Meredith Duxbury in Conversation with Daise Bedolla: Get Ready with Meredith

NYC-based model, entrepreneur, and digital creator Meredith Duxbury has become one of the most influential voices of her generation — a true hybrid force seamlessly bridging fashion, beauty, and digital culture. With over 20 million followers across Instagram and TikTok, she first rose to prominence as a pioneer of the viral “Get Ready With Me” movement, redefining beauty content through her bold, boundary-pushing makeup techniques. What began as viral beauty moments has evolved into a multifaceted global career spanning runway, red carpets, editorial, and luxury brand partnerships.

Named to Forbes’ Top Fashion Creators and honored on the Forbes 30 Under 30 list in 2024, Meredith has rapidly emerged as a rising force in fashion. She made her runway debuts at New York, Milan, and Paris Fashion Weeks further cementing her presence on the international stage. She has also contributed to the Vogue app and was featured in Vogue’s Forces of Fashion 2024, signaling her growing influence within the industry’s most established institutions.

A regular fixture in the front rows of ready-to-wear and couture, Meredith frequently attends shows for houses including Versace and Valentino, alongside red-carpet events such as the CFDA Fashion Awards, Cannes Film Festival and Fashion Trust Awards. She recently modeled for Demna’s Gucci Pre-Fall lookbook and walked in Gucci’s FW26 Milan show, followed most recently by the house’s Cruise show, which took over Times Square. Her continued presence across Gucci’s most directional projects further underscores her credibility within high fashion’s most influential creative circles.

Meredith has served as a model and ambassador for leading global brands including Tory Burch, Charlotte Tilbury, BOSS, Mugler Fragrances, YSL Beauty, Gucci Beauty, Victoria’s Secret, Dior Beauty, and Prada Beauty. She regularly collaborates with leading industry experts including Mario Dedivanovic, Chris Appleton, Charlotte Tilbury , Sam Visser and the celebrated Pat McGrath — with whom she recreated the viral Jean Paul Gaultier “glass skin” makeup look. 

By seamlessly merging digital influence with high fashion credibility, Meredith continues to redefine what it means to be a modern multi-hyphenate — commanding attention across beauty, runway, editorial, and luxury while shaping the future of fashion in the digital era.
