Can a 158cm girl be a famous and successful model?
Yes models come in all shapes and size. Maybe not a runway super model but for books, magazines or other photo ops. If you look at sites such as Corbis you see all of these people are models. They just do not fit the image people have of one.
Can I be a model if I am 5'7?
I have always wanted to be a model and thought I was going to be taller when I grew up (I'm 15 now) however right now I stand at 170cm (5'7 feet) My friends and even my friends parents tell me that I have the model look because of my red hair, freckles, and blue eyes. My measurements are 31, 25, 32 and I have a thigh gap (I don't really know if this matters I have just seen many models with a thigh gap) however I am only 5'7. Do you think I could still be a model (for agencies like IMG) if I apply. I have also been scouted for an agency in america over the summer when I was only 168 (5'6)
Can I even be a model!!?
Not unless you are considered an "influencer" who has over 500,000 followers on social media. That's how people like Hailey Baldwin or Sofia Richie who are short have been able to be a model. You need to be a social media celebrity first who is sponsored by well known clothing and beauty companies -- and then maybe one of the agencies will consider you. It's not about buying fake followers - that doesn't work. Those fakes don't engage and agencies will need to see that at least 5% of your followers are liking or commenting on your posts to see that your followers are engaged. So if you have 100,000 followers, then at least 5000 of them would need to Like and Comment on your IG posts in order to be considered an "influencer". If only 500 are liking or commenting, it means either the followers are fake or they are not engaged enough to check your posts regularly and react to them So if you are that pretty, see what you can do on Instagram and if you become popular it might work.
