A young woman, who had never considered the idea of modeling before, stunned fans as she dazzled on her very first magazine cover, all thanks to a photo of her from a nightclub that went viral on social media.
Ryli Johnson is a proud Aboriginal Australian from the rural town of Moree in New South Wales. She became an overnight sensation simply because she smiled for a picture with her boyfriend, Tyreice Baira Gela, during a night out in North Queensland in March.
Taken at The Bank Nightclub in Townsville, the photograph was shared on the venue’s social media page, thus changing the course of the 20-year-old woman’s life possibly forever. The self-described “small town little black girl” went viral for her natural beauty and was labeled the “most beautiful girl in Australia.”
