After Stella Tennant’s sudden death at the age of 50, fashion designers and photographers paid tribute to the iconic model on social media.
The fashion world is mourning the loss of iconic supermodel Stella Tennant, who died suddenly on Tuesday at the age of 50. After Tennant’s family confirmed her passing in a statement, British fashion designer Stella McCartney led the outpouring of celebrity tributes with a sweet Instagram post on Wednesday. “My darling Stella, I f—king love you and will miss you so, so terribly. What sad, horrific news to end this already shocking year,” she captioned an old photo with her late friend. “Rest in peace, you inspiring woman. Your soul and inner beauty exceeded the external perfection, Stella. May you ride high above us all on the most perfect horse, eternally in peace.” Victoria Beckham also shared memories of Tennant on Instagram, recalling that it was a “huge privilege” to have the supermodel open her first show at London Fashion Week in 2018. “I just loved everything about her. My thoughts are with her family,” she wrote. Tributes continued to pour in as Edward Enninful, editor-in-chief of British Vogue, posted a photo of Tennant in a blue Valentino gown on the magazine’s December 2018 cover — the last of the Scottish-born beauty’s many appearances in the pages of Vogue.
