NEW YORK – A hot new bombshell has entered the villa New York Fashion Week runway.
"Love Island USA" Season 7 star Olandria Carthen made her fashion week modeling debut at the Sergio Hudson show Friday – with her costar and romantic partner, Nicolas Vansteenberghe, on hand to cheer her on in the front row.
For the Sept. 12 show, Carthen was one of the early models on the runway, with the self-proclaimed "Bama Barbie" looking every bit doll-like in a voluminous brown animal-print blouse, black micro shorts and black lace up heels. The look was completed with a black oversized belt and statement gold earrings.
As Carthen, 27, made her way down the runway, Vansteenberghe pulled out his phone to record her, beaming with pride and smiling as the crowd applauded while she made her way around the room. Vansteenberghe, 24, opted for a chic all-black ensemble for his front row jaunt in a turtleneck paired with a matching jacket and tuxedo pants.
Fellow "Love Island USA" star Serena Page, who made history in Season 6 with boyfriend Kordell Beckham as the first Black couple to win the show, sat next to Vansteenberghe and excitedly recorded as Carthen strutted by.
