PUTTING THE “SUPER” IN SUPERMODEL
Rising to fame early when she landed the cover of Seventeen at just 14 years young, Niki Taylor became a fixture on magazine covers and global runways. “Six” was a common theme in her career— she was both the only model to ever grace the cover of six major American magazines in one month, and she was the first model under 18 to sign a CoverGirl contract. Calendars, runway shows and sponsorships with some of the world’s most celebrated brands soon followed.
A brief hiatus in 2001 gave Taylor the time to focus on other passions, and she took the opportunity to open a clothing store with her manager and begin an organization designed to support aspiring women entrepreneurs.
Niki Taylor continues to redefine what it means to be a modern icon. In a dazzling return to the runway during New York Fashion Week 2025, she closed the Coolibar Mott50 Edition showcase with the same poise, confidence, and unmistakable star power that first made her a household name. True to form, Taylor used the spotlight for purpose, championing an important message of sun safety through her partnership with Coolibar. More than thirty years since her debut, she remains a trailblazer in beauty, fashion, and advocacy, continuing to inspire with elegance that evolves, yet never fades.
THE deBOULLE CONNECTION
Since 1983, deBoulle has established itself as a force in the luxury world. The spirit of family has always been a core part of the deBoulle story — and it’s a key reason why Taylor has remained a brand ambassador for the brand since 2019.
“They are family. It’s not work when you’re working with family,” she said. “I have always championed artists and family businesses. Family businesses have a rare kind of internal support, and that makes it a great experience.”
As memorable as any number of her other modeling moments, working with deBoulle has not been without its fair share of new and even humorous occasions.
“I am an animal lover,” she declared. “A past shoot, we worked at a horse farm — and horses bring such peace and tranquility to the shoot.”
Taylor also shared that she enjoys dressing up for a special occasion, adding lavish pieces when the moment calls for it.
“A black dress and a nice necklace-and-earring combination,” she explained, is her go-to choice for a dressy affair. Otherwise, though, she “tends to favor simple and elegant.”
The model showcases both ornate and understated pieces in deBoulle’s advertising campaigns, exuding the same level of mesmerizing glamour as the jewelry itself. Adorned with everything from exquisite statement necklaces to dazzling drop earrings, all crafted from the finest materials, Taylor serves as a memorable spokesperson for the brand’s fine jewelry. It is a fitting collaboration, given that Taylor is known for her elegance and timeless appeal, which mirrors the brand’s jewelry.
A LIFE OF BALANCEDespite her meteoric climb to fame and status as one of the world’s most renowned supermodels for decades, Taylor has always sought to remain grounded. She keeps a home in Nashville and has noted that she appreciates the laid-back lifestyle that is the very antithesis of the highflying modeling lifestyle that made her a household name.
Family has always been at the core of everything Taylor has done, and from a young age, it was important to her to maintain that connection with her roots. She has credited both her family and her faith with helping her overcome obstacles during her journey. Her preference and desire for normalcy are woven through everything she does.
A CONTINUING BONDReflective of the deBoulle legacy of beauty, grace and excellence, Niki Taylor is truly the perfect ambassador for the brand. It is a testament to the principle both share, that family and relationships are everything.
