Australia's Top Models

Ranked #1,724 in Entertainment, #21,585 overall

The Best Models from Down Under

Welcome to the only lens dedicated to the top Australian fashion models. From those who've made a name for themselves to fresh up-and-comers, you'll find all the vital stats, images, and videos of your favorite models from down under.

I've divided the models up into three different groups. This main page features all the established models that have made it big. You can access the other models (newcomers/rising stars and under the radar/lesser known models) via the links at the top. There is also a page for photos of Aussie models together & a page for the voting history of this lens.

  • What's Been Said About Her
    "The US has fallen in love with her. We love her because she has the most incredible girl-next-door look and she's also insanely beautiful. It means women are not intimidated by her looks and guys think they might be able to talk to her. It's a fantastic combination ... people want to be around her; she's fun on a shoot...and she's not stupid, which can be a very annoying trait among some models." Russell James - renowned fashion photographer

Under the Radar

Alice, Sarah, Tallulah, & VanessaSadly, these girls prove that just having the looks and the height doesn't guarantee you supermodel status. For whatever reason, they didn't make it big (compared to their peers), or they just felt modeling wasn't for them. But keep your eyes open, because who knows, maybe one day they'll make a comeback. If there's a "almost made it" model you think is deserving of a spot here, leave a comment or vote.

Aussie Models Together

When models are first getting started (and even when they're already established), they tend to make friends with other models from their home country or area, and Australian models are no different. Here are some galleries showing Australian models hanging out together & (coming soon) being photographed together for editorials & campaigns.
