Rather than an overnight ascent, Hoareau&#8217;s trajectory has been one of gradual momentum, with Maison Margiela&#8217;s viral Artisanal 2024 show marking a standout moment in her early career, when she took to the runway before appearing in an American Vogue editorial featuring the collection, photographed by Steven Meisel.<\/p>\n<p>In 2025, things really started heating up for Hoareau when Sarah Burton set her sights on her for Givenchy&#8217;s F\/W 25 runway. She went on to walk for the house three more times, most recently for S\/S 27, while also appearing in two campaigns for the brand, photographed by Collier Schorr and David Sims. Speaking about her connection with Burton and the house, Hoareau shared, &#8220;She&#8217;s really always cognizant of different types of body types and finding what looks good on you, corresponding to the type of your body.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"small-12 medium-12 columns\">\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/mdx\/i\/2026\/11\/003_1538_V3_16x9_HR.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1125\" class=\"alignnone size-full\" \/>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"pullquote\">&#8220;I really want to push myself in high fashion and do more because my objective now is to push for curve models.&#8221; <\/div>\n<div class=\"pic40\">\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/mdx\/i\/2026\/11\/002_1203_V3_4x5_HR.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1600\" height=\"2000\" class=\"alignnone size-full\" \/><\/div>\n<div class=\"txtbox\">\n<p>As a mid-size model, Hoareau has become a notable presence in the industry&#8217;s ongoing conversation around body representation, with Sarah Burton and casting director Jess Hallett championing different silhouettes on the runway. Having worked with some of the industry&#8217;s leading photographers, including Paolo Roversi, David Sims, Rafael Pavarotti, and Ethan James Green, Hoareau continued to build her editorial presence in 2026. The year also marked a major milestone as she landed her first two solo covers, one for Double Vision and another for Dazed, while recently returning to the Victoria&#8217;s Secret runway for the second time. With an already impressive body of work behind her, Hoareau is looking ahead to what&#8217;s next. When reflecting on her goals, the Paris-based model said, \u201cI really want to push myself in high fashion and do more because my objective now is to push for curve models.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"small-12 columns\" id=\"thumbs\" style=\"text-align:center;\">\n<h2>The Graduates<\/h2>\n<ul class=\"small-block-grid-2 medium-block-grid-7\" id=\"thumbsul\">\n<li id=\"thumb-achol-kuir\"><a href=\"\/mdx\/the-graduates-achol-kuir\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/mdx\/i\/2026\/11\/015_7299_V4_1x11_HR.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/mdx\/i\/2026\/11\/013_5869_V3_1x11_HR.jpg\" style=\"display:none\"\/><br \/>\n        Achol Kuir<br \/>\n      <\/a><\/li>\n<li id=\"thumb-alaina-rae\"><a href=\"\/mdx\/the-graduates-alaina-rae\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/mdx\/i\/2026\/11\/016_7708_V3_1x11_HR.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/mdx\/i\/2026\/11\/016_7486_V5_1x11_HR.jpg\" style=\"display:none\"\/><br \/>\n        Alaina Rae<br \/>\n      <\/a><\/li>\n<li id=\"thumb-emeline-hoareau\"><a href=\"\/mdx\/the-graduates-emeline-hoareau\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/mdx\/i\/2026\/11\/002_0640_V3_1x11_HR.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/mdx\/i\/2026\/11\/003_1538_V3_1x11_HR.jpg\" style=\"display:none\"\/><br \/>\n        Emeline Hoareau<br \/>\n      <\/a><\/li>\n<li id=\"thumb-fatou-kebbeh\"><a href=\"\/mdx\/the-graduates-fatou-kebbeh\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/mdx\/i\/2026\/11\/011_5430_V3_1x11_HR.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/mdx\/i\/2026\/11\/010_5088_V1_1x11_HR.jpg\" style=\"display:none\"\/><br \/>\n        Fatou Kebbeh<br \/>\n      <\/a><\/li>\n<li id=\"thumb-frauke-nijs\"><a href=\"\/mdx\/the-graduates-frauke-nijs\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/mdx\/i\/2026\/11\/005_3662_V5_EXT_1x11_HR.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/mdx\/i\/2026\/11\/004_3411_V5_1x11_HR.jpg\" style=\"display:none\"\/><br \/>\n        Frauke Nijs<br \/>\n      <\/a><\/li>\n<li id=\"thumb-lauren-huyskens\"><a href=\"\/mdx\/the-graduates-lauren-huyskens\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/mdx\/i\/2026\/11\/009_4877_V5_1x11_HR.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/mdx\/i\/2026\/11\/009_4952_V4_1x11_HR.jpg\" style=\"display:none\"\/><br \/>\n        Lauren Huyskens<br \/>\n      <\/a><\/li>\n<li id=\"thumb-saar-mansvelt-beck\"><a href=\"\/mdx\/the-graduates-saar-mansvelt-beck\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/mdx\/i\/2026\/11\/008_4439_V6_1x11_HR.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/mdx\/i\/2026\/11\/007_4281_V4_1x11_HR.jpg\" style=\"display:none\"\/><br \/>\n        Saar Mansvelt Beck<br \/>\n      <\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"separ bottom\"><\/div>\n<p><script>\n$(\"[id^='thumb-']\").hover(function() {\n    $(this).find('img').toggle();\n});\n<\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Graduates Emeline Hoareau For over a decade, Models.com\u2019s The Graduates series has served as a visual check-in with the models of the moment who have consistently performed at the highest levels, graduating from rising newcomers on the Hot List to the Top 50&#8217;s most recognizable faces.
