Model Behavior: Lyndsey Scott

Nineteen-year-old Lyndsey Scott's rapid ascent to the top tiers of the modeling world has been no less than a whirlwind ("No model, black or white, in recent memory has made such an instant impact," Bethann Hardison told us, post-fashion week). The New Jersey-native was discovered by Click Models in '08, and a couple months later, she made her runway debut at the Fall '09 Calvin Klein show, becoming the first Black model to score an exclusive with the label! Since then, Scott has become a catwalk and editorial favorite, walking for shows like Vera Wang, Fendi, Gucci, Prada, and Victoria's Secret; and appearing in high-fashion spreads for Italian Elle, Teen Vogue and W. We can't wait to see with this willowy, delicate-featured beauty does next!

Nineteen-year-old Lyndsey Scott’s rapid ascent to the top tiers of the modeling world has been no less than a whirlwind (“No model, black or white, in recent memory has made such an instant impact,” Bethann Hardison told us, post-fashion week). The New Jersey-native was discovered by Click Models in ‘08, and a couple months later, she made her runway debut at the Fall ’09 Calvin Klein show, becoming the first Black model to score an exclusive with the label! Since then, Scott has become a catwalk and editorial favorite, walking in shows like Vera Wang, Fendi, Gucci, Prada, and Victoria’s Secret (left); and appearing in high-fashion spreads for Italian Elle, Teen Vogue and W. We can’t wait to see with this willowy, delicate-featured beauty does next!

02
Dream Girl

Lyndsey Scott strutted down Jeremy Scott’s Fall 2010 catwalk rocking dramatic slashes of black eye liner, and an “I Dream of Jeannie” ponytail.

03
Luminous Lyndsey

Rocking rosy cheeks and a sleek, low pony, Lyndsey looked positively luminous on Gucci’s Spring 2010 runway.

04
Reese’s Pieces

At Tracey Reese’s Fall 2010 show, Scott was beyond adorable in a head of rumpled ringlets, smokey eyes and nude lips.

05
I Dew

With her just-pinched cheeks and dewy, radiant makeup, Scott had an angelic moment on Alberta Ferretti’s Spring 2010 runway.

06
Trail Blazer

Prada’s runway shows are known for being notoriously all-white affairs, so when brown-skinned Lyndsey rocked the Spring 2010 catwalk, the international fashion press was ecstatic!

07
Pringle, Please

At Pringle of Scotland’s Spring 2010 show during London Fashion Week, Scott made a strong impression with strong brows, neutral makeup shades and severe hair.

08
Top Model

In October 2009, Style.com named Lyndsey Scott one of the top ten newcomers of the year. Glowing and flawless on the front of her Click Models comp card, it’s easy to see why!

09
Flirty Girl

Scott rocked long, flowing locks and pale pink gloss at the flirty, feminine, Blumarine Spring 2010 show.

10
Plum Dandy

Lyndsey Scott rocked head-to-toe plum at Jill Stuart’s Fall 2010 collection.
