Natalia Polevshchikova (Russian: Наталья Полевщикова), generally shortened to Natasha Poly (born July 12, 1985), is a Russian supermodel first discovered after winning a model search competition in Moscow prior to her professional career beginning in 2004.

Early Life, Discovery, and Breakthrough
Natasha was born on July 12, 1985 in Perm, Russia. Her modeling career started in 2000, modeling in Russia and local areas. Her runway debut was at the SS04 Emanuel Ungaro show. Her big breakthrough was at the FW04 shows. She walked for a total of 54 fashion shows, in cities like Milan, Paris, and New York City.

Poly has appeared in many ad campaigns, including Gucci, Lanvin, Louis Vuitton, Roberto Cavalli, Sonia Rykiel, Nine West, and Dolce & Gabbana, and has also walked the runway for brands such as Balenciaga, Alexander McQueen, Chanel, Gucci, Versace and Victoria's Secret. She has been on the cover of Vogue ten times, including the editions for Russia, Hellas, and Paris, all in September 2007; the year also saw Poly as the only female model in Gucci's "Indy" bag campaign.

In 2008, she appeared in seven ad campaigns through the fall/winter 2008-2009 season (Nina Ricci, Jill Sander, Blumarine, Balmain, Cos, Tse, and Givenchy) and opened numerous runway shows in the spring/summer 2009 season, which consequently led to her climbing into third place on the top 50 working models list on models.com.
