How Anok Yai got Discovered  

It's crazy how quickly your life can change like this.

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

Should've been the model of the year

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

Scouted models just give a different vibe.

That model scout knew he found a legend. Gorgeous and what a walk ♥️

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.)

She’s royal…her skin is golden

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

Anok is so genuine, one of my favorite modern day models for sure

She’s just a born model…gorgeous.

She looks like a goddess

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 ✨️

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.

Designers labels don't make beauty or talent. She still slayed in those JC Penney heels.

She is one of the most beautiful people I've ever seen

She’s like a gem in the ocean.

Love a scouted model story!! Like back in the 90s

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.
