How did Lexi Hughes become a model?
Lexi signed with Storm Model Management at just 16 and has gradually stepped into the spotlight. Her official runway debut came in 2023 at London Fashion Week, where she walked for designer Tran Hùng, just a day before heading off to university.
Recalling the experience, she said, “I was so nervous but I really enjoyed the experience. The other models were really kind, and it was surreal to walk in such a beautiful show.” The brand is known for its commitment to sustainability, using 90% eco-friendly materials, a value Lexi said she was proud to support.
What’s in Lexi’s latest photoshoot?
Lexi’s newest Instagram post features three bold images, captioned simply “Wet look 👀”. In one, she crouches in jeans and a white vest top with wet, slicked-back hair, styled with white pointed heels. In another, she appears topless with only her arms covering her chest, giving a soft yet fierce over-the-shoulder look.
Despite limiting comments on the post, her followers quickly showed admiration. Comments included: “Jaw is on the floor,” and “Wow, beautiful look at you… gorgeous.”
Even her mum Amanda Holden, known for her own glamorous Instagram presence, liked the post, quietly supporting her daughter’s fashion choices.
