Some say that the tall and gorgeous move to NYC to storm catwalks, while the short and stunning move to L.A. to act. And sure, we’re not bumping into 6'3" drop-dead gorgeous gazelles on every street corner, but when all’s said and done, SoCal's no slouch in the looks department.

All it takes is one swirl through our sceniest establishments (the Chateau, BOA, or Soho House, if you're lucky!), to realize that our fair city lays claim to some serious strutters — we’re talking Alexa- and Agnes-level mugs and moxie. From ladies who’ve walked Chanel haute couture shows to dudes who book Gap gigs while moonlighting in punk bands, we’ve rounded up 13 of L.A.'s prettiest faces. So, take a gander, then keep a close eye on these local lookers — it’s only a matter of time before they'll be globe-trotting and gaining international acclaim!
