New York, Nov 22: After appearing at a shoot for Victoria''s Secret in Miami Beach, Karolina Kurkova became the talk of the town, thanks to her looks, curves – and a missing belly button. Now the ‘navel’ case has been solved.

According to the stunner’s rep, the missing body part is because of an infant surgery.

"She had an operation when she was an infant," the New York Daily News quoted the rep, as saying.

"It’s a fact and just thank God she''s healthy,” the rep added.

The list was a clear example of globalisation of sexiness as it included ladies from all corners of the world.

Kurkova, 24, who was modelling for the lingerie giant, stood out from among the 35 models in Miami, Florida, as she was the only one who did not have a cleft on her tummy.

“Her belly button is very smooth. But I can assure you she’s not an alien!” the Sun quoted Kurkova’s agent Karen Diamond as saying on November 17.

And even though there is no cleft, the model still looked charming.
