An American citizen measuring 5 feet 9 inches (175.3 cm), Taylor Marie Hill boasts a diverse ethnic lineage comprising Cornish, Dutch, English, French, German, Irish, Scots-Irish/Northern Irish, Scottish, Swiss-German, and Welsh, with remote Austrian and Flemish (Belgian) roots.
On April 12, 2025, Taylor Hill brought her signature laid-back edge to the Revolve Festival in the California desert. Blending vintage western flair with modern boho, she curated a festival-ready look that was effortlessly cool and grounded in Free People’s free-spirited aesthetic.

Early Life and Modeling Roots: A Family of Rising Stars
A Victoria’s Secret Angel since 2015 and born to Jennifer Rea (Tate) and David Glenn Hill, the allure of modeling seems to run in the family.
Two of her siblings, Mackinley Hill and Chase Hill, have also made names for themselves in the modeling industry.
Born in 1996 in Palatine, Illinois, and growing up in Arvada, Colorado, Hill attended Pomona High School, where she was discovered at 14 by Jim Jordan, an agent for White Cross Management.

Jim Jordan discovered her during a horse-riding lesson at a ranch in her hometown, Granby, Colorado. Hill signed with IMG the same year. At 15, she left high school and got her GRE a year later.
Before long, Taylor made waves at high-profile fashion events, turning heads with her modeling presence and personal style.

Even though most models have glam squads on hand 24/7, some still like to show off what they can do. And, as it turns out, Victoria’s Secret model Taylor Hill can give the pros a run for their money.
In September 2016, the then-20-year-old was aglow at Jimmy Choo’s 20th anniversary event in New York, and she didn’t need professional help to attain it.
Other stars who impressed on the red carpet included Diane Kruger in a sleek black jumpsuit paired with studded Jimmy Choo ‘Koko’ sandals, Chanel Iman in a nude August Getty mini dress complemented by Jimmy Choo ‘Minny’ sandals, and Amber Valletta in a glittering Misha Collection fringe dress.

Taylor wore a black velvet dress by Brandon Maxwell with a rounded neckline. In August 2016, Naomi Campbell wore the dress in a different color at the 2016 MTV Video Music Awards.
The model complemented her look with burgundy velvet Jimmy Choo “Lola” sandals—the same style Naomi Watts wore in navy velvet with an Elie Saab gown at The Bleeder premiere during the 73rd Venice Film Festival.
