Laetitia Casta (born May 11, 1978 in Pont-Audemer, Normandy) She is a French supermodel and actress. On October 19, 2001, she gave birth to her daughter Sahteene. The father is her former boyfriend Stéphane Sednaoui. Casta is engaged to Italian actor Stefano Accorsi. They have one son together, Orlando, born on September 24, 2006. Casta's career reportedly began when she was discovered by a photographer during a family holiday in her father's native Corsica, at age 15.

Laetitia Casta was the official face of L'Oréal, Dior, and Chanel. She has appeared in and on the cover of Victoria's Secret catalogs, ELLE magazine, and Vogue magazine. She was featured in Guess? Jeans and Tommy Hilfiger, XOXO ad campaigns. She also appeared in three consecutive Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue, Rolling Stone, and a Pirelli Calendar.

Laetitia Casta has appeared on over 100 magazine covers and has been credited, along with Tyra Banks, and a few others, with bringing back the notion of the voluptuous models. Casta, whose curvaceousness has been a subject of discussion in the world of fashion, spent her childhood in Normandy and has stated in an interview with ELLE magazine: "I tell people that my breasts are 'Made in Normandy,' from butter and crème fraîche!"

In 1999, Casta came out first of a national survey ordered by the Association des Maires de France to decide who should be the new model for the bust of Marianne, an allegorical symbol of the French Republic, which stands outside and inside every French town hall. Casta succeeded model Inès de la Fressange in this role. Marianne's embodiements are changed relatively frequently but each mayor chooses which bust he wants to use for his town, so past "Mariannes" can be used. Polls have shown that Casta's, Brigitte Bardot's and Catherine Deneuve's busts were the most popular among French mayors.
