Hilary Rhoda

Hilary Rhoda is a model known for her trademark bushy eyebrows and healthy figure. The 5'11" model wears size 4/6 (US/UK) and is far removed from the size 0/2 of most other skinny models. Hilary Rhoda is Estée Lauder's newest faces and has also graced the covers of Vogue, British Harper's Bazaar and W.

Hilary Rhoda was born in Chevy Chase, Maryland on April 6, 1987. Hilary was studying in a private Catholic girls school when she and her mom happened to hear a "wanna be a model" commercial on the car radio. Rhoda's mother Marianne took her daughter to the Hilton Washington, where she was signed on by an agent and began part-time modeling.

Surprisingly Hilary originally wanted to be on television shows. "Remember that TV show All That?" she told Vogue. "It was kind of like Saturday Night Live for kids? I would always be like, 'Mom, have you called All That yet? I want to be on that show!' I graduated from high school and then moved to New York and concentrated on modeling, and I'm really glad it worked out. It's such a gamble." Hilary moved to New York City with her dogs, and her mother as manager, to pursue modeling full time. Rhoda got her big break when Balenciaga's Nicolas Ghesquiere selected her to appear in his Paris runway show.



Hilary Rhoda's healthy figure got her the Estée Lauder contract, since the cosmetics brand promotes healthy and athletic role models. Hilary Rhoda also became the face of Neiman Marcus, St. John Knits, and ERES Beachwear. Her prominent chin and thick eyebrows made people compare her to Brooke Shields.

Hilary says, "Besides walking those long New York City blocks, I do Pilates because it helps me feel longer and leaner, which is great considering my job! I love the Stella McCartney collection for Adidas." The sporty Hilary Rhoda is also modeling Victoria's Secret swimwear and has posed in the latest Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue.
