Chinese model Grace Gao has only been modeling for a mere two years, but she is already making a splash in the fashion world, as demonstrated in the [Grace Gao Numero](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grace-stella4) China August 2011 issue.

The Chinese model is stunning in a fuss-free way that has been lacking in the modeling world as of late. Shot with ultra-thin eyebrows that are boldly opposite of the current trend, and intense [smoky eyes with dark burgundy lips](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/il-pranzo-campaign), the Grace Gao Numero China August 2011 spread is hard to forget.

Showing off a variety of looks, from classic items like a camel coat, black pencil skirt and white silk blouse, to more unconventional pieces like a billowy sleeved graphic print dress and tweed coat, Grace Gao shows the fashion world that with her ability to model a variety of different looks, she is not going anywhere soon.
