Meet Leonardo DiCaprio’s Rumored New Girlfriend, Vittoria Ceretti

Vittoria Ceretti was born and raised in Brescia, Italy. When she and her cousin were 14, they jokingly sent pictures of themselves to the prestigious Elite Model Look contest. But they loved what they saw, so they invited her for a formal audition. She wound up as one of the finalists and earned a contract with the agency. Just two years after that, Ceretti got her big break when she modeled for the 2014 Dolce & Gabbana Fall/Winter collection. 

That got the ball rolling for her career as big names like Bulgari, Dior, Fendi, Prada, Chanel, Alexander McQueen, and more lined up to work with Ceretti. When she was only 18 and just four years into her career, the Italian model graced the cover of Italian Vogue. A few months after that, she joined a string of iconic models on the cover of American Vogue. In a Vogue Italia interview, casting director Piergiorgio Del Moro recalled that shortly after their first meeting, he knew there was something special about Ceretti. 

Del Moro praised her talents as a class apart from the rest, and the model reminisced that he let her cut to the front of the line. But Ceretti’s road to success was paved with several rejections. Del Moro admitted that certain brands were a little iffy about booking her because they believed Ceretti’s beauty was too traditional to fit their modern image. Now, the tables have turned, and these same brands want to work with Ceretti because of her dedication and demeanor.
