About Amber Valletta
Amber Evangeline Valletta was born on February 9, 1974, in Phoenix, Arizona, to Theresa Malley, a postal worker, and an Italian-American father whose identity is private. Raised in Tulsa, Oklahoma, with her mother and stepfather, Rick Malley, she grew up in a middle-class family with two half-siblings. At 15, she was scouted by a local agency while attending Booker T. Washington High School and enrolled in modeling classes at Linda Layman Agency in Tulsa. At 17, she signed with Elite Model Management and moved to Milan in 1991 to pursue modeling. Valletta is of Italian, Portuguese, and Cherokee descent, with her mixed heritage contributing to her distinctive look. She has referenced her Oklahoma roots as grounding her work ethic. She is primarily known as Amber Valletta, with no widely used aliases. In the 1990s, she was sometimes called “The Tulsa Titan” by fashion insiders for her rapid rise from Oklahoma.
Valletta rose to fame in the 1990s as a supermodel, known for her chiseled features and versatile elegance. She appeared on over 200 magazine covers, including Vogue (U.S., British, Italian), Harper’s Bazaar, Elle, W, and Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue, where she debuted in 1999. Her breakthrough came with her 1993 Vogue cover, shot by Steven Meisel, and her role as a face of Versace. She starred in campaigns for Chanel, Prada, Gucci, and Louis Vuitton, and was a Victoria’s Secret Angel from 1997 to 2000, appearing in catalogs and the 1998 and 1999 fashion shows. She walked runways for Alexander McQueen, Dior, and Fendi. Notable moments include her 1995 Vogue cover with Shalom Harlow and her 2000 W editorial with Kate Moss. Valletta continues modeling, appearing in Vogue Japan (2024) and Stella McCartney’s 2025 campaign.
Valletta signed with Elite Model Management in 1991, later working with Women Management and DNA Models. She maintains ties with global agencies for her ongoing work. Her editorial work includes Vogue (multiple editions), Harper’s Bazaar, W, Elle, i-D, and Allure. A muse for photographers like Meisel, Peter Lindbergh, and Inez & Vinoodh, she bridged high fashion and commercial appeal. Her work was featured in the 2009 Metropolitan Museum of Art’s The Model as Muse exhibition.
Valletta has a strong social media presence, with over 500,000 Instagram followers (@ambervalletta). She shares modeling shots, sustainability initiatives, and personal reflections, promoting her Master & Muse eco-conscious brand and engaging fans with her advocacy.
At 5’10” with blonde hair (often dyed) and green eyes, Valletta’s measurements were approximately 34"-24"-34" during her peak, with a 34B bra size. Known for her sharp cheekbones, intense gaze, and lean physique, she has not confirmed cosmetic surgeries, emphasizing fitness and clean living. She has no known tattoos or piercings.
Valletta’s appeal lies in her striking beauty and authentic presence. Fans and designers, like Donatella Versace, praise her as “a sculptural icon” for her architectural features and versatility. Her piercing eyes, defined jawline, and graceful movement are often highlighted, with her environmental activism setting her apart.
Her net worth is estimated at $30 million, earned through modeling, endorsements (Versace, Elizabeth Arden), her Victoria’s Secret work, acting roles, and her sustainable fashion initiatives like Master & Muse. She was a top-earning model in the 1990s, with high fees for campaigns and runways.
Valletta faced personal controversies, including public discussion of her struggles with drug and alcohol addiction in the 1990s, which she overcame and later addressed in interviews to advocate for recovery. Her environmental activism has drawn minor criticism from industry skeptics, but she remains a respected advocate.
Her acting roles include Hitch (2005, as Allegra Cole), The Spy Next Door (2010), Gamer (2009), and Dead Silence (2007). She appeared in TV shows like Revenge (2011–2012, as Lydia Davis) and Blood & Oil (2015), and starred in the music video for Fergie’s M.I.L.F. $ (2016). Valletta appeared on TV in America’s Next Top Model (2004, guest judge), House of Style (1990s, MTV correspondent), and The Super Models (2023, docuseries, as a guest). She guest-starred on The Oprah Winfrey Show, The Ellen DeGeneres Show, and CBS This Morning, discussing her career and sustainability. She featured in Eco Fashion: Going Green (2013, documentary).
Valletta was married to volleyball player Christian “Chip” McCaw (1993–1996) and to art dealer Christian Mortensen (2003–present), with whom she has a son, Auden (born 2000). She lives in Los Angeles and Tulsa, raising Auden and prioritizing family privacy while supporting his interests.
Valletta’s legacy lies in her role as a 1990s supermodel and her leadership in sustainable fashion. Her Victoria’s Secret work and high-fashion campaigns made her a global star, influencing models like Karlie Kloss. Her Master & Muse platform, launched in 2012, promotes eco-friendly designers, and she works with Fashion Revolution and the UN Climate Change initiative. Her openness about addiction recovery inspires resilience.
As of 2025, Valletta models selectively, appearing in campaigns for Everlane and editorials like Vogue Mexico. She promotes sustainable fashion through Master & Muse, shares advocacy content on Instagram, and speaks at events like the Copenhagen Fashion Summit. She focuses on raising her son and maintains her status as a fashion and environmental icon.
