She is the fourth and final angel to land the sought-after spot of Victoria’s Secret Angel for 2019 alongside Leomie Anderson, Barbara Palvin and Alexina Graham.
It’s no other than the gorgeous Grace Elizabeth that we are talking about – the 22 year-old Florida native endowed with outstanding smile, prominent cheekbones and naturally angelic face. She has been highly prominent in the modeling world and has walked the runways from Paris to New York for brands like Max Mara, Ralph Lauren and Chanel.
Grace Elizabeth’s Modelling Career
For the past half a decade, she has become one of the modeling world’s most in-demand celebrities, appearing in promotions for everyone from Gap to Victoria’s Secret to Chanel, and it all began in Florida. “I started when I was 16 back home just doing small local stuff,” she said. “Then my mom sent in my photos and I went to Next in Lake City when I was 17 and signed with them. I was still in school, so in my junior year, I only went out [to gigs] in Christmas and weekends. Senior year, I went online, and that’s when I started really coming to New York.”
From then on, her modeling career took off in Paris when she landed a spot in the Miu Miu show during the Paris Fashion Week in 2016. “I did this prom thing for the first six months that I lived here and thought, If something does not change, I’m going to have to go home,” she recalled. “But then Katie Grand put me in a Miu Miu show. I was third out and I remember thinking, I’m the third one out and if I fall, everyone is going to see because there is not going to be 10 girls already out there. I was so nervous. Taylor Hill was right in front of me, and I remember Miuccia Prada came up to me and was like, ‘You’re gorgeous, you’re going to be fine.’ And I was like, ‘Okay! Whatever you say.’”
Grace Elizabeth has already walked for Prabal Gurung, Jeremy Scott and Brandon Maxwell, among many more. “I love fashion week,” Elizabeth said. “I do. It’s one of my favorite things. When I first started, I was told I wasn’t really a show girl, so now it’s kind of my thing. I just love it. The 30 seconds you are out there, your heart is racing. You can hear it thumping. I even love the running around. In Paris, you always see models jumping on motorbikes and I thought that was made up, but it’s not. You literally run out of a show, jump on a motorbike, and are squeezing in hoping your knees aren’t knocked off my car mirrors. It’s insane. It’s so much fun.”
Grace Elizabeth on What it Means to Be an Angel
And of course, of all of her amazing modeling experiences, being a Victoria Secret star is the highlight of them all. When asked by the Harper’s Bazaar the question of what it means for her career to be a VS star, the sweet angel responded: “It’s always been a dream of mine to be a Victoria’s Secret Angel. When I set out to model, it was my ultimate goal and it was one of the first things I told my agents I wanted to do. The transformation from being a PINK spokesmodel to being a VS Angel, has been really incredible. I have learned so much, met so many incredible people, some of who are like family to me. I’m looking forward to using this new platform to share my story, raise awareness for causes that are close to my heart and work to encourage other women to follow their dreams. Career wise, it’s goals! It’s one of the most coveted contracts in fashion and can open up a wide range of opportunities. Plus, I get to work with some of the most amazing women in the biz.”
