'Prison Bae' Jeremy Meeks Just Made His NYFW Debut and No One Can Breathe
14 February 2017
For anyone that has dreams of Broadway musical smash hit Chicago's plot vaguely happening IRL, you're in luck: like Roxy Hart 'hot convict'/'hot felon'/'prison bae' Jeremy Meeks just became a bonafide star.
In his New York Fashion week debut, viral sensation Meeks opened Philipp Plein's show at the New York Public Library last night and predictably looked like a freaking dream.
Meeks, who was sentenced for a felony weapons conviction, became highly sought after by modelling agencies around the world after his mugshot was released in 2014. He eventually signed to White Cross Management.
The married model – who has since almost racked up one million followers on Instagram – can now be spotted hanging with fashion's elite, even cradling former French Vogue editor Carine Roitfeld.
Cradle me, Jeremy.
