Kelly Hughes was born and raised in Miami, Florida, where she started modeling over 20 years ago with Next Models. Along with a successful career modeling, Kelly is also a mother and an entrepreneur. She started her genderless line of jewelry, HÜES in 2009. Today it can be found in high-end boutiques and hotels across the country. However, she will tell you that her most rewarding job and important role is that of being a mother to her 4-year-old son, Harlem. Kelly was most recently featured in a Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue as the first model in the magazine’s history to show her c-section scar which has led her to be an advocate for inclusivity in fashion and for women embracing their scars and loving on their imperfections.
