Gemma Ward

Gemma Ward remains one of the most defining faces of modern fashion. Discovered at 14 in Perth, Australia, she made her runway debut for Prada 15, an introduction that set the tone for her career. At just 16, she became the youngest model to appear in American Vogue, before going on to land the first-ever cover of Teen Vogue. By 17, she was the face of Calvin Klein’s Obsession Night – a defining image of the era. Ward quickly became a fixture of the runway, walking for Chanel, Prada, Dior, Valentino, and Alexander McQueen, while starring in campaigns for Prada, Versace, Dior, and Calvin Klein. With countless international Vogue covers to her name, she was later recognised by Vogue Paris as one of the top 30 models of the 2000s, cementing her status as a true supermodel. Beyond fashion, she has pursued acting, with roles in The Black Balloon, The Strangers, Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides, and The Great Gatsby.Now a mother of three, Ward continues to move seamlessly between eras – most recently returning to the runway for Alaïa and Miu Miu during the Fall 2026 shows. Her presence remains as captivating as ever: timeless, elusive, and entirely her own.
