While she was honing her vocal skills, a young Amanda Seyfried also took up modelling. You’d think someone with her rare and stunning beauty would be walking the runway for some of Paris’ most iconic fashion houses like Givenchy or Yves Saint Laurent. But alas, this Pennsylvania lass had more humble beginnings striking a pose. You might remember author Francine Pascal for her fun YA series like “Sweet Valley Twins,” and “Sweet Valley High.” When she dropped her new heroine, Victoria Martin, for a series of books, young Seyfried became the series cover model. You can still find her book covers today, where she looks like she’s either drowning in pink, or like she went a little bonkers with the hair crimper.
It might not seem uber-glam by today’s standards, but the “Letters to Juliet” star told iNews in 2018 that it gave her a huge confidence boost “just because it was glamorous and because people let me.” She added, “I was made fun of at school for being pale and ugly.” Well, we bet those “mean girls” are eating their words now.
All those modelling gigs initially didn’t seem to be adding up to much, but her next series of gigs would take her to another level.
