Ella also shared photos from the Vanity Fair photoshoot 

She had previously caught the eye of the president of IMG Models, Ivan Bart, who told The New York Times: "It's not really about shape, size, or gender anymore. Ella communicates this moment in time. There's a cheekiness and a joy she exudes."

Ella hadn't planned to forge a future in modelling and told the publication: "I was pretty surprised when everything with IMG was happening because when I was younger, I never saw that as being part of my timeline.

Ella has a unique sense of style

But Ella hopes to be a "part of that change" and has been delighted to be able to display her "really weird tattoos and kind of funky haircut."

She had to convince her dad, stepmum and mother, that modelling was a good idea though. 

"Modelling can be a pretty intense industry," she added. "They were a little protective of me."

However: "When they saw my interest in it and saw what is changing in that world,” she said. “I think they’re pretty excited I can be part of that."
