@@_yaboibased on my personal experience the world is just super saturated that there are more scammers than genuine offers that will cause you to lose more time and money instead of gaining. If nobody apart from your family or closed ones been telling that you're special in terms of talent or looks, then some stranger be approaching you with good offers, chances are that is a scam trap.
I remember when she went viral, her pic was everywhere. Years later, I was watching models talk about their past and it was her turn (I did not recognize her at the time) and she casually mention that she was girl that went viral and my jaw dropped and felt joy for her. It’s amazing where life can take you when it happens organically
It's a huge frustration because I know in the film and modeling industry, there are hardly any stylists who know how to care for and style African hair. And they refuse to hire someone who has the skill. So we end up here, most African models I see are all shaved...
Amazing! What a success story! This is extremely rare that this happens. Even being with a successful agency, it is still very rare for a new model to achieve something as major as St. Laurent. Usually takes time. Great to hear this.
Anok Yai is an incredibly beautiful human being, but I think what elevates her beauty to what legends are made of, is her skin. I do not think I've ever seen skin as perfect as hers. You just want to stare at her for hours.
Feels so creepy to admit because I know she's as human as anyone, but agreed. Her skin is smooth, deep, and flawless everywhere on her statuesque body and reflects light as though she was formed from metal. Permit me a little romanticization but even her walk is like beads of mercury moving down the runway. Beyond gorgeous. I'm not even particularly into the fashion world, but her name I will always remember.
There are entire countries of ppl in her skintone...its not just her skin. Its her aura, her features and her talent at modelling. Please don't fetishize her...akin like that is NORMAL.
@@epic7224 it's not about her coloring, though. Color is one element, but her skin is unusually flawless. Free of blemishes. Matte and luminous all at once. These traits are not limited by skin color and are rare across any culture. Credit where credit is due. "Normal" people don't become supermodels. Her beauty stands apart.
@@alicejohn7316yes everyone skin is beautiful. Her skin is very beautiful and her skin colour is beautiful. Saying that doesn’t mean this person is putting anyone down. Just saying that this person themselves THEIR OPINION AND PREFRENCE found her skin colour beautiful. I agree. And her skin is super healthy!
So very happy for Anok. I worked at the "haute coiffure" hair salon that did the "Face of the 80s"...Eileen Ford would never, have even considered Anok. Appreciation for other than "white beauty" is, at long last, taking place. Thank you Universe.
It's crazy how quickly your life can change like this.
It is. Especially in this social media era.
thats why you should be open to opportunities and new experiences! you never know where they could lead you!

Only in the US or Europe
@oli92 She was meant to be a supermodel I think she’s the only real supermodel of our time
I remember when she went viral, her pic was everywhere.

It’s amazing where life can take you when it happens organically
When her picture was viral I honestly dint think she was real 😱 she was too unreal
this made me look up the photo and my mouth dropped, I remember that viral moment! Bless
Was her afro bigger? I think I remembered that moment too
@@miamonroe3246yes it was!
not all curly hair on a black person is an afro ☠️☠ Her hair was just curly there️ @@miamonroe3246
Scouted models just give a different vibe.
You can def tell the difference between them and Nepo babys 💯
They exude genuine talent and charisma.
@@honourlulu5562well no duh nepo baby’s can’t walk
No need to put down others as if none of the nepo babies do well.
@@Megabot_6000but what nepo baby model has done well? Cause I have yet to see one
Should've been the model of the year
Robbed.
it’s laughable she didn’t win
@@soupafleye add criminal.
wait what.. i thought she was..?
that's insane that they didn't award her as model of the year
not a coincidence she was robbed of that reward while white supremacy is on the rise
That model scout knew he found a legend. Gorgeous and what a walk ♥️
he wasn't a scout he was just an even photographer and thought anok was pretty
@@Suyomaashe's really pretty but her shoulders seem a little too shaky to me though
@@ruffleberryjealousy is one hella of a drug 🤣
@@PersistInTheMind who tf says I'm jealous? I was literally just pointing out a detail I noticed. Get a life
Her backstory is one of my favorites with the recent supermodels, like she is one very smart girl with a lot of charm and humor built on top
She’s royal…her skin is golden
I like that she gave credit to the photographer Steve Hall.( Edited to reflect photographer's name. I previously wrote "Hill." My apologies to him.)
You never forget the people who were there to help pave the way for you.
@@t-pain1827 unfortunately, many do and they never mention them.
* his name is actually Steven hall
@@monica51167 thank U.
She also had her beautiful hair. Wish they had let her keep her hair.
Anok is so genuine, one of my favorite modern day models for sure
She was chosen. And it was probably the best decision ever from the universe. The walk the style the beauty the humor this girl has is unmatched.
Her face shape is so soft, feminine and beautiful
She’s just a born model…gorgeous.
She looks like a goddess
But unfortunately she doesn’t sound like one. She sounds like a teenage boy from the hood. She’s gorgeous though.
I just found the picture that made her famous and I wish she kept her hair long. She looks gorgeous either way, but wow those curls ✨️
It's a huge frustration because I know in the film and modeling industry, there are hardly any stylists who know how to care for and style African hair. And they refuse to hire someone who has the skill.
So we end up here, most African models I see are all shaved...
it was probably a wig lmao chill
@@sydoestuffAll I said was those curls were pretty. You chill :P
Yeah very much a wig
You know they don’t want black women too pretty
Amazing! What a success story! This is extremely rare that this happens. Even being with a successful agency, it is still very rare for a new model to achieve something as major as St. Laurent. Usually takes time. Great to hear this.
She is one of the most beautiful people I've ever seen
Designers labels don't make beauty or talent. She still slayed in those JC Penney heels.
She’s like a gem in the ocean.
Love a scouted model story!! Like back in the 90s
she’s so damn gorgeous.. especially in versace
I love her in mugler. She slays their shows ever time
her voice is attractive too ❤
I just looked up that famous Instagram picture. None of these fancy clothes on the catwalk do her justice like those shorts and a shirt did.
I’m actually surprised it took that long before she was scouted. She has such classic good looks.
NOW THIS IS WHAT I LOVE, I love hearing people’s stories of how they came to be. LOVE
She’s so deserving of this
Skypinkidol- when your destined to be something it comes to u.
You know you're good when veteran supermodels compliment you.
When it's your moment, it's your moment! She is gorgeous 😍 More blessings to her.
It'll be a cute little casting. 😂 Took me out. Love her
Gosh her legs were DAMN LONG, girl born to be a model

Stop praising blackness. it's weird. I'm black btw so don't try it

@@withelisathat part ‼️well said!

She is blessed, lucky, brave, smart and hardworking
She sounds so humble and elegant and relatable at the same time!
She’s so naturally beautiful too! Not an egotistical bone in her body! She just seems so humble and thankful :)
I’ve never heard her name before but the second she said her picture went viral, I knew exactly what picture she was talking about.
I love that red gown❤
She is soooo gorgeous ❤️🔥😻
The way she became a world class top model could literally a movie/series.
What is for you is for YOU!
Now that’s a Supermodel!
Beautiful skin color.
Everyone’s skin color is beautiful. She has healthy glowy skin. Not everyone has that glow.
^someone is pressed. Yes her skin color is beautiful!
@@alicejohn7316you like pancakes, OH SO YOU MUST HATE WAFFLES
@@alicejohn7316yes everyone skin is beautiful. Her skin is very beautiful and her skin colour is beautiful. Saying that doesn’t mean this person is putting anyone down.

Absolutely stunning
The love for girls my color and darker means so much 😢❤❤❤ so many ladies need this, no matter the age!
She shot herself to the pantheon of runway goddesses
So very happy for Anok.
I worked at the "haute coiffure" hair salon that did the "Face of the 80s"...Eileen Ford would never, have even considered Anok.
Appreciation for other than "white beauty" is, at long last, taking place.
Thank you Universe.
