2014's most google model...surprised?

GOOGLE has released its list of the most searched terms of 2014 - and there are a few surprises but also, predictably, a few expected results. Jennifer Lawrence was the year's most Googled celebrity, followed by Kim Kardashian - both of whom were "breaking the internet" with varying degrees of complicity. Other no-brainer additions to the list include Amal Alamuddin (who married George Clooney in September), Matthew McConaughey (who won the Best Actor Oscar in February) and Julie Gayet (the French actress who became the world's most famous "other woman" in January when French president Francois Hollande was pictured leaving her apartment).

More straightforward trend searches focused on items of clothing - from over-the-knee boots and full skirts to capes and culottes - and on fabrications, including mesh, tartan and suede.

Alexander Wang, Oscar de la Renta and Valentino were all beaten by 19-year-old American vlogger Bethany Mota. After gathering a following on her YouTube channel giving styling tips and her fashion purchases, Mota launched her own fashion line with Aéropostale helping her qualify for the prestigious designer search categor2014's most google modely
