Model Lara Stone's Iconic Runway Looks

The Dutch model's runway career includes memorable moments at Givenchy, Chanel, and more top fashion houses.

Dubbed as one of French icon Brigitte Bardot’s doppelgängers, model Lara Stone has been a runway favorite since the early 2000s. The supermodel grew up in a small town in the Netherlands before she was discovered at age 12 on a family vacation in Paris. After catching Riccardo Tisci’s eye, who was then the creative director of Givenchy, Stone made her debut on the catwalk in Givenchy’s Haute Couture show for Fall/Winter 2006. The blonde beauty has fronted numerous magazine covers throughout the years, along with acting as muse for several campaigns—most notably the very touchy Calvin Klein campaign with Justin Bieber in 2015. The model’s career is defined by bold looks, occasional bleached eyebrows, transformative blonde locks, and her killer gap-tooth smile. On Stone's birthday, L’OFFICIEL revisits her most memorable runway moments.
