Chanel Iman — who is apparently as beautiful inside as out — was awarded for her support of the Fresh Air Fund, an organization that aims to give children unforgettable summer experiences by connecting them to the outdoors through family hosting or camping activities.
Measuring 5ft 9 (175.3 cm), Chanel was given an award of appreciation at Fresh Air Fund’s recent spring benefit held in New York.

The average height for adult women in the United States is about 5 feet 4 inches (162.6 cm), which means Chanel Iman is significantly taller than the average height for adult women in the United States. She started modeling at age 14.
“I was 12 when I signed with an agency, but I didn’t really start working until I was 14,” she told Teen Vogue in 2013.
“My very first job was walking a runway during L.A. Fashion Week. I don’t remember who the designer was, but I remember everybody clapping. When they sent me to New York to do shows and no one clapped, I thought I was doing something wrong.”

Chanel wore a gorgeous white dress, which showed off a little bit of cleavage before it tapered out to a rectangular cutout at the navel.
The dress also boasted two thigh-high slits that showed off the model’s perfect legs.

Chanel finished her look by donning several rings, dropdown earrings, and the Stuart Weitzman “Sultry” sandals in gold.

We’re not quite sure exactly how the 25-year-old American model is involved in the organization, but if she gets an award, we’d trust that she’s doing a great thing for the children.
