Shehas walked for VersaceDior, Celine and Louis Vuitton, and fronted beauty andfashion ad campaigns for the likes of Tory Burch, Dolce & Gabbana,Bulgariand Prada. One of the early moments that really solidified her career, however, was her first beauty contract with Chanel.

“That’s when I was like, ‘What happened? How did I get here?” Ceretti recalled during an interview withVogue.

Another milestone? Her first AmericanVoguecover. “Me as an 18-year-old being asked to be on that cover? I mean it’s still shocking to me to think about it,” she added.

However, in late 2022, Ceretti stopped sharing photos of Milleri on social media.

Ceretti may look like a natural on the runway, but for a long time she wasn’t sure if modeling was something she wanted to do long-term. “I didn’t always want to be a model, but once I started, I realized how much I loved it,” she toldVogue, following her first cover photoshoot forVogue Italia.

Apart from the beauty and fashion, Ceretti said one of the best perks of her job is being able to jetset around the world.

“With this job, I got to see cities like New York, and even move here, which I never imagined doing. Meeting new, creative people almost every day is also a nice bonus—so many people in fashion have rich knowledge and ideas that I couldn’t absorb anywhere else,” she explained.

She worked closely with Karl Lagerfeld

Over the course of her career, Ceretti developed a strong working relationship with German fashion designerKarl Lagerfeld, who died in 2019. In his honor, the 2023 Met Gala was titled “Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty,” and Ceretti was in attendance. Before walking the red carpet, shepenned a heartfelt tributeto Lagerfeld on Instagram, writing how “grateful” she is to have known him personally.

“Dear Karl,” she began. “I’ve been spending the past 4 years thinking about you nearly everyday. I remember the sound of your voice like you were speaking to me yesterday or the way you pronounced my name with your French accent. The feeling of your leather gloves while you’d hold my hand proudly, looking at the computer screen to see the pictures we had just shot together.”

She concluded, “You gave me so much. I will be grateful for you forever!”
