Even our favorite models were rookies once upon a time! Check out supermodels like Gisele and more walking down their first runways.
We all know supermodels are in a league of their own, but even the most elite catwalk queens had to start somewhere. While our favorite models have graced countless magazines and billboards, the runway is really where it all begins.
Many A-list beauties were fresh faces before their first stroll down the catwalk. Stunners like Cindy Crawford, at Michael Kors’ Fall 1991 show during New York Fashion Week, and Gisele Bundchen were almost unknowns before starting to rock the runway, so we had to go and gather the best photos of supermodels during their first runway appearances.
From the legendary Twiggy of the ’60s, to the supers of the ’90s and the current crop of top models like Kendall Jenner and the Hadid sisters, we’re taking a trip down memory lane, ready to relive the runway debuts that put these models on the map. Get ready to be amazed, amused, and perhaps even inspired by the stories of how these gorgeous gals got their start, in our photo gallery here.
