The Top 11 Models of Fall 2020 

There was plenty to talk about on the runways during the fall 2020 collections. In a season filled with celebrity cameos, street casting, and immersive “tableau vivants,” models still managed to make an impact. Whether it was established talents like Paloma Elsesser and Jill Kortleve bringing much-needed body diversity to the runways of Europe, or returning favorites like ’90s beauty Sibyl Buck walking alongside her daughter, many of the month’s most powerful moments involved the people who populate the catwalk.

The next generation of superstars was also angling for their moment in the spotlight. After all, you don’t become a household name without having that first opportunity to shine. The young people who made an impact during fall’s collections had personality and charm to spare. They were scholars (elegant Oxford grad Elisa Mitrofan), artists (Hong Kong–bred stunner Eliza Rutson), and hometown heroes (spirited Texan Millicent Rodges), all of whom made the collections exciting and fun. Whether they were sharing the spotlight with Miley Cyrus (agender beauty Juno Mitchell) or landing a coveted exclusive, these were the season’s standouts.
