Share with us... Your Best & Worst Collections of Haute Couture F/W 2025.26
It’s hard to keep your feet on the ground when you’re this pretty, 16 years old and your job is to dress up in couture, but Ondria Nichole Hardin is possibly the most down-to-earth model we’ve met. While we were wearing magnetic earrings and stalking the sixth form boys on MySpace, Ondria’s dressing up in Prada couture and hanging out with Yumi Lambert and Stella Tennant in a Chanel campaign. When she’d just reached double figures, Ondria won ‘Miss Photogenic’ in a school pageant and four years later walked her first show for Marc Jacobs. She’s homeschooled, her first love is her dog Miu Miu and she comes from oh sweet Carolina. We get our head out of the clouds to talk to the DNA-signed, super grounded, super pretty teen.

Forbidden Kiss – Cara Delevingne lands another YSL Beauty advertisement with the brand’s Baby Doll Kiss and Blush campaign. The British model is joined by Ondria Hardin for a duo of steamy ads where the subtext is not so subtle. This follows up Cara’s ads for the Baby Doll Mascara and Touche Eclat line where she posed alongside Jourdan Dunn. And who could forget her Twitter rant earlier this week where she blasted the paparazzi?
