Raised in Orange County, New York, the stunning Emily DiDonato has grown up to be American model. If you’re having trouble guessing her ethnicity, let us help you – she’s Italian and Irish. That’s probably the closest thing to the perfect recipe for a brunette bombshell.Emily’s story is unique. She didn’t just start modeling because she wanted to. As a matter of fact, she needed heave persuasion to go through with it.
A family friend had to convince Emily DiDonato to purse her modeling career and sign with Request Model Management in 2008. Ever since she’s done that, she’s been able to work with fashion houses such as Guess?, Ralph Lauren, and many more.
In May 2009, she was signed as the latest face of Maybelline New York, a notable accomplishment for a model who had just graduated from high school with only a few months of modeling experience, and made her television commercial debut for the company’s “Color Sensational Lip Color” line, alongside Christy Turlington, Jessica White, and Julia Stegner.
DiDonato began modeling for Victoria’s Secret in August 2009, and appeared on her first magazine cover with The Block’s October 2009 issue. Prior to the 2009 New York Fashion Week, Vogue Germany dubbed her “top newcomer.” In 2010, she became the face of Giorgio Armani’s fragrance Acqua Di Gioia.
Images of her from this campaign were used as the cover pages of L’Oreal’s Annual and Financial Reports for 2010. She made her debut in the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue in 2013, with photos taken in Namibia.
