Yeezy, Jeremy Scott and Diane Von Furstenburg are just a few others that have snatched up the teen beauty to display their threads. While her platform continues to grow, Alanna is enjoying her season of “firsts”. She opened up New York Fashion Week for Altuzarra, chopped off her lovely curls for the first time in years to create the sexy shaggy look she rocks now, and recently traveled to Europe for the first time to work for the Victoria’s Secret fashion show.

Her athletic roots are definitely part of her style. Being a former basketball player,  Alanna is often quick to prefer a relaxed, sporty look when she’s not on the runway.“I stay away from dresses as much as I can. When I was younger, my parents would get mad because I refused to wear them to church or parties. I’ve just never felt comfortable in a dress, and I’ll only wear one if it’s for work.

This stunning beauty is definitely worth watching in 2018! We can’t wait!
