Born on June 4, 1998, Lucky Blue Smith started his career when he was just 12 years old. He is well known for his platinum blonde hair, which he dyed on the suggestion of his agency Next Model Management.
Smith is the youngest of four siblings and the only male. His mother Sheridan is a former model and his father Dallon is a hobbyist musician who started a guitar-string company. He grew up in the small town of Spanish Fork, Utah.
He was scouted with his three sisters in Utah when he was 10 and began his career when he was 12. Upon being signed with NEXT Model Management, he and entire Smith family (who are all Mormon) moved to Los Angeles where the younger children are homeschooled. Shortly after their arrival, Smith and his siblings were photographed by Hedi Slimane for Vogue Homme Japan which generated immediate attention.
Smith's modeling career especially took off after he dyed his hair platinum blond at his agent's advice. By 2015, he had shot a dozen magazine covers and fronted fashion campaigns for Philipp Plein and Tom Ford.
He and several other models appeared in Tom Ford's fashion video with Lady Gaga for SS16. Smith has walked for labels such as Tom Ford, Versace, Michael Kors, Etro and Bottega Veneta. He has also been featured in campaigns for CK One (photographed by by Mario Sorrenti), Moncler (photographed by Annie Leibovitz), a Gap campaign and a Tommy Hilfiger campaign. He has also been featured in ads for Levi's and H&M and been on the cover of Harper's Bazaar.
