Yasmeen Ghauri (born March 23, 1971 in Montreal, Canada) is a Canadian model of mixed descent born to a German mother and a Pakistani father. She is best known as a Victoria's Secret Angel and was admired as a great runway model.

Yasmeen became the sweetheart of the New York and Paris fashion scene. She enjoyed fame in the early 1990s when she landed her first major cover with Elle in January 1990. Soon afterwards, she became the face of both Chanel and Jil Sander. By the end of 1990, she had appeared twice on the cover of French Elle in July and December. In September, she graced the catwalk for Gianni Versace's show in Milan and by the next month she was walking for Chanel, Helmut Lang, Jean Paul Gaultier and Lanvin shows in Paris. Her success was duly noted and she became the face of Christian Dior and Anne Klein in 1991. In January alone, she was photographed by Steven Meisel for the cover of Italian Vogue and appeared in the Harper’s Bazaar editorial. Towards the end of the year, she appeared in the British and the Italian Vogue editorials. Photographer Patrick Demarchelier who photographed her for the Italian issue called her his favourite subject.[3]

1992 was to be her year in modelling when she landed a contract with Victoria’s Secret and became a face of Valentino couture and Versace. Later she walked the controversial Gianni Versace 'Bondage' show in Milan which made fashion critics take serious note. Demarchelier photographed her again with Walter Chin for the Italian Vogue towards mid-1992.

Yasmeen became the face of Hermès and Lanvin in 1993 and was photographed by Gilles Bensimon for Elle. Her most controversial appearance followed in May 1994, when she did a feature for Playboy. Soon after appearing on the covers of the Italian Marie Claire, British Vogue and then Harper's Bazaar, she appeared in the documentary Unzipped by Isaac Mizrahi on August 11, 1995. She later walked the 1996 annual Victoria’s Secret show as well as the spring Christian Dior, John Galliano and Jean Paul Gaultier shows in Paris to retire in 1997.
