Contributor on ABC Television Network’s “The View.”

Molly Sims is recognized for her work as an actress, model, active humanitarian and author. She is often noted for her savvy sense of style and fashion, which she showcases on her website, MollySims.com. The site offers readers original content on everything from beauty and fashion, to health and wellness and everything in between. Sims recently added author to her list of credits with her book, The Everyday Supermodel: My Beauty, Fashion, and Wellness Secrets Made Simple, which was released in January 2015 and reached the New York Times bestseller list. The book shares tips she has picked up throughout her career and is the ultimate girl’s guide to everything fashion, fitness, beauty, and lifestyle.

As an actress, Sims has successfully transitioned from supermodel to thespian. She recently guest starred on “Men At Work” and played the manipulative Delinda Deline for 5 seasons on the hit television series, “Las Vegas.” In addition to her successful television career, Sims has also appeared on the silver screen in feature films including the 2008 hit, “Yes Man” starring Jim Carrey, “Fired Up” with John Michael Higgins in 2009, “The Benchwarmers,” produced for Revolution Studios by Happy Madison Productions’ Adam Sandler and Jack Giarraputo, and “Starsky & Hutch” in 2004. Sims also hosted Lifetime's competition series "Project Accessory," an eight-episode, hour-long series with 12 aspiring artists vying to break new ground in the world of accessories.

Sims’ acting career began to soar after she landed the coveted role as host on MTV’s “House of Style.” In addition to her contract with MTV at the time, Sims gained even more recognition after signing an exclusive, multi-year contract with CoverGirl Cosmetics, joining an elite group of spokeswomen. Furthermore, the Southern beauty gained even more attention as the ultimate celebrity icon from her Old Navy commercials and, of course, her sultry images in Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue four years consecutively.

A native of Murray, KY, Sims attended Vanderbilt University with aspirations of becoming a lawyer until her roommate urged her to submit several photos to modeling agencies in New York. Before she knew it, NEXT Models signed Sims and thus kicked off her modeling career. Shortly thereafter, she graced the covers of Mademoiselle, French and Spanish Vogue, Tear Sheet, French Cosmopolitan and British Marie Claire. Throughout her modeling career, Sims has worked with some of the most prestigious photographers in the fashion world, including Carter Smith, Michael Thompson and Raymond Meier.

Perhaps most recognized for her images on the cover of the internationally renowned Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue 2001 throughout Europe, Sims is also admired by the corporate world. She has been featured in advertising campaigns for CoverGirl, Jimmy Choo, Old Navy, Michael Kors, Victoria’s Secret, M&Ms, Nautica, Armani, Chanel and H&M.

Although her full time residence is now in Los Angeles, Sims spends much of her time in New York City—the city she considers her second home. In her free time, she enjoys hiking, yoga, and of course spending time with her family.
