Overview
Quannah Rose Chasinghorse-Potts (born c. 2002) is an American model and actress. She appeared on the 2020 Teen Vogue list of Top 21 under 21.
Career
Chasinghorse was interested in modeling and fashion from a young age but, due to the lack of indigenous representation she found in magazines and fashion shows, did not think it was feasible as a career. In 2020, she landed a gig with Calvin Klein for their one future #ckone youth campaign. She then signed with IMG Models. She has since featured on the covers of Vogue Mexico, Vogue Japan, V Magazine, Elle, and Porter. She became recognised for her traditional face tattoos called Yidįįłtoo.
Chasinghorse makes a point of celebrating indigenous fashion and promoting sustainable indigenous brands. Her red carpet look at the Gilded Age themed Met Gala in May 2022 went viral on social media. The Navajo-inspired outfit was put together by Peter Dundas, Tabitha Simmons, Gucci Westman, and 2006 Miss Navajo Nation Jocelyn Billy-Upshaw, a family friend. Refinery29 called her the "breakout star" of the event. That same week, she walked her first runway at New York Fashion Week.
In March 2023, Chasinghorse was also named one of USA TODAY's Women of the Year honorees for her advocacy of "issues of environmentalism, sustainability, women's rights and Native American rights."
