Emily DiDonato
(born February 24, 1991) is an American model. She was raised in a
small town in Orange County in upstate New York and is of Irish and
Italian ancestry. After a family friend encouraged her to pursue
modeling, she signed with Request Model Management in 2008 and booked
jobs as the face of Guess? clothing for spring 2009 and as a model in
Ralph Lauren's "Rugby" spring 2009 advertisement campaign. In May 2009,
she was signed as the latest face of Maybelline New York, a notable
accomplishment for a model who had just graduated from high school with
only a few months of modeling experience, and made her television
commercial debut for the company's "Color Sensational Lip Color" line,
alongside Christy Turlington, Jessica White, and Julia Stegner. DiDonato
began modeling for Victoria's Secret in August 2009, and appeared on
her first magazine cover with The Block's October 2009 issue.
