The creepiest models in the world: photos. Ugly Models: Fashion Revolution
For a model, the main thing is that the suit “fits.” The figure should be tall, thin, versatile - both a swimsuit and an evening dress should look equally good on it. Someone may consider this type of appearance far from attractive, beauty in general is a subjective thing, but nevertheless, in the mass consciousness, female models have become a standard and an example to follow.
They must be just as universal so that they can be used to draw everything that a fashion designer or designer needs to create the desired image. You can argue for a long time about the beauty or plainness of Kate Moss or Pamela Anderson, but there are faces that cause slight bewilderment in most people. Here are some of ugly models.
– Lindsey Wixson –
19-year-old Lindsey Wixson from Kansas has already worked with such gurus as Alexander McQueen, Donna Karan, Miu Miu, Mullberry, Versace, Marc Jacobs and Chanel. And all this despite a rather large gap between the front teeth and a disproportionate face.
– Alek Wek –
A model that some call a black beauty, while others rank her among the most terrible models in the world, but nevertheless, the African model continues to conquer catwalks around the world and appear on the covers of major magazines such as ELLE. Her appearance is captivating - a mischievous look, charm and a proud gait - this is much more important than the correct facial features.
– Daphne Groeneveld –
The 18-year-old model from Holland has made an excellent career on the catwalk, managed to work with the best fashion houses in Europe, such as Louis Vuitton, Miu Miu, Givenchy, and has starred for Vogue many times. Her image is that of a naively vicious girl with plump lips, blue eyes and golden hair. But is she beautiful?

– Kelly Mittendorf –
Another non-standard appearance in the fashion world. She became the face of the Prada brand, participated in Marc Jacobs shows, and starred for Vogue, So-Eh, and I-D. At the same time, it is unlikely that anyone will consider her a beauty. The contradictory image, shockingness, resemblance to Janis Joplin - these are her strengths.
– Lily McMenamy –
The girl was initially doomed to success thanks to the modeling career of her popular and beautiful mother. At the same time, Lily herself is far from ideal. However, this did not stop her from working with Chanel and Saint Laurent.
They say correctly: don’t be born beautiful, but... find your place in life. And then you will be happy and successful. All these girls ugly models, only once again confirm this simple truth.
– Devon Aoki –
The smallest supermodel in the fashion world, her height is only 165 cm. She was called the best model of the 1990s, along with Kate Moss. And her freckles and chubby cheeks not only did not prevent her from signing contracts, but seemed to attract them. Was the face of Chanel Lancome. U took part in shows Yves Saint Laurent, Versace, Moschino, Fendi, Alessandro Dell'Acqua, Hugo Boss.
– Georgina Stozilkovic –
The Serbian model has a rather elongated face and a large nose, but this did not stop her from being on the covers of ELLE, Foam and Canadian Flair magazine.
Beauty is a relative concept, and its canons sometimes change very quickly. Our review contains photographs nine custom models from around the world, destroying stereotypes and proving that you can be beautiful, desirable and in demand, no matter what.
Girl without a leg - Victoria Modesta
The Latvian singer and model underwent 15 ineffective operations on a leg damaged during childbirth. Soon the leg had to be amputated. But her self-confidence did not diminish. Quite the contrary. She inspires many with her example.
Two meters of beauty - Erica Irwin
35-year-old model from California Erica Irwin, thanks to her height - 2 meters 5 centimeters - is considered one of the tallest and most popular models in the world.
Alien on the catwalk - Masha Telna
Ukrainian model with surprisingly big eyes. She is often called "the alien" and "the fair elf".
Sexy Lily McMenamy
The rising star of the modeling business, to put it mildly, the too unconventional model Lily McMenamy conquered the catwalks of world brands and won a countless number of men's hearts.
Provocative model - Melanie Gaydos
Melanie Gaydos is a German-born art model living in New York. Melanie's unusual appearance attracts photographers and artists. The girl often participates in the most provocative photo shoots, not embarrassed to appear naked. A bald head, lack of eyebrows and eyelashes, a cleft lip - all this creates a bright image that makes a strong impression on others. Melanie became an Internet star after starring in the video for the German band Rammstein's song Mein Herz Brennt (My Heart Is Burning) in 2012.
Appetizing Denise Bidot
The 28-year-old Puerto Rican model is considered one of the most sought-after XXL models. Bidot is proud that she has become a clear example of the fact that you can always be successful and beautiful, for all women heavier than 55 kilograms
Androgynous Casey Legler
This French model became the first to be signed as a man. She advertises men's clothing. Legler's height is 188 centimeters. Short hair, sharp cheekbones and a strong chin make Casey look very much like a young man.
Few people in the world, without the appearance of Miranda Kerr, are completely satisfied with themselves or their figure. If a person had the magical ability to change his appearance, every second person would hasten to change his nose, eye shape, face shape or leg length in order to reach the standards dictated to us by glossy publications and screen stars.
Sometimes an obsession with one's appearance and a simple inability to accept ourselves as nature created us leads to complexes, self-doubt or unnecessary plastic procedures. But wise people know how to turn their shortcomings into features. I propose to get acquainted with the most non-standard models from the fashion world and learn from their example that they will not be embarrassed by their external data.
Devon Aoki
Half Japanese, half German and English, Devon Aoki has used her exotic looks to become her calling card in the fashion industry. With a height of only 165 cm, with a heart-shaped face and freckles, she conquered the world's catwalks and fashion publishing houses. Currently, Devon has collaborated with such brands as Hugo Boss, Moschino, Ungaro and Fendi. For several years in a row, Lancome chose her as the face of their company. In addition, she is considered the muse of the famous photographer Mario Sorrenti.

Candice Huffine
American Candice Huffine, with a height of 180 centimeters, has completely non-model parameters - 96-83-108. But this did not stop the girl from conquering the fashion industry and glossy magazines. Her career began in 2010 with filming in clothing catalogs for plus size women. And in 2011, she already appeared on the cover of the most prestigious fashion magazine, Vogue.
For a long time, Candace was the most successful plus model. As recognition of her achievements in her modeling career, the girl was invited to take part in the filming of the Pirelli calendar, for which only the world's best models are always selected.
Lily Cole
Englishwoman Lily Cole, it would seem, has a completely non-model appearance. She has a round, flat face, thin lips, far-set eyes, freckles and curly red hair.
Lily herself admits that she never felt beautiful and suffered bullying from her peers because of her hair color. But then the girl tried to love herself for who she is and live in harmony with her appearance.
At the age of 14, the girl received wonderful advice: contact a modeling agency and try herself in this industry. As a result, Lily signed a contract with Storm Models.
Now the model works for such global brands as Chanel, Hermès, Longchamp, Cacharel, Topshop, DKNY, Jean Paul Gaultier, Versace, Alexander McQuee, John Galliano and Louis Vuitton, adding the names of new designers to her track record every year.

Lately, the girl has been trying her hand at cinema. She even got the lead role in Terry Gilliam's science-fiction film The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus, where Lily was accompanied by Johnny Depp, Jude Law, Heath Ledger and Colin Farrell.
Marquita Pring
Marquita Pring is another famous American plus-size model who managed to overcome self-doubt and complexes due to excess weight, and achieve success in the fashion industry. If the girl’s mother had not persuaded her 15th daughter to take part in a modeling competition, Markita might have been ashamed of her appearance for the rest of her life.
At a competition in Toronto, they immediately noticed a gorgeous girl with curves 91-83-114 and a height of 180 centimeters, and they offered to move to New York to continue her career.
Marquita took part in the show of Jean Paul Gaultier himself, and also starred for Vogue Italia magazine with the great photographer Steven Meisel.
Moffie
A girl from the UK, named Moffie, has truly model parameters: a slender figure of 91-66-91cm, a height of 173 centimeters, and a beautiful face to boot. But the girl has been cross-eyed since birth, which is why she looks quite remarkable.
She first appeared on the cover of POP magazine on the recommendation of a friend, and the crazy idea turned into her life’s work. Moffie was noticed by the Storm Model agency, which once promoted Kate Moss, and signed a contract with her.
Now the girl is actively filming for various brands and glossy magazines, promoting non-standard approaches to the concept of “beauty.”
Robin Lawley
Australian green-eyed beauty Robyn Lawley knew at the age of 15 that she wanted to become a model. The girl's height is 188 centimeters, her measurements are 99-78-104 cm and her stunning face forced modeling agencies to literally fight for Robin. She is currently represented by agents in New York, Great Britain, France, Milan and Germany.

Lindsey Wixson
American girl Lindsay from Kansas has dreamed of a modeling career since she was 15 years old.

She sent a video resume to models.com, where Lindsay was instantly noticed. She was immediately invited to appear for Vogue Italia, and after the publication of the magazine, designer Miucia Prada commissioned the young model to open the show of her Prada 2010 collection, and later made her the face of the Miu Miu brand.
In 2011 alone, the girl took part in 57 spring-summer shows.
Lindsay currently collaborates with fashion houses such as Mullberry, Anna Sui, John Galliano, Alexander McQueen and Versace.
Lindsay herself claims that she was never embarrassed by her reflection in the mirror and did not try to change it.
Tara Lynn
Tara Lynn Wilson began her career as a Canadian actress, and only at the age of 28 did she become famous as a plus-size model. Now she is considered the most popular curvy model of the 21st century.
The first photo shoot that changed Tara’s life took place in 2010 for Elle and V Magazine. The next day, the girl literally woke up famous and in demand in the fashion world.
According to the model herself, in college she struggled for a long time with complexes about being overweight. But over time, the girl realized that her full body could also be beautiful and sexy. When Tara was able to accept herself for who she is and began to live in comfort with herself, real success came to her.
A line from Lady Gaga's popular song says: "We are all beautiful in our own way, because God makes no mistakes." Don't be shy about your appearance and love yourself, because everyone deserves their own glossy magazine cover!
Nowadays, modeling agencies are increasingly trying to move away from the ideals of beauty imposed on society and invite people with unusual appearance to cooperate. This post will introduce you to such unusual models.
Winnie Harlow is a former contestant on the reality show America's Next Top Model. The girl suffers from vitiligo, a skin pigmentation disorder. However, it was her illness that served as the key to the world of high fashion. At Paris Fashion Week, designers put Harlow first on the catwalk, thus expressing their positive attitude towards her unusual appearance.
In early June, international media discovered Ava Clark. The young model with albinism became a real find for designers. Eight-year-old Ava's parents are African-American. From early childhood, doctors feared for the girl’s health, believing that she would lose her sight. Now the aspiring model is not only completely healthy, but also successful. In addition to fashion photo shoots, the girl also shoots for various social projects dedicated to albinism and the problems faced by people with a congenital absence of the melanin pigment.
The gender-neutral appearance of the world's first androgynous model Andrei Pejic brought him worldwide fame. In 2014, he asked to be called Andrea and underwent several gender reassignment surgeries. As a result, the Serbian became a woman, but continues to inspire famous designers to various creative experiments. Pejic participates in campaigns for brands such as Marc Jacobs, Michalsky, Rosa Clara and so on. This is the first androgynous model to appear for Vogue.
The British model Moffie Hardy, who suffers from strabismus, attracted the attention of designers Claire Barrow and Margaret Howell and regularly appears on the covers of various fashion magazines.
60-year-old Philippe Dumas, for whom the modeling business has always remained an elusive goal, has finally found his place in the sun. Thanks to the fact that the pensioner’s photo was liked on social networks, agencies drew attention to him, and now the owner of a gray, well-groomed beard works with the Parisian URBAN Talents & Models Agency, takes part in numerous projects and filming.
“As a child, I hated my freckles because I was teased for them. I tried to hide them so that at least for a little while I could join the company and feel like everyone else. Don't follow the opinions of others and don't let society turn you into a different person. It all starts with love and self-confidence,” fashion model Joyja admitted on Instagram. She is represented by the international modeling agency Kitten Agency.
Casey Legler will be a worthy competitor to any muscular model. A woman posing for men's projects has revolutionized the fashion world. On the catwalks she demonstrates clothes exclusively for the stronger sex. She took part in the filming of L’Oréal, designer Odile Gilbert, Numéro Homme magazine and so on. She is represented by the New York Ford Model Agency.
19-year-old model Molly Bair has been called a “symbol of anorexia.” The lop-eared girl, who can hardly be called pretty, is appreciated at shows all over the world. She represented the collections of Moschino, Jeremy Scott, Alexander Wang, Vera Wang and many others. Molly herself calls her image a mixture of an alien, a rat, a demon, a goblin and a gremlin.
Young model April Star, like Winnie Harlow, suffers from vitiligo. Despite this, the girl has already managed to take part in fashion shows and photo shoots. 116 thousand people follow April’s account on the social network Instagram.
British woman Victoria Modesta had to have her leg amputated at the knee. Despite this, the 28-year-old model is quite successful on the catwalk and is working on her third music album.
Contrary to her unconventional appearance, the outcast Alice Delyal, who, in addition to modeling shoots, plays drums in a rock band, joined the Chanel fashion house. A girl with a height of 168 centimeters walked on the catwalk at London Fashion Week in 2016 and participated in the L'Oreal project. Her interests are represented by the NEXT Model Management agency.
Fashion model Sean Ross has worked for most of the major fashion publications. Including British GQ, Italian Vogue, i-D, Paper, Another Magazine and so on. An African-American with albinism often faced ridicule from others, but this did not stop him from becoming one of the most recognizable models of our time.
Sarah McDaniel has abnormal pigmentation of the iris - heterochromia. But that didn't stop her from being featured on the cover of Playboy's March 2016 issue.
Charlie Barker's hair color changes as often as she receives offers from photographers. The 20-year-old social media star with more than 616 thousand followers on Instagram became a revelation to the fashion world in 2015. Having moved from London to New York, Charlie represented the Diesel company.
Funny ears, a gap between the teeth and a nose like a shoe. These girls managed to make it to the Olympus of the modeling business, despite the fact that not one of them can be called a canonical beauty.
If you think that you are not beautiful enough for a modeling career, carefully study the photos of these girls and away with all complexes. If earlier the world of glamor opened its arms only to ideal beauties, today, in search of new forms, its representatives have gone very far from generally accepted norms and canons. Now not only simpletons, but also real ugly girls have a chance.
One of the most successful models, who clearly does not have canonical beauty, is a Dutch woman Daphne Groeneveld. Today she is one of the top 50 most sought-after models in the world and appears on the covers of leading glossy publications. And all this despite the fact that Daphne’s face is very far from ideal proportions: her eyes are set too wide, and her overly plump lips treacherously reveal less than ideal teeth. At the same time, the catwalk star is not only not ashamed of his teeth, but as if he is deliberately constantly showing them off on camera. Her fellow American model does the same. Lindsay Wixson. This young lady has even more reasons to see an orthodontist, but the girl is in no hurry to solve problems with her teeth. Today Lindsay is the face of the houses of Prada and Alexander McQueen and at every photo shoot she appears in front of the cameras with her mouth slightly open, as if deliberately demonstrating her beauty flaws. By the way, the model is also in no hurry to veil her funny, slightly protruding ears - Wixson wears her hair tied up in a bun and tucks her curls behind her ears without hesitation.
American Lily McMenamy- a lover of smooth hairstyles, although almost any girl in her place would prefer voluminous curls... Lily is not at all shy about her elven ears. Moreover, she was able to make the ears part of the image. By the way, the girl also adopted overly plump lips. Continuing the theme of non-standard ears, we cannot fail to mention the owner of the roundest and most protruding ears - an American Molly Bair. Today she is considered one of the most promising young models. Well, what would it be like without the Irish queen of protruding ears? Laura O'Grady! The girl was teased throughout her childhood because of her strange round ears, and today she is one of the top most sought-after models in the world.
Lindsay Wixson. American model. 23 years old. Ranks 14th in the top 50 most successful models in the world.
In the category of atypical beauties who do not seem to have any obviously repulsive features, but can hardly even be called beauties, it is worth including another rising star - 19-year-old Kelly Mittendorf. By the way, according to the model herself, photographers are attracted to working with her precisely because she is not at all afraid of experiments and she doesn’t care what she looks like. Apparently, the girl really owes her contracts to the fact that her appearance is unusual and flexible, which gives wide scope for the imagination of stylists and photographers.
Another type of model whose appearance simultaneously attracts and repels is the so-called alien beauties. These include a 25-year-old Ukrainian Waving to Telna, who is considered to have the world's largest eyes. As a child, little Masha was constantly teased, but she believed that her unusual eyes were an advantage, not a disadvantage. Our compatriot can also be considered one of the same “aliens” Lisa Ostanina, for which the nickname “unearthly elf” has already been assigned. Only a Mexican woman would dare to challenge him Issa Lish, known not only for her ethereal appearance, but also for her close friendships with the houses of Marc Jacobs, Dior and Givenchy. These young ladies probably also had a hard time during their school years - they were teased, given offensive nicknames, and certainly no one believed in the possibility of such a stunning career. However, the African-American model probably had the hardest time of all Diandra Forrest, who suffers from albinism. To tell the whole world how difficult it is to live with such a disorder, the girl came to Tyra Banks' show “America's Next Top Model.” Today Daindra is a sought-after top model, she is photographed for glossy magazines and proves by her example: if you have a great desire, any goal is achievable.
