The multi-talented, multi-cultured Dutch model Chelina Manuhutu is easily our latest obsession.  Standing at 6′ tall and sizing up at 33-25-36, this dark-haired dame is well known in her own country, but not yet widely followed on the international scene.  Complex Magazine featured Miss Manuhutu, the first magazine to do so stateside, so we felt it was our responsibility to carry that torch.  If you haven’t yet heard her name or seen her work, now is your chance.  Hit the jump for 12 glorious photos of Chelina in her vibrant, playful glory…  When you’re done there, be sure to check our archives of StyleCrave’s coverage of beautiful women.

Another week, another Brazilian Bombshell leaves her Portuguese paradise behind to enter the world of modeling.  While this model could have been around for years, it is the first we’ve heard of Miss Amanda Brendao.  Brendao has been popping up here and there this week, with a shoot for Vogue France on its way as well as this one, where Miss Brendao is a bit more… friendly with her wardrobe.  In this shoot for Calzedonia Swimwear, Amanda Brendao shows off her talent quite blatantly– namely her 32-23-35 figure.  While those angles may trend on the subtle side, we certainly don’t mind looking.  More of Amanda Brendao after the jump…

Israeli model Bar Rafaeli may be best known for her off-camera romance with actor Leonardo DiCaprio, but her own body of work commands plenty of respect.  Miss Rafaeli has appeared in magazine, print ads and runways throughout the world, including a cover feature for the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue.  Beyond modeling, Rafaeli has also made strides to develop a film and tv career, although neither have taken off in the same manner as her work in fashion.  We’ve got plenty more on Bar Rafaeli after the jump, so feel free to spare a little time to get to know her look even better…

This Tuesday, we featured a photoset with Estonian model Tiiu Kuik that ended up receiving mixed reviews.  Some had emailed us demanding more, others requested that Miss Kuik have herself a few burgers before her next photoshoot.  So since Tuesday, StyleCrave editor Mike Payne (yours truly) hopped a quick trip to Estonia, took Miss Kuik out for a few burgers, a few laughs, and headed back to the hotel room to shoot this pictorial.  We’re still a few substantial meals away from a healthy figure for Tiiu, but I doubt anyone will complain about these pictures here.  Enjoy, StyleCravers, if any of you are in Estonia any time soon, look this lovely lady up.  She’s a blast.

Lara Stone has been quite the sensation over the last few years.  The “it girl” of the modeling world has been in high demand from most every fashion magazine and clothing line in business today.  Here Miss Stone is featured in Vogue UK, in one of the rare editorials where she remains fully clothed (gasp!).  If you’re new to the 25-year-old German stunner, why don’t you take a moment to get acquainted in the gallery below?

While North Korea dominated the headlines for launching other types of vehicles, South Korea was busy last week with the annual Seoul Motor Show, where a handful of new auto models where debuted alongside a slew of better looking models, many of which appear to be more than a handful.

Car blog Jalopnik rounded up the highlights from the April 3 – 12 show, which brought to light Hyundai’s entry into the hybrid market, the BLUE-WILL concept car. The four-cylinder gas/electric hybrid has plug-in capability, a Prius-like drivetrain and headlight bezels made from recycled soda bottles.

Also introduced was Kia’s first production hybrid, the LPI. Built under Kia’s Eco-Dynamics brand, the car is expected to have 124 HP and get around 41 MPG thanks to a battery built by LG Chem, the Chevy Volt battery supplier.

But Jalopnik found a flickr page that rounded up a gallery of the Korean auto models with lines, curves and body styles far better than those on any Hyundai. [via jalopnik]
