10 HOTTEST MODELS NOW

BY: Jes Zurell

Strutting the catwalk, appearing on the pages of fashion magazines, and dazzling fashion-lovers all over the world — here are our picks for today’s hottest models.

Awar Odhiang

Serving the last look in a runway show is akin to having the last word in an argument. It’s closure in an emotional sense, and it’s a coveted spot for any model. Awar Odhiang had the last word in the SS26 Chanel show and our nerves are still buzzing. Born in a refugee camp in Ethiopia, this Canadian-South Sudanese model gleams like polished stone. You can’t help but want to know her, to touch her, to be in her presence.

Lucky Blue Smith

Global phenomenon, model of the moment, too beautiful for words – Lucky has been called many things, none of them off-base. His classic look makes us think if Paris Jackson and Jude Law ever had a lovechild, he’d be Lucky. Crystalline blue eyes framed heavily in long lashes, sandy hair, and enough charisma to slay millions with a single look, he’s dabbled in film as well as runway and editorial fashion. At 28 years old, we foresee many knee-weakening years ahead and look forward to seeing what he does next.

Mathilda Gvarliani

As the first Georgian model to walk for the Victoria’s Secret fashion show or appear on a Vogue cover, Mathilda has worked in the industry for nearly ten years and accrued no shortage of impressive names on her walk list. For all her success, however, she maintains a relatively low profile, maintaining a mystery we find immeasurably alluring.

Alton Mason

One of the highest-paid men in the industry is Alton Mason, whose reputation as a model, dancer, and actor precedes him in talent circles. Completely fluid and confident, his look is so hot he could possibly be behind global warming. The most impressive quality about Alton is his range; truly, there’s nothing he can’t pull off – and nothing we wouldn’t let him pull off of us.

Carla Rey

That cool girl next door whose parties you were just dying to attend? The one with hidden nerd tendencies that only made her infinitely more charming – an encyclopedic knowledge of futbol, a voracious appetite for vintage magazines, and intimate knowledge of the abstract expressionist movement in art. This Argentine stunner is physically gorgeous, yes, but to have the privilege of knowing her personally we just might die in ecstasy.

Annemary Aderibigbe

Everyone and their sister tries to nail the effortless vibe at one point or another, but Annemary seems to exude this naturally. Her impressive frame, marked by strong shoulders and a devastating filly-walk, has been in demand by every haute couture house from Hermès to Chanel. She seems so untouchable – it only makes us want her more.

Djairo Mulder

When this rising star walked for Ralph Lauren this spring, our jaws hit the floor. He probably smells like teakwood and leather and fresh air. He probably knows exactly what to do with his hands, among other things. Equally well-suited for Louis Vuitton and suit-less for Calvin Klein underwear, there’s no guesswork behind why he’s kept casting teams rapt since he first came on the scene. Even his name is sexy. Come on.

Alex Consani

No list of hot models is complete without paying respect to the glorious and transcendent Alex Consani. Her status as a household name has been well established, but she has yet to peak in our eyes. Her personal style and attitude give off a futuristic vibe that has us dying to know what she’ll do next. If changing her eyebrows broke the internet in July, just think of how powerfully her next move will grip us all.

Bhavitha Mandava

Being the first Indian model to open Chanel at the Métiers d’Art show secured Bhavitha’s status as a force in fashion. She’s “it factor” personified with the polished ease of a queen. To call her Matthieu Blazy’s darling is diminutive of her regality. She seems fully aware that she doesn’t have to try to look polished – with her deep gaze and timeless grace, she could make a beige sweatshirt and simple denim look like peak elegance.

Marlon Teixeira

Hailing from Brasil, this sculpted wonder of male anatomy has the most smoldering gaze to ever grace a fashion editorial. Cross his heart, his physique was sculpted by spending his entire life surfing and running around the glistening beaches of Brasil. There’s a wildness to him that we would absolutely allow to eat us alive.
