFL’s Carolina Panthers.

Considering that she’s such a huge sports fan, it should be no surprise that Brooklyn Decker’s English bulldogs are named after sports icons. One is named Billie Jean — and the other, Bob Costa.

She Says, Z Says

Since she’s an avid sports fan and worked with Sports Illustrated, Decker had a recurring feature on the magazine’s website. The feature, named “She Says, Z Says,” showed the model discussing NFL games with sportswriter and former footballer Paul Zimmerman — known as Dr. Z.

Dr. Z was a regular contributor to the Sports Illustrated website, writing his weekly “Power Rankings” column.
