10 most popular models with non-standard appearance

Models with Unconventional Features: It is a common belief that in order to break into the international fashion scene, you must have those blessed genes, great height, stunning skin and a perfectly symmetrical face. However, the concept and definition of beauty is evolving as the fashion industry evolves and influences society.

Fashion leaders may have been the first to take notice of gorgeous, perfectly proportioned mannequins, but they also seem to be the first to celebrate beauty that isn't so stereotypical. Below are the weird models who are celebrities in high fashion today.

Top 10 most famous models with non-standard characteristics:

10. Cara Delevingne

Cara Delevingne's eyebrows are almost as famous as she is. That's probably why she doesn't let other people touch them. The supermodel's thick eyebrows have spawned thousands of fans and convinced many women to ignore tweezers (Source).

The 29-year-old well-known supermodel was born in London, England. Her grandfather is former English Heritage chairman Sir Jocelyn Stevens. When Cara Delevingne made major fashion headlines for the first time, everyone was amazed by her unique, powerful look. She has a famous pair of very bold dark eyebrows and fierce eyes. Because of her beautifully weird charisma and charm, she is landing major runways and editorials one after another. Combined with her killer amazing bold features is her quirky, sweet and sassy personality.

She also has a successful acting career on the big screen. Today it is no wonder why she is so relevant in the modeling industry thanks to her unusual appearance.

9. Ashley Smith

Ashley is 31 years old. An American model with a prominent gap in her teeth that had three modeling agencies vying for her when she ventured to New York after graduating from high school. Blonde, curvy and beautiful, as well as a very carefree and outgoing personality, Ashley is well liked by modeling agencies, who think her smile is worth thousands of dollars. Growing up in Texas, she disliked the conspicuous gaps between her front teeth and hated people looking at her teeth every time she spoke.

The gaps between the teeth used to be completely unloved. Ashley was one of the first gap-toothed models to stage a fashion takeover. Having walked for Chanel, Balenciaga, Prada and many other famous designers, she could say that it was a very good decision to leave her teeth intact.

8. Molly Bair

Six-foot-one model Molly Baer from Philadelphia had already worked with major fashion icons like Karl Lagerfeld, Marc Jacobs and Dior before she turned 20. At a young age, she is known for numerous editorial campaigns that highlight her pleasingly kinky features.

This up-and-coming teen model admitted she was surprised by how people called her "weird looking." In an interview with CNN, she says: “I never thought I looked so weird, then I was looking on the Internet and people were like, 'This girl is so alien' and stuff, and I was like, 'Well, I'm normal. 'I think I'm embracing this alien-rat-demon-goblin-gremlin vibe.'

However, we can't blame these people!

7. Lily Cole

The ideal face is not exactly what models strive for today.

Lily Cole is an English model and film actress. At 24, she became the youngest model to appear on the cover of British Vogue. She is known for her alien-like features, which have become one of the favorites of fashion photographers. Her big forehead, round face, tiny lips and big eyes are completely strange but cute. Lily, who loves her quirky appearance, also enjoys writing and acting.

6. Lily McMenamy

Lily McMenamy is a well-known name in the industry. Her mother is Kristen McMenamy, one of the world's top models of the 1990s. The strange thing about her appearance is her involuntary large pout. Thanks to her professionalism and uniqueness, she has worked with major brands such as Louis Vuitton, Fendi, Moschino, Balmain and Chanel.

She is known for her strange and outstanding physique, represented by her luscious lips, which she inherited from her mother. Her attractive, innately curved lips make her international fame colossal.

5. Kelly Mittendorf

Kelly Mittendorf is an American model who was discovered at the age of 11 while swimming at a local pool. She instantly got a huge job because of her new and very unusual look that no one else had ever been given. Gapped teeth, masculine physical characteristics, thin eyes—Mittendorf possesses traits that none of us considered preferable.

However, her beauty is interesting, strange. The strange combination of her feline looks has made her a very successful high fashion model, making us realize that different and strange facial features can be very stunning when combined.

Her outlandish face with razor-sharp cheekbones attracts the interest of Prada, Chanel and other brands that top models would like to work for.

4. Rick Genest

It's impossible for this guy to go unnoticed by people. Rick Genest is a Canadian artist and model who tattooed images of skeletons all over his body and became known as "Zombie Boy." He survived surgery to remove a brain tumor and became a homeless hitchhiker before boldly deciding to cover his body with tattoos.

He used to be a circus performer in Montreal. His activities include lying on a bed of nails and other dangerous stunts. Genest often found himself homeless, and no landlords would take him in because of his appearance. On his lucky day, he was picked up by the world's most famous and well-paid circus freak. When pop icon Lady Gaga's stylist hired him to shoot the music video for Gaga's "Born This Way," his path to international stardom was set in concrete. His art is represented by his body and he has no regrets about being "Zombie Boy".

Now Genest walks the catwalks in Milan, Paris, Los Angeles and other fashion centers, and also shoots for famous magazines about fashion, culture and art.

3. Diandra Forrest

She's white, but then she's black. African-American model Diandra Forrest breaks female stereotypes in the modeling industry when she appears in famous fashion magazines. Her milky white skin and facial hair, green eyes, natural blonde hair and unusual facial features caused by her congenital albinism are something she is never ashamed of.

Living in a predominantly African-American neighborhood and school where most people had dark skin, Diandra had trouble fitting in, starting with her friends asking her if she was adopted. It was inevitable for her that she would be bullied and called “Casper” and “white girl.” She decided to use teasing as her strength and motivation to become an inspiration to people like her.

She was discovered when a young photographer, captivated by her unique appearance, spotted her while out shopping. “You’re beautiful, you should be a model,” the photographer told her. Since then, Diandra has become a prominent name in fashion shows and fashion projects for MAC, Jean Paul Gaultier, Vivienne Westwood and many others.

2. Sean Ross

Another iconic non-stereotypical model of the time was Shaun Ross. He was called the first African-American albino model to ever appear in a major fashion show. He got his first taste of modeling when he walked the runway for Tim Hamilton in 2008. Sean is also an actor and dancer who was first seen in his group's dance videos on YouTube. He has contributed to photo editorial campaigns for fashion publications including British GQ, Italian Vogue and Paper Magazine. He has modeled for Alexander McQueen, Givenchy and other major fashion companies.

Ross is also of African American descent. Growing up in the Bronx, Ross experienced discrimination many times because of his skin condition. He was always offended by his peers, but this did not stop him from boldly pursuing his dream. Ross believes his condition does not define him or limit him in any way because it has always been there. He thinks the problem lies with others and people's perceptions.

1. Winnie Harlow

Winnie Harlow's success in the modeling world is an inspiration to people who find it difficult to feel comfortable in their own skin. She is the first female model with vitiligo, a disease that causes patchy loss of skin color. Winnie Young, also known as Chantelle Brown-Young, is best known as a former contestant on America's Next Top Model. Feeling like an outcast, she was bullied and called "cow" and "leopard", which made her early life terrible, as she mentioned in a reality modeling show.

She wanted to take the fashion world by storm despite her very unique appearance, which she is undoubtedly already doing by gracing the covers of famous fashion magazines, endorsing top international products and gracing international fashion runways. By celebrating her skin as it is, she inspires people with vitiligo who struggle with depression and self-doubt.
