Cara Delevingne is one of the most in-demand models around right now–for everything from runway shows to ad campaigns to editorials. She’s won over the entire industry with her impressive eyebrows and goofy faces–but apparently there was a time when those qualities weren’t enough to compensate for her “dwarf”-like stature.
“I don’t like to be bored, so I just said, ‘Let’s do something crazy.’”
Amidst the actual circus enviro that was Coach’s annual Summer Party on the High Line, we managed to wrangle in model Chrissy Teigen for a few minutes to talk about her Twitter regrets, her elaborately braided ‘do, and what it’s really like to get interviewed by Oprah.
Oh Luo Zilin, you really didn’t know what you were getting into when you started dating Naomi Campbell’s billionaire ex-boyfriend, did you?
Filming a music video? Vogue shoot? What could it be!?
Twenty-six-year-old model Amanda Murphy, who walked as a Prada exclusive this season and stars in the brand’s campaign to boot, isn’t fazed by her recent ascent to industry fame. “Everything happens for a reason, so it’s just my turn,” she explains.
Besides, Murphy is an accomplished “slashie”–not a model-slash-actress or a model-slash-musician, but a model-slash-radiology-technician. “I had work here [in Manhattan] on Friday, and Friday night, I flew home to work at the clinic on Saturday, and then Saturday after the clinic, I had to run to the airport to work here Sunday,” she says. “That’s the first and only time I’ve had a conflict. You have to spend money to make money and I’m at a growing point, so I’m okay with doing it.”
Murphy also discussed playing with Sasha Pivovarova’s baby backstage, the kindness of Alber Elbaz, and horseback riding.
If there’s one thing we’ve learned from Adam Levine and Leondardo DiCaprio it’s that devoted modelizers will, perhaps inevitably, wind up dating their ex’s friends. Naomi Campbell’s ex-boyfriend Vladimir Doronin has now gone one step further and started dating his ex’s protege, according to the Daily Mail.
Turns out Kate Upton is not “furious” about Victoria’s Secret reusing an image of her from 2011–without so much as a heads-up–on their recent catalog, as a source claimed yesterday. But she’s not exactly jumping for joy either.
Kate Upton may appear in the latest Victoria’s Secret catalog (on the back cover no less), but that doesn’t necessarily mean she’s currently working with the lingerie giant.
Chances are, the photo was taken before Sophia Neophitou, who casts the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show, famously said to the New York Times, “We would never use her. “
If Kate Upton is good enough for Vogue, we guess that means she’s good enough for Victoria’s Secret, too.
To promote Kate Upton’s first-ever Vogue cover, the mag let the social media-savvy model take over its Twitter feed to answer questions live.
Like any good Twitter event, it had a hashtag: #AskKate. And, as you can probably predict, people had some very, um, interesting questions for the model–like, ones involving blimps, kangaroos and zombies.
Upton was a good sport about it all, and even answered some of the stranger questions–though we suspect she may stay away from Twitter for a few days after this. And also possibly change her phone number and the locks on her house.
Read on for the weirdest questions.
If you follow model Chrissy Teigen on Twitter or Instagram, you know she’s hilarious, unfiltered, sassy, and sometimes controversial (just last night she got into a row with followers about “slut shaming”). I can tell you that she’s exactly the same in person.
