Palm Beach babe Madisyn Ritland's star is on the rise. At the tender age of 17, she gave modeling a test run, making an appearance at the Francesco Scognamilgio show in Milan. Then she disappeared for two years, perhaps realizing that she was too young to take on the harsh of modeling? Now at 19, she's signed with Silent Models in Paris, also home of Brazilian bombshell Ana Beatriz Barros and Michael Kors' muse Carmen Kass. Christian Lacroix came knocking, requesting her for his resort presentation in June. A month later, she looked drop dead gorgeous at his couture show and at Valentino. Maybe good things do happen to those who wait.
