City's supermodel has her own star

Mississauga supermodel Daria Werbowy was inducted into Canada's Walk of Fame last night in Toronto.
Fashion Television's Jeanne Beker introduced Werbowy, the 25-year-old from Mississauga who's been on the cover of Vogue 25 times. Now she has her own star. The model, who moved to Mississauga at age three and attended St. Sofia Elementary and Cawthra Park Secondary schools first hit the runway in 2003.
And at the ripe old age of 25, she seems to be preparing to retire from the runway in favour of a career in retail.
Last summer, Werbowy launched a miniature collection of makeup created for Lancôme, available exclusively at Holt Renfrew in Canada. A portion of the proceeds will benefit Centro Espacial Vik Muniz, a charity founded by Brazilian-born, Brooklyn-based artist Vik Muniz.
Shutting down a stretch of Queen Street just east of Etalk's massive film festival party, Canada's Walk of Fame designated their newest stars to Bryan Adams, Frances Bay, James Cameron, kd Lang, the Kids in the Hall, Steve Nash, Michael J. Fox and Werbowy.
The Walk of Fame includes more than 100 Canadian superstars of sports, arts and entertainment.
The 10th annual Canada's Walk of Fame awards will be broadcast tonight on CTV at 7 p.m.
