Christy Turlington’s daughter Grace Burns, 19, made her debut at Milan Fashion Week on Wednesday.
Dressed in a sheer one-shouldered dress, she walked down the runway of the Alberta Ferretti spring 2024 show. Her dress was light pink with a floral design in various colors of muted green and maroon. Burns wore her hair long and straight, tucked behind her ears, as she made her way down the runway through the historic Castello Sforzesco.
She later posted an Instagram Reel of her runway moment, captioned, “@albertaferretti thank you thank you thank you for having me in your show… in a castleeeeee!!!!! So so so honored to be a part of this beautiful collection.”
Milan Fashion Week follows Burns’ first runway show ever in June, where she walked the British Vogue x LuisaVia Roma show in Florence. She wore a white Victoria Beckham dress with black lace gloves and stockings to match. She later wrote on Instagram that her catwalk debut was a “perfection of an experience.”
Burns also made an appearance in a campaign for Venezuelan fashion designer Carolina Herreracampaign with Turlington earlier this year.
The up-and-coming model currently attends NYU, where she has previously described herself as an aspiring writer, model and photographer.
Turlington had Burns at 35 with her husband Ed Burns, actor and filmmaker known for movies and TV shows such as 27 Dresses and Bridge and Tunnel.
Grace told Hommes magazine, “I was officially allowed to begin modeling at 18; that was the age my mom always had in mind, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.” She says that though she denied interest in the career to everyone, she looked forward to her 18th birthday for a long time. “My first job was last January, after my birthday, after I had gotten into College!”
