17-year-old Zoe Gabriel was previously shamed online earlier this year for sharing a video of herself at Charles & Keith, saying that they were a luxury brand.
She posted an update video about how her family scrimped and saved, and how she didn’t have much growing up, as she cried and said that her father had worked so hard for the money.
She was later invited by the founders of the brand to tour their company and have lunch with them and is now one of the models of the brand’s newest campaign.
Zoe was one of the models for Charles & Keith’s 2023 International Women’s Day campaign, and she shared a photo of herself on her Instagram yesterday, from one of the photoshoots.
She was posing with the Charles & Keith Alia Chain-Strap Crossbody Bag, which is one of their best-selling bags, accompanied with a handwritten note:
“Women are like flowers: Our time and needs to grow may not always align, but that is okay.
We are like fields of poppy and lakes of lotus — diverse and bold in our differences, beautiful in our own ways.
This International Women’s Day, let us celebrate with compassion. Let us celebrate with equality through equity, the way flowers do.”

- Congratulations! Well deserved and recognized!
- Definitely a blessing in disguise now that you’re their ambassador. Yes you gotta live your own life. There is no need for apologies or justifications to others on your own pursuits. Chase your own dreams.
- Proud of you girl, you are a gem in the making ❤️
