Australia’s Next Top Model Star Lucy Markovic Passes Away at 27
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Lucy Markovic, the talented model who finished as runner-up on “Australia’s Next Top Model” in 2015. Markovic was just 27 years old when she left us, leaving behind a legacy of beauty, talent, and a fight against adversity.
Just three weeks ago, Markovic had announced that she would be undergoing surgery to treat a brain arteriovenous malformation (AVM), a condition that she had been battling for four years. Despite her brave efforts, Markovic sadly passed away just hours after fighting for her life.
Born and raised in Australia, Markovic began her modeling career at a young age, quickly making a name for herself in the industry. Her big break came when she was selected to compete on “Australia’s Next Top Model,” a reality TV show that showcases the best up-and-coming models in the country. Markovic’s stunning looks and captivating personality made her a fan favorite, and she eventually finished as the runner-up on the show.
Markovic’s success on the show led to numerous modeling contracts and opportunities to walk the runways for top designers such as Armani and Versace. Her striking features and confident demeanor made her a sought-after model, and she quickly became a household name in the Australian fashion community.
Despite her success, Markovic faced her fair share of challenges, particularly with her health. In 2018, she was diagnosed with a brain AVM, a rare condition that occurs when there is a tangle of abnormal blood vessels in the brain. The condition can cause symptoms such as headaches, seizures, and even stroke, and Markovic had been dealing with the effects of the condition for four years before her passing.
In the weeks leading up to her surgery, Markovic had been open about her struggles with her condition, using social media to document her journey and raise awareness about AVMs. Her bravery and resilience in the face of adversity inspired countless fans and fellow models, who rallied around her with messages of support and encouragement.
Markovic’s passing is a devastating loss for the modeling community and beyond. She was a talented and beautiful young woman who left us far too soon, and her memory will be cherished by all who knew her.
As we mourn the loss of this incredible young woman, we can take comfort in the knowledge that Markovic’s legacy will live on through her work and the impact she had on those around her. Her bravery and determination in the face of adversity will continue to inspire others to fight for their lives and to never give up in the face of challenge.
Rest in peace, Lucy Markovic. You will be deeply missed.
