Fashion Model of the Year: Noah Mills

There was no escaping Noah Mills in 2010. He appeared in magazines, on billboards, in television commercials, and on the big screen banging Samantha Jones in Sex and the City 2. Though the SATC sequel was not well-received by critics, Mills' brief role was memorable enough to turn him into an international sex symbol. And while the Baltimore native plans to continue acting (his goal is to become a "leading man"), he's still giving good face, and has already shot 2011 fashion campaigns for Lacoste and Dolce & Gabbana. But Mills' super successful year was not solely what earned him the Golden Iris. It was also his easy-going masculinity, which has become a template for a new breed of manlier men working the runways. And in a few years time, don't be surprised if Mills is a model-turned-actor, rather than a model-slash-actor. Just like Channing Tatum.
