Taylor Momsen of Gossip Girl fame just got signed to IMG models.
This make her one of the youngest girls on the roster, since Taylor is fourteen – a year younger than Gemma Ward when she scored her first Prada campaign and leaped from IMG’s development board onto their women’s one.
There’s no denying that Taylor has model looks and model height, but it’s interesting to note IMG’s scooping her up so quickly, since she has yet to score any big campaigns or magazine covers.
Expect a big Teen Vogue spread soon, and also probably some sort of Neutrogena / Clinique / Lip Smackers partnership, unless she sails straight past the Dooney and Bourke market and scores some Gap ads.
Also: IMG signed Mischa when she was about sixteen and turned her from a child actress into a sex bomb. It would be silly to think that isn’t also their strategy here.
Stay tuned!

sounds good!
how tall is she?
except mischa barton looks 30 and taylor momsen looks 9…
She looks pretty tall, but imdb reports she is only 5′ 4¬Ω”
Oops. Online sources alternate between 5′ 4¬Ω” and 5′ 7¬Ω”…
in terms of her height, i’d say the latter. on GG, when she’s walking down the hallway with friends, she CLEARLY towers over them.
i’m excited 2 see what IMG will do with her.
Taylor is gorgeous, but I never expected her to be picked up. I also didn’t realize she was only 14?! WOW.
I’d rather see her as the new face of Chanel (Sorry, Emma).
Yay! I’ve always liked Taylor
oo this is a smart move by IMG. they snatched her up before someone else does. i think she could could definitely have a future in modeling.
mischa is soooo hargard
She’s been “famous” for awhile now so I’m pretty sure that 5’4 1/2″ is an old height. Afterall, she’s around the age girls start shooting up in height.
seriously, what’s her real height? almost all websites i’ve found on her report her being only 5’4”, that’d be 4 inches under the usual runway minimum.
If she’s almost 15, she still may be growing a little bit.
She’s only 14, she’ll probably grow a few more inches. Good signing by IMG, Taylor is gorgeous.
She’s gorgeous, but in no way fit to be a model.
She’s not pretty at all. Sorry Taylor.
Off topic old-lady rant:
why does this child look older than me? I was 12 when she was born, for crying out loud! My itty bitty baby sister is two years older than her!!
14 year olds these days freak me right out. At 14 I still hid my body under baggy tshirts, cardigans and skater pants, because I was still coming to terms with my body. These girls are not only comfortable with their body, they’re have so mastery of their bodies that they can pull off glamorous and sexy (which is not an adjective that should be used to describe a 14 year old, by the way!).
Hm, she’s a cute girl but I don’t look at her and see ‘model.’ It’ll be interesting to see what they do with her!
i hope she doesn’t go the mischa barton route. taylor has actually done quite a few films i’m hoping she’ll go that route and not just be the poster girl for every brand there is.
ehh.. i dont really like taylor anymore
ALL her pictures on the red carpet (and i mean ALL) look exactly like this -
- curly short hair
- smoky eye
- some random dress(good or bad i dont remember what shes worn)
and the most annoying of all -
THE HEAD TILT.
she ALWAYS has her head tilted to a side and its really annoying.
I think she’s okaaay looking but not interesting at all. She’s sort of average pretty white suburban girl to me. Blech – I see Abercrombie ads.
I thought I noticed she was looking a little on the thin side at the end of last season. It all makes sense now.
According to gossip girl insider, Taylor is 5 ft. 10. She has definitely got a model figure though, and not usually expected from a 14 yr old.
taylor is beautiful, but way to young! its disturbing to think designers are put their fashions made for 20-30 year old women on a 14 year old?! welcome to reality 14 is far from 20
I think she would be really good.
she is exactly 5’8″ or 5’9″(173 or 175) but closer to 5’8″
Ugh.
Just because you play an asprining fashion designer with no taste on tv doesn’t mean modeling is the way to go.
And exactly, guest 20, that’s why she’s 14. She has a long way to go to understand style.
she is not model material..sorry but her profile is horrible and she looks very average.to make it you have to look unique. once gossip girls over i think she will fizzle out.
