Gone are the days when modelling was just about having a pretty face. Supermodel Rosie Huntington-Whiteley says a lot is expected from supermodels nowadays.

Huntington-Whiteley, 26, has been in the fashion world for almost a decade now.

"There's more engagement. You're no longer this one-dimensional image. It's more expected now for supermodels to be smart, to have opinions, to have a personality," The Observer magazine quoted Huntington-Whiteley as saying.

She says that when she started her career at the age of 16, she never got any kind of guidance.

"I felt that there was never anything for me, no workshops, no people letting you know how you should be eating or what you should be wearing to castings," said Huntington-Whiteley.
