I vote no. Look at that last picture – she doesn’t know what to do with her face!

I second that. I don’t care who her parents/grandparents are or how hard she works. No. No, no, no.

why not.. she has little or no credentials like so many others. What makes her not and other lost society waifs the real deal. She takes a good picture and that’s more than can be said for others.

Is she a model? Yes.
Is she a model in the sense of Naomi or Coco or Lara or Natasha? No.
Is she an heiress that takes her fashion career seriously and doesn’t use it as a means to get her face splashed across every glossy (a la Paris)? Yes.
Whether she has the beauty, the name, the zeal, etc. — she is a model.

She’s definitely a model.
Just not a good or interesting one.

i actually think she’s really unattractive.

I completely agree with 5. She’s trying, just not succeeding to the level we usually uphold good models. Also, she is make several unattractive faces in this shoot, like she doesn’t know what to do with it.

No. She’s stiff and uninteresting. She hasn’t yet developed a capacity to pose, to express, to convey, or to look natural in front of a camera. Just look at picture number 3. If she wasn’t in a gown, I would think from the way she’s holding her body and her facial expression that she’s being worked hard at the gym and is two seconds away from completely collapsing out of that position from fatigue.
And what’s with flashing your bum in nearly ever picture? Now there’s something that you have to have a certain grace and ability to do correctly, lest you come across as a gratuitous celebrity, artlessly flashing your parts for attention. She needs an acting/modelling class to improve herself if she wants this for real, and she certainly seems like she does.

WOW Fashionista seriously?WTF is up with your constant bashing posts about this girl?Did she piss some of your staff member off? Stole the bf, whatever?Just get OVER IT!!!!
She is a model, she has been on the covers of German, Italian Vogue, and many many more over the last few years, so STFU about this alredy, she IS a model!!!

Nobody asked whether or not she was a good model- just if she was one. Which she is

Please, enough with the constant barrage of Lydia Hearst posts. No. One. Cares. Post eds that are actually interesting.

omg she’s ugly, look at the second pic!!! AHHHHHHHHHH

No. Bitch is not attractive. At all.

yes she is a model. and I have to say, has a good body. I wish my butt looked like that, sorry I will admit it. Whatever her name is, who cares!!! It is a cool shoot

whether she’s a good one or not, she IS a model…
i don’t know why you guys are so obsessed with bashing her… seriously, it’s kinda annoying how you guys questioning whether she’s a model or not every 3 days.

WOW Guest 10 seriously? Is Lydia Hearst your sister, did she adopt you from an African orphanage when you were a child and taught you everything you know today? Why so aggressively defensive?

uummm, no..she’s too big…put hanna gaby in there instead.

uummm, no..she’s too big…put hanna gaby in there instead.

Hey, why does the orphanage have to be African? Yeesh :)

I haven’t seen enough of her work to decide one way or the other, but whoever decided that the second one and the last one should be published demonstrated terrible judgment.
