Gemma Ward is an Australian supermodel & actress. One of the most celebrated models in the world, she is considered a model of the moment by many fashion insiders & fans alike, with her baby doll-like look inspiring a new craze in fashion.

Ward was born in Perth, Western Australia, as the second child of Gary & Claire Ward. Her older sister, Sophie, is also a model & she has younger twin brothers, Oscar & Henry Ward. As said herself in a Teen Vogue interview, she accompanied her friends to a modeling competition & ended up being scouted herself. "I had come straight from my auntie & uncle's farm, & I was wearing this big gray barn jacket with mud all over it. When the scout came up to me, I said, "No, thank you." But my friends were like, "Hell, yes!' They forged my mum's signature (for mandatory parental consent), & pushed me in front of the cameras." Ward didn't win the competition, but Vivien's Model Agency picked her up, & then after seeing a small picture of her in an Australian magazine New York's IMG.

Career
At just sixteen, Ward was the youngest model chosen to be in a Vogue shoot of nine "It Girls" in the modeling world, which also included fellow supermodels Daria Werbowy, Gisele Bündchen, Natalia Vodianova & Karolína Kurková. She has been in campaigns from Jil Sander to Yves Saint-Laurent, & has been in shows for designers such as Versace, Gucci, Chanel, Valentino, Alexander McQueen, & many more. Ward has also graced prestigious magazine covers such as Vogue, W, & TIME Magazine's Style & Design issue. In September 2004, at the age of 16, Ward became the youngest fashion model on the cover of the American edition of Vogue & was the the first model to appear on the cover of Teen Vogue magazine. She is the first model since Kate Moss to be the face for Calvin Klein's perfume "Obsession Night for Men" along with Philadelphia male model, Drew Keilt.

Ward is currently being considered a model of the moment by many fashion insiders & fans alike, having been described at times of having an out-of-this-world look. A look similar to Olivia Goodman. British photographer Nick Knight stated, "Gemma is one of the very, very few models who look as though they come from another dimension." She currently lives in New York & is close friends with fellow models Marissa Johnson, Lily Donaldson, Caroline Winberg, Daria Werbowy, & Lily Cole. Marissa Johnson, heiress to Johnson & Johnson fortune & Ward have been friends since Ward entered the modeling industry, they are both some of the highest paid young models in the industry.

Ward's baby doll-like look inspired a new craze in fashion. Fashion designer Lazaro Hernandez tells Teen Vogue (February 2006), "She looked like no one else at the time. She was this alien, & fashion is always looking for newness." Her look became the popular new look among models. It has inspired a new generation of baby doll-like models such as Vlada Roslyakova, Heather Marks, & Jessica Stam.

In Allure magazine (October 2006), Ward is described as "the model of the moment." Allure's creative director Paul Cavaco knows why: "We went through a period that was very va-va-voom, but now the pendulum has swung back. Gemma is ethereal, not earthy." Photographer Michael Thompson says, "She's an exotic blonde, the rarest of creatures."

Ward has long aspired to pursue acting & drama is a passion that she has held since she was a child. She has been cast in Australian director Elissa Down's upcoming film 'The Black Balloon' also starring Toni Collette & Rhys Wakefield, as the girlfriend of a boy whose brother has autism. She was recently cast opposite Liv Tyler in the suspense thriller The Strangers as one of the three masked intruders. She also appeared in "Daughters" by John Mayer. She is no relation of 1980s British model Ali Ward.
