This Black Model Ran Fashion Month and We Have The Receipts!

Every Fashion Month has an "it girl" and while most eyes scanned the Spring/Summer 2017 runways for models like Gigi Hadid and Kendall Jenner, our's were fixated on a fresh face that stunningly swept nearly every major Fashion Week show. Louisiana native Selena Forrest is just one year into her catwalk career and has already strutted her way through New York, Milan, London and Paris. Now that the Spring/Summer 2017 season is coming to an official close, we're looking back at some of her most gorgeous beauty moments. From Oscar de la Renta to Fendi, she's gracefully slayed every standout trend.
