Liya Kebede

[sethii]

When Harper's Bazaar put Kebede on its cover last year, it proved to be one of their best-selling issues - so much so that they are using her again for the front of their May issue.

Lol does the designer remind anyone else of penguin from badman (played by Danny DeVito) or is it just me? Lovin those candids by the way!

Thanks for posting the Tiffany commercial, sethii. I love her feline quality and the way she can be both adorable and sexy at the same time. I want to see Liya more, especially onscreen, where she effortlessly transferred her dynamic presence from print work.

She tripped in the finale walk with all of the girls at Lanvin, but she recovered quite fiercely I might add

thanks for the modelcitizens scan

It would be incredible if she got Alexander McQueen. I'd definitely buy his stuff then! At least his bags which are pretty hot.

Does anyone has pictures of Liya in the 2008 H&M Ads? she was all over the place and her hair is long and she looks amazing!

Esquire August 2005

Liya Kebede

Age: 26 Nationality: Ethiopian Nickname: Baby Iman Where you've seen her: With a $3 million contract, she became the first black face of Estée Lauder in March 2003; Tommy Hilfiger ads. Star asset: Swanlike neck Requisite plucked-from-obscurity story: After walking in modeling shows at her Addis Ababa high school, Kebede was referred to a French modeling agency. Number of inches taller than you she is if you're NBA guard Earl Boykins: 5 Among the many, many reasons you've got no shot: She's married to a hedge-fund manager and has a young son. And modest, too: Liya rates herself an 8 out of 10. Reason Santa probably skipped her house growing up: She's Coptic Orthodox, a denomination of Christianity that has its own pope and celebrates Christmas on January 7. Requisite charitable activity: Earlier this year, Kebede was appointed a goodwill ambassador for the World Health Organization.
