Guess Who This Future Model Turned Into!

Before this sweet girl in her birthday dress turned into a supermodel, she was entering local fashion shows in her hometown of DeKalb, Illinois ... and eventually taking things to a higher level when she was just a teenager.

She definitely made her modeling mark on the world back in the '80s and '90s and was iconically snapped with Naomi Campbell and other popular models of that time.

In the early 2000s she tapped into the furniture industry, so the next time you hit up a Rooms to Go, you may wind up sitting on one of her sofas.
