Romee Strijd

Modeling Appreciation

Romee Strijd was born on July 19, 1995, in Zoetermeer, South Holland. She was first spotted by a modeling scout in Amsterdam when she was just 13, an opportunity she declined at the time. Two years later, at 15, she embraced modeling, signing with DNA Model Agency in 2011. Although she paused her education to pursue modeling, she recognized its importance and, at 17, returned to the Netherlands to finish school. Upon graduation, she relocated to New York City to launch her career, bringing her striking features—5'11" stature, long legs, blue eyes, and long blonde hair—to the international fashion stage.

Romee’s early career gained momentum as she walked for numerous high-profile brands and graced the pages of leading fashion magazines. Her distinctive look and elegant frame attracted attention from designers and photographers, further solidifying her position in the industry. Her presence on the runway became notable for her confident stride and statuesque figure.

In 2014, Romee achieved a significant milestone when she was selected to join the Victoria’s Secret roster—a coveted recognition in modeling. Since then, she has appeared in their annual fashion shows and catalogues, becoming a familiar face among fans. Beyond Victoria’s Secret, Romee has continued to work with top-tier brands, collaborate on creative campaigns, and cultivate a powerful social media presence that enhances her career trajectory.
