LOOK: Melanie Marquez' gorgeous daughter is following in her footsteps

3 min read

You’ve probably seen her in magazines and advertisements but you probably didn’t know that the striking Michelle Dee is the daughter of one of the country’s most iconic beauties, Melanie Marquez.

The daughter of a supermodel and beauty queen, it’s no surprise that Michelle has eventually found her way into the spotlight. Discovered when she attended a fashion event with her mom in Cebu, the 21-year-old soon found herself making her modeling debut as part of Bench’s 2016 summer campaign, which is one of the biggest in the country which launched the careers of  the likes of Shaina Magdayao and Richard Gomez.

Just a quick scan of her Instagram will be enough for her followers to see that the self-confessed tomboy, with her flawless and angular features, possesses a certain cool mysterious quality that’s set to make her one to watch out for.

Beauty twins

Her mom Melanie Marquez started joining beauty pageants at the tender age of 15. She bagged the Miss International crown in 1979 and went on to become one of the most memorable supermodels of the 80s. She has six kids, including Michelle, two of whom have special needs. She has one kid with the late actor-politician Lito Lapid.

We expect great things from this newbie fashion model. She’s just begun but she’s already grabbed the attention of the fashion world, including young, talented fashion photographer BJ Pascual, who gushed about the 5’9″ stunner on his Instagram.

“I’m in love,” he wrote alongside a photo with the rising model.
