Model profile: Meet Becca Rayne

Becca Rayne, born Rebecca Turpen, is a recent winner at Magnifique Showcase, which is operated by former “America’s Next Top Model” contestant Victoria Elizabeth.

In a note to CTFashionMag, Becca explained, “I was born in Savannah, Ga. I lived in Georgia until 2024 when we moved to Tallahassee, Fla. I have three brothers and one sister. I loved dancing, singing and spending time with my friends and family… I’m 5’3”, 100 pounds and my dog Gus Gus is my biggest fan… This journey began because of Misty Floyd and I’m excited to see where it takes me. 

There is more to Becca than just an ambition to be a fashion model. “I am a survivor of sexual assault and I am fighting for justice for not just myself but everyone out there.”
