Who is Diana Penty

Diana Penty is the latest buzzword that’s taken the modeling world by storm. Barely 21 years, standing 5 ft 10", this gorgeous model, albeit on the ultra skinny side is the latest rage – so much so that she’s replaced our Bollywood diva, Deepika Padukone as the face of Maybelline. And with this, she joins the ranks of international supermodels like Adriana Lima and Christy Turlington.

Name: DIANA PENTY

Age: She turned 21 in November.

Hometown: Mumbai. Her mother is Christian, her father Parsi. She has never faced any opposition from her parents, who have been extremely encouraging about her decisions.

Height: 5 ft 10″.

Vital stats: On the ultra-skinny side.

Modelling history: She has been with the Elite modelling agency for almost a year. Penty has completed her Bachelors in Mass Media from St Xavier’s, Mumbai, and wants to focus on her modelling career. She feels the time is right to step on the accelerator. She hopes to pursue studies at a later date but, for now, being a model is all she wants to think of.

First show: The Indo-Italian Festival held in three cities in September 2005. She did the show for Trussadi and Ferre. Penty has done a lot of ramp shows with Marc Robinson, a print campaign for Westside, and a shoot for Wendell.
