Lara Stone

Lara Stone, born on December 23, 1983, in Geldrop, Netherlands, is a Dutch model and actress known for her distinctive presence in the fashion world. She was discovered at the age of 14 while vacationing with her family and soon after participated in the Elite Model Look competition in 1999. Although she did not win, her potential secured her a contract with Elite Model Management. In 2006, she transitioned to IMG Models, marking a significant step in her career.

Stone's runway debut came under the direction of Riccardo Tisci at Givenchy’s couture show in Paris, followed by a notable exclusivity with Calvin Klein that same year. Her editorial work gained recognition with a prominent spread in Vogue Paris and the cover of its April issue in 2007. Known for her unique look, including her trademark gap-toothed smile and distinct walk, she was coined the "anti-model" by The New York Times' fashion critic, setting her apart from conventional runway norms. New York Magazine also highlighted her as one of the top models to watch during New York Fashion Week.

With over two decades in the fashion industry, Stone's career includes achievements such as modeling for Victoria's Secret and ranking eighth on Forbes' list of top-earning models in 2012. Her presence extends to social media, where she maintains a substantial following. Lara Stone stands 5'10" tall, with blonde hair and hazel eyes, embodying a slim figure that has contributed to her appeal in modeling circles.
