In 2025, the fashion world is moving fast—but not faster than Stella Hanan. With bone-deep confidence, sharp sophistication, and a magnetic screen presence, Stella has emerged as the defining model of the moment. Her name now echoes through studios in Paris, editorial halls in London, and casting boards from Milan to New York.
At Elite Weekly, we seek to celebrate voices that are shaping culture—not just modeling trends. And Stella Hanan is doing exactly that.
The Runway’s Most Sought-After Opener and Closer
The true turning point in Stella’s rise? Two landmark moments, just weeks apart.
She opened Schiaparelli Spring/Summer 2025 in Paris—leading the show with a statuesque walk and a face that silenced the room. Weeks later, she closed Gucci’s Fall/Winter 2025 show in Milan—a rare dual achievement that only a handful of models can claim in a single season.
Those weren’t just bookings. They were statements.
Designers are now building final looks with her in mind. She’s not just walking—she’s carrying the mood of the collection.
The Face of High Editorial Sophistication
Stella’s momentum extends beyond the catwalk. Her face is everywhere in the fashion press this year—Vogue UK, Harper’s Bazaar France, Russh Magazine, and Document Journal have all featured her in recent months.
From timeless black-and-white portraits to color-drenched avant-garde concepts, Stella adapts effortlessly. Her editorial work is defined by its subtle storytelling: bold without bravado, intimate without artifice. Photographers praise her range. Editors call her “unforgettable.” Creative directors say she’s “the future—here, now.”
In an industry where visibility can be fleeting, Stella’s impact lingers.
Beyond Aesthetic—An Energy That Resonates
What sets Stella apart isn’t just her look—it’s her energy.
She brings an unapologetic groundedness to her presence. Her Dinka heritage shines through not just in features but in strength. She embodies quiet rebellion: powerful yet poised, graceful yet unwavering. There’s a palpable authenticity in how she wears couture—it doesn’t wear her.
It’s no surprise she’s now being requested directly by stylists and brands who are curating collections and shoots around her image.
A Global Star in the Making
Represented across major fashion capitals and supported by elite management, Stella is building a career not on hype but on consistency and vision.
Her collaborations span from emerging designers to established powerhouses, and the creative community is taking notice. She’s not being cast—she’s being chosen.
There are whispers of fragrance deals, future brand ambassadorships, and even the first inklings of Stella crossing into the lifestyle space—beauty, jewelry, and cultural editorial.
