Leomie Anderson isn’t your stereotypical model. Glistening skin and seemingly effortless style aside, she is way more than just a designer’s dream. The British stunner has built her career not only by being the face of such brands as Victoria’s Secret and Fenty Beauty but also by using her platform to inspire a generation of strong, independent women.
Passionate about intersectional feminism and youth empowerment, she has given her own TED Talk and spoken at both Oxford and Cambridge universities. As the creator of activewear label LAPP The Brand (Leomie Anderson the Project the Purpose), the entrepreneur combined her love of fashion with social activism by launching a blog in which young women can share perspectives and get advice. Anderson’s standout aesthetic ranges from casual crop tops to under-theradar wardrobe finds.
Get motivated by the 26-year-old, who is disrupting the fashion industry with her unapologetic voice and multifaceted talent.
LAPP The Brand is a sign for me to just keep going, even when I want to give up.

Dare to Step Out in Gowns That Wow
Even though most of us may never get the chance to grace a star-studded red carpet, Anderson can still serve as our inspo for dresses that turn heads no matter the occasion.
The model doesn’t miss a beat when all eyes are on her. From an avant-garde Rami Kadi number at the Cannes Film Festival to a sheer Ali Karoui gem at the Harper’s Bazaar Icons Party, Anderson is known to rock the chicest and sparkliest ensembles.
Go Sporty, but Make it Chic
For those who think that sweats are only for your off days, Anderson is here to prove you wrong. When she’s not clothed in luxury threads, the trendsetter dons a crop top and sweats with a snazzy sneaker for the ultimate in street style. Her secret? Keep at least one designer piece in the mix to elevate the look.
Take Risks
Making a statement in fashion is all about being bold. From mixing prints and experimenting with pink tresses to dressing in a striking floor-length fur coat and a pair of combat boots, Anderson is a style daredevil. And no matter what she decides to wear that day, she is always camera-ready.
