The 18-year-old beauty made her runway debut at Paris Fashion Week on Tuesday, walking for luxury labels Valentino and Celine.

It’s been a meteoric rise for the country girl, who signed her first modelling contract with Chic Management less than one month ago.

“It was a bit of a risk to send her straight to Paris, especially for a girl who had zero experience, but we felt with feedback we were getting that if she got one show that would be amazing but to get three of the best shows – that exceeded our expectations and hers,” Stephanie’s agent said.

Stephanie has now been signed to Next Model Management in the US and Chic’s Paris and Milan arms. She is planning to stay on in Europe for a short holiday before returning to Australia for Mercedes Benz Fashion Week next month.
