Early life
Rianne Frida Loes van Rompaey was born on 3 January 1996 in Hoofddorp, North Holland, to Dutch and Belgian parents, and raised in Wageningen, Gelderland, where she attended Montessori School before completing her VWO diploma at Pantarijn College. She began modelling while still in school, submitting photographs to the agency Paparazzi Models; her first published shoot ran in Elle Netherlands’ January and February 2013 issues.
A Louis Vuitton exclusive, 2014–2016
In 2014, the designer Nicolas Ghesquière selected Van Rompaey as a Louis Vuitton exclusive, a defining early booking that led to campaign work including the Spring/Summer 2016 campaign alongside Jaden Smith. By 2016, Models.com had ranked her among its "Top 50," describing her as one of the year’s biggest breakout stars, while both Elle UK and Harper’s Bazaar UK forecast a path to supermodel status; casting director Piergiorgio Del Moro told Vogue she would have "a long career because of her personality."
A landmark 2019
Van Rompaey’s biggest cover year came in 2019: four separate covers for Vogue Paris’s 1000th issue that September, plus March and May covers the same year, and three World Street Journal Magazine covers that same month. In December 2019, Models.com named her runner-up for Model of the Year.
Recent record
Van Rompaey has since been ranked a Models.com "Industry Icon," recognising more than seven years as a muse to major photographers including Patrick Demarchelier and Inez & Vinoodh, with cover credits across Vogue Italia, Vogue China, Vogue Germany, Vogue Japan, Vogue Korea, Vogue Russia, Vogue Netherlands and Vogue Paris (six or more times), plus The New York Times Style Magazine and Harper’s Bazaar. In 2024 she made her acting debut in the short film Faces, directed by David Findlay, and appeared in Chanel’s "A Cinematic Story" for its Autumn/Winter 2024/25 show.
