Could It Be That Model Natalia Montero Is Finally Getting Her Flowers?

Could It Be That Model Natalia Montero Is Finally Getting Her Flowers? AOC Fashion

Harper’s Bazaar Colombia [IG] makes its fashion magazine debut to major applause for their cover model Natalia Montero and her story in this first issue. Watching Montero’s videos on IG, she moves like a ‘60s-’70s model — which bares almost no relationship with today’s models, who seem to just stand there, more often than not.

Natalia Montero is a big wow. How she moves is a big wow. How she looks is an even bigger wow. All of a sudden, we have Awar Odhiang closing Chanel’s SS2026 show last October, running around the stage with her arms flung open. Then Bhavitha Mandava becoming a Chanel ambassador in record speed, bringing her sophisticated beauty and positivity — okay, joy — and now Natalia Montero is making a big impression.

Montero is not a new girl. She was featured by Porter Edit February 2019 in The New Guard. Also in ‘Neutral Suiting’, appearing with Saidou Diallo in WSJ Magazine and ‘White Nights’ for Vogue UK December 2018. For reasons that make little sense to me — except that rich people often see smiling as associated with low class — Montero hasn’t had the backing AOC believes she deserves.
