McKenna Hellam is an American fashion model.
Hellam, who has an older sister named Kaitlyn, was born in Atlanta, Georgia and grew up on a 15-acre farm in McDonough, Georgia.[1] An honor student and athlete, she graduated high school two years early as well as being an equestrienne.[2]
At the age of 15, Hellam signed to IMG Models. She debuted walking for Alexander Wang's S/S 2017 show, who requested that she cut her hair. That haircut was done by Guido Palau and proved to be a successful change for her career as she subsequently walked in 24 shows in her first season, including Prabal Gurung, Givenchy, Burberry, Missoni, and Dolce & Gabbana.[1] [2]
Hellam has been on the cover of the Evening Standards magazine,[3] Vogue Turkey (alongside models Charlee Fraser and Julia Hafstrom),[4] and Wonderland. She has appeared in advertisements for Salvatore Ferragamo,[5] Chanel, Polo Ralph Lauren, Nike, Inc., and Stella McCartney.
