You know us, rarely are we at a loss of words – but Egyptian-born French model Tiana Tolstoi has stopped us in our tracks. Youngster of only 19 years, Tolsi has already appeared in an ad for Lancome as well as the cover of Vogue China. Woah.

  • hair : brown
  • eyes : brown
  • height : 180cm/5’11”
  • waist : 60cm/23.5″
  • hips : 89 cm/35″

Let’s take a closer look. She has an incredible look about her. She’s so diverse and has the ability to be marketed towards many different demographics. That’s really going to set her apart. Her agency, New Madison, discovered her on the streets of Paris (her hometown)… talk about a fairy tale. But why is she a Model to Watch? Take a look:

5. She’s only 19

Tiana has plenty more time to grow and expand her fan base as a model. Plenty of time. She’s got a solid start and there’s no where to go but up from here!

4. Her entire Portfolio is Killer

If you take a look at it here, there’s not flaw. Each image used is very strong. It’s often difficult to fine a beginner with the quality of images she has. She’s already ahead of the game, and that’s not even speaking about her killer looks.

3. 5 feet Ten and a Half Inches

Going back to her diverse looks, Tiana will be able to take the Asian market segment by a storm. She’s been blessed with such a beautiful height that she will no doubt be in runway shows in the near future. She’s the perfect pick to diversify the runway. Look at her lines! So beautiful.
