Lucky Blue Smith (born June 4, 1998)[5] is an American fashion model. He was scouted at the age of 10 and signed to an international modeling agency by the age of 12.

Modeling career

Smith grew up in the city of Spanish Fork, Utah.[6] He is the youngest of four siblings and the only male. Smith was scouted with his three sisters in Utah when he was 10 and began his modeling career when he was 12.[7] Upon being signed with Next Management, he and the entire Smith family moved to Los Angeles where the younger children were homeschooled. Shortly after their arrival, Smith and his siblings were photographed by Hedi Slimane for Vogue Homme Japan which generated immediate attention.

Smith's modeling career especially took off after he dyed his hair platinum blond at his agent's advice, which became his signature look for some time.[8] [9] By 2015, he had shot a dozen magazine covers[10] and fronted fashion campaigns for Philipp Plein and Tom Ford.[11] He and several other models appeared in Tom Ford's fashion video with Lady Gaga for SS16.[12]

He has appeared in editorials for American, French, Spanish, and Ukrainian Vogue, GQ, British Elle, Marie Claire, V, Numéro, i-D, LOVE, and W.Smith has appeared on the covers of French and Spanish Vogue, GQ, V, and Harper's Bazaar.[13]

Smith has walked the runways for Fendi, Chanel, Roberto Cavalli, Moschino, Emporio Armani, DSquared2, Salvatore Ferragamo, Philipp Plein, Ralph Lauren, Balmain, Tom Ford, Marc Jacobs, Ermanno Scervino, Versace, Jeremy Scott, Michael Kors, John Varvatos, Etro and Bottega Veneta.[13]

He has appeared in advertising campaigns for Tom Ford, Calvin Klein, Moncler, Tommy Hilfiger, Philipp Plein, Mavi, Penshoppe, H&M, Gap, Big C and L'Oreal.[13]

Music career

In 2009, Smith and his three sisters formed a surf-rock band called The Atomics. Smith is the drummer and has stated that music is his real passion.[14] [15] The band is also represented by Next.[16] [17]

Personal life

He was raised in Utah by a family who were members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Smith's mother, Sheridan Smith, is a former model. His father, Dallon Smith, is a hobbyist musician who started a guitar-string company.[18] His three older sisters are Cheyenne Starlie Smith (b. 1993), Daisy Clementine Smith (b. 1996), and Pyper America Smith (b. 1997), who are all models and social media personalities. The children were purposefully given relatively uncommon or very unique names to offset having the most common surname in the United States.[19]

Smith has a daughter named Gravity Blue Smith with his former partner Stormi Henley.[20]

On February 21, 2020, Smith married model Nara Pellman.[21] Smith has three children (Rumble Honey, Slim Easy, and Whimsy Lou) with Pellman.[22]

Recognition

In 2015, Teen Vogue named Smith the "Model of the Moment".[23] A relative newcomer, he was named to Models.com's "Top 50 Male Models" for 2015[24] and had the second highest number of social media followers of all male models in the industry.[25] Many in the fashion industry acknowledge that Smith's popularity (especially among teenage girls and boys) on social media is a deciding factor for brands and editors who have hired him.[26]
