We take a trip down memory lane and take a look back at our top 5 Ugly Betty cameos.

1. Shakira

Colombian she wolf Shakira made a cameo appearance in season four's The Bahamas Triangle episode. The Grammy award-winning singer-songwriter behind 'Whenever, Wherever' and 'Hips Don't Lie' was seen helping out on a fashion shoot in the Bahamas (where Shakira currently lives) when Betty's cover model went AWOL.

2. Salma Hayek

Oscar-nominated Mexican actress Salma Hayek, best known for her roles in Robert Rodriguez movies, guest starred as sultry magazine editor Sofia Reyes. She also exec-produced the series and made a cameo appearance as a TV actress playing a nurse in the fake 'telenovela' scene in the show.

3. Lindsay Lohan

Hollywood bad girl Lindsay Lohan appeared during season three as Kimmie Keegan, Betty's high school 'frenemy.' As manager of Flushing Burgers, Kimmie is Ignacio's boss, but it's when the mean girl gets a job at Mode (thanks to sweet Betty believe it or not) that trouble really starts. Although she gets away with stomping all over Marc and Amanda, whom she treats like her high school clique, Kimmie proves to be no match for Wilhelmina and gets the kiss off from the fashion world PDQ.

4. Gina Gershon

With her striking femme fatale looks, Gershon made a name for herself in high camp classics like Showgirls, Bound and Face/Off. She was perfectly suited then to portray season one's bottle blonde Italian make-up mogul Fabia, a rival even to Wilhelmina's diva crown. The two were bound to clash of course and their verbal sparring reached a catty crescendo when Fabia referred to Willy as 'Wrinkle-mina'. Meow!

5. Victoria Beckham

The former Spice Girl made a pouty appearance as herself in the second season episode A Nice Day for a Posh Wedding. The pun title offered a hint of the plot: Posh was to be Wilhelmina's maid of honour but ended up stealing the real diva's thunder on her big day. Although best known for 90s pop superstardom and as the UK's premier WAG, Posh has also (appropriately enough) carved out a career as a successful fashion designer.
