Aged 17, she signed with a new agency and shortly afterwards became the face of Guess? Clothing. She also modelled for Ralph Lauren, and aged 18, she became the new face of Maybelline, New York, appearing in a TV advertising campaign alongside Christy Turlington, Julia Stegner, and Chrissy White just months after graduating from high school. She was soon established as one of the world’s most exciting models, with Vogue Germany lauding her as the Top Newcomer of New York Fashion Week in 2009.

Today, DiDonato is married and living in the Hamptons with her husband and two young children. However, she continues to work and vlog, with her hair and makeup tutorials on YouTube proving especially popular, gaining millions of views each.
