Born March 1, 1977, in Alicante at Costa Blanca, Spain. Esther signed her first contract with the Take 2 Agency after winning a local competition for a teen magazine. She represented her country in a model search and was sent to South Africa. She then moved to Barcelona on her own to begin working. She moved to New York in 1996, where it took only two days for her to get booked by twenty designers. Her modeling career took off from then on.

When she's not strutting her stuff down the runway, appearing in advertisements, or jet setting to the fashion capitals of the world, she finds the time to involve herself in charity events as well as act in films. Esther made her feature film debut with an appearance in 1999's action/romance The Thomas Crown Affair, starring Pierce Brosnan and Rene Russo.

Esther is definitely a natural beauty, admitting that she doesn't diet or exercise regularly. According to her, modeling has given her the opportunity to travel around the world, although the life of a model can get lonely from all the moving around. She refers to this loneliness by explaining that "the often solitary lifestyle demands an inner strength." Evidently not living in solitude, Esther recently married Dutch model Mark Vanderloo in 1999.
