Learn all about Leah and Ava’s career and see why some of their fans have called them, “the most beautiful girls in the world.”
Leah and Ava Clements are eight-year-old identical twins.
On their seventh birthday, their mom, Jaqi, began an Instagram account for the girls and they quickly grew a large following.
Before they began modeling, the girls were enrolled in dance classes and swimming lessons.
They’ve actually been dancing since they were just two-and-a-half-years-old. Modeling seemed like the natural next step for these two budding performers.
In the first six months of their Instagram account, the girls had over 100,000 followers.
Many fans and followers quickly labeled the identical twins as “the most beautiful girls in the world”.
It’s been just over a year and a half since the Instagram account started, and Leah and Ava now have over one million followers.
Their social media success also landed them professional modeling contracts with a number of high-profile brands.
The girls have appeared in campaigns for the Disney store and Recess Kids.
They’ve also done runway shows for brands like Converse and Levi’s. It’s safe to say that Leah and Ava are in demand!
Their Instagram account quickly became a place to showcase their latest modeling campaigns.

However, a lot of people can’t help but wonder if Leah and Ava were forced into modeling by their parents.
It’s a question they get asked a lot, so they decided to answer it in their Instagram stories.
The girls said that they, “love modelling” and that their parents don’t force them to do it.
They also said they have lots of time for other activities, and playing and it’s not just, “model, model, model.”
“We always have fun,” they said when talking about their modeling experiences.
At the end of the day, that’s what’s most important, right? If they are loving it and having a good time, then I don’t see anything wrong with that.
They also said that they, “don’t model every single day.”
Leah and Ava attend school and only do modeling work on weekends or after school. The rest of the time, they’re learning, playing, and spending time with their family.
Even thought they have over one million followers on Instagram, they really are just normal eight-year-old girls.
They like doing things like watching Harry Potter movies and playing with their pet dogs.
While on photoshoots, the girls also have a chance to make friends with other young models.
They are surrounded by other talented kids who also have backgrounds in music or performance.
Ava and Leah’s older brother, Chase, is also a model.
Ava and Chase appeared on the cover for Lakeshore Learning two years before any of the kids began modeling professionally.
Ava and Leah are looking forward to connecting with their fans through YouTube in the coming months and growing their channel.
I’m sure we’re going to see these girls take over the modeling world one day. Congrats, Ava and Leah!
