Five-foot-eleven German supermodels are seldom described as “relatable.” Still, the word enters my head when thumbing through Lorena Rae’s Instagram. Her pictures seem to be mostly candids, not the work of illustrious photographers. The fresh-faced brunette with the eye-popping figure may be the only model with nearly two million followers who frequently posts photos of herself smiling, not smizing. And what a smile it is.

At 25 years old, Rae has modeled for brands like Versace and Hugo Boss. She has been on the covers of Italy, Australia and Taiwan. For a time, she was romantically linked to Leonardo DiCaprio. Her most famous coup came in 2018, when of the annual show’s recent cancellation. “Preparing and getting ready for the casting was definitely a big deal and a really motivating goal to work towards.”
