Mischaela Elkins

A dream come true. 🙏🏼

One of the most challenging shoots of my career. 😮‍💨 It all paid off, as this shot made it as the Harper’s Bazaar front cover alternate to Charlotte Casiraghi of Monaco. Not bad company to be in. 👑    As you can see, I really had the A-Team of Akin, Alberto, and Alena on this. 🫶🏼    Model: Mischaela (Mischaela Elkins)  Photographer: Akin Girav  HMUA: Alberto Luengo  Stylist: Alena Brook  Wardrobe: @carolinaherrera  Shoes: @jimmychoo

Baby's first..... time walking the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue blue carpet. 💙    This year has taught me that other people will speak out of turn on your goals, plans, dreams, and ambitions....but only because they don't think the same things are possible for them....so YOU shouldn't attempt them. DO THEM ANYWAY.    I've had so many "comments" on my beauty pageant titles, my modeling career, and MY choices. All stemming from the other person's insecurities. After all, what does what I'm doing have to do with you?     Most of these comments have one thing in common; The subtext that I should stay in my lane and play life smaller.    Cool story. 😂    I have a few things left for my modeling career before I hang it up at 35. Things I can't wait to share! After that point my focus will be bae, babies, and business. 🦢    It's been 15 years of shoots, runways, presentations, test shoots, calendars, covers, stylists, make up artists, 5 am call times, and sore muscles. I started in the "pose and preen" business at age 20, after 2 years of development. 20-35 is more than many models can hope for and I'm really glad what started out as a way to pay for college has turned into so much. ☺️    For my friends, family, and the supporters - thank you for every congratulations and the support. For my haters, grab something to steady yourself because I have so much more to share...... 😂

The Vizcaya Home and Gardens is a visual feast, and I left no crumbs. 🙅‍♀️

Thank you @gq for this feature titled, “Supermodel, Super Mind” ☺️ I had a blast pretending to be a Bond girl and showcasing my personality for this editorial.

I’m something of a classically trained poser, myself.

99.9% Angel, but OH that .1%

One of my favorite photos from the Vizcaya Swimwear model event! @sarahekerns you are the sweetest girl and equally beautiful inside and outside. My favorite memory with you is when our Uber driver took us to view the homes on Star Island in Miami, strictly because we waited in crowded South Beach for him to find us. You and I are living proof that kindness and sweetness pays off, even in this industry! I’m always happy to look up and see ads with your face smiling back. Keep going and keep shining, you’re meant for big things! 🫶🏼

Pinch me! Enjoying lunch at the @theversacemansion! Reflecting on how Gianni @versace was able to create a brand that became a world that he could live in. That’s truly the dream! Seeing the Medusa head stonework on his patio, it dawned on me that he probably ate breakfast there….taking pleasure in the fact that he could live in the brand he brought into the world. An icon! #miami #versacemansion #southbeach #miamirestaurants #miamipizza #gianniversace #fashionicon #lbd #littleblackdress #lunchdate #beautyqueen #beautyqueens #miamibeach #ladieswholunch #sunhat #ootd #donatellaversace #allblackoutfit
