Introducing ELLE Australia’s September cover star, our 2026 ELLE Next Gen Model Of The Year winner Latahlia Hickling! We’ve dubbed her Australia’s Next Top Model, and for good reason. At just 19, Latahlia has gone from living in a small NSW town to storming down major fashion runways, including making her modelling debut at Chanel’s spring/summer 2026 show. And she’s not just a pretty face; Latahlia is one of the hardest-working models in the business. “I’m thinking about a million things while the cameras are clicking, trying to listen to direction and be aware of what I’m doing,” she says of the mental game that goes on behind each shot. “It always surprises me how the photos turn out.” Click the link in our bio to read the full interview. ELLE Australia’s September issue is on newsstands across the country from September 7. #ELLENextGen @elleaus Talent: Latahlia Hickling @latahlia.hickling Editor: Jessica Bailey @jessicalbailey_ Fashion Director/Stylist: Naomi Smith @naomismith Photographer: Conrad Aleksander @conradaleksander Hair: Sophie Roberts @sophierobertshair Chanel Makeup Artist: Victoria Baron @victoriabaron Chanel Manicurist: Tulin Coban @tulincoban Movement Director: Matthew Gode @matthewgode Fashion Assistant: Benji Luis @benjiluisss Interview: Pema Bakshi @pemabakshi Production: Nicola Hanratty @nicolahanratty Wearing: @chanelofficial Beauty: @chanel.beauty

@moon_scarred What I have been doing is protecting Jack, but he doesn't seem fazed by what I'm doing.
@moon_scarred Somebody should also inform ms. Elson, that I have more evidence. That I am willing to release to the press.
@moon_scarred FYI Karen elson stabbed her son when he was three years old. She's trying to steal Jack White's music, and she's blackmailing him. With her treachery. Come see my page.
