She made national news last week when she walked the runway as the youngest transgender model at a New York fashion show.
When 10-year-old Noella McMaher, the youngest transgender, will walk the runway at the New York Fashion Week in September she will already be counted among the show’s veterans. Noella now has plans of walking the runway in Paris next year. Fashion insiders say she could earn her first million in the next year, making her a star in her own right.
Noella’s parents claim that she had a “fierce and confident sense of identity” from birth. She made her NYFW debut in February as one of the several trans and non-binary models walking for the Trans Clothing Company. However, she was the event’s youngest participant in history. Her parents both identify as transgender, and she has a young brother known as a “theybie.”
Noella, who was born a girl but now identifies as non-binary, has an active social media presence and what appears to be a happy home life with her parents, Dee McMaher, 35, and Ray McMaher, 32.
