𝐋𝐚𝐮𝐫𝐚 𝐑𝐞𝐲𝐞𝐬: A Dominican Dream on the World’s Biggest Stages

With roots in Santo Domingo Este, Dominican Republic, and a runway presence that commands attention across Paris, Milan, and New York. Represented globally by IMG Models in major fashion capitals — New York, Paris, London, Milan, Los Angeles, Sydney — and by Francina Models in Barcelona, Laura embodies the rise of a new generation of diverse and fearless beauty.

A Meteoric Rise to the Top

At just 23 years old, Laura Reyes has captivated the world of high fashion. She debuted exclusively for Prada, one of the most coveted milestones for any model, and quickly followed up with major appearances for Etro, Gabriela Hearst, FFORME, Ulla Johnson, and Maison Valentino, among others. Her striking features — radiant dark skin, soulful brown eyes, and poised stature (5'10.5" / 179 cm) — have earned her the admiration of top casting directors and designers alike.

In 2025, Laura continued to shape her presence with standout editorials in American Vogue, GQ U.S., and Present Space, working with legendary photographers such as Tyler Mitchell, Diego Vourakis, and Tim El Kaïm. She also became the face of Prada Beauty's Augmented Skin campaign, confirming her crossover into the beauty world.

Dominican Pride on the Global Stage

What makes Laura’s rise even more powerful is her background. Coming from a humble household — her mother works in a free-trade zone, and her father takes on informal jobs — Laura’s journey is a testament to resilience and talent. She was discovered by renowned talent scout Almando Pereyra, who introduced her to Nefer Model Management and modeling coach Nileny Dippton, laying the foundation for her rapid international ascent.

“I want to show young girls in the Dominican Republic that it's possible,” Laura once shared. “We come from modest beginnings, but with dedication and the right support, the world is within reach.”

Championing Representation and Resilience

Though her rise hasn’t been without its challenges — including racist comments online — Laura continues to face adversity with grace and clarity. “There’s no room for racism in the present or the future,” she has declared. “We are all equal — and beauty has no single standard.”

This fearless approach has resonated within an industry gradually opening up to more inclusive narratives. Her unique beauty, body structure, and confidence have made her a favorite not only on the catwalk but also in the editorial world, where she continues to deliver timeless, expressive images.

A Bright Future

As she continues to build her portfolio — from magazine covers to luxury campaigns — Laura Reyes represents more than just a model to watch. She’s an icon in the making, a symbol of Afro-Caribbean beauty and elegance, and a powerful reminder that fashion's future lies in its diversity.

With agencies and brands lining up to work with her, Laura’s future is not just promising — it’s inevitable.
