Imagine this: a lively college student, the world of modeling at her fingertips, suddenly hit with a shocking reality—“You have cancer.” But for Isabella Strahan, backing down was never on the table. She rallied from the edge of death, defying all odds, and made a stunning comeback to the runway. Going from a hospital bed to gracing Kenneth Cole’s billboards, she showed us that resilience and determination can triumph over even the steepest hills. Now, she’s gearing up for another bold chapter in her career.
Isabella went through a lot with hospital visits and tough treatments, but she found an unexpected friendship that changed everything. Now, as a cancer survivor back in front of the camera, she sees life differently.
Recently, she posted on Instagram in front of her Kenneth Cole banner. Smiling in a white crop top and denim, she shared that she saw a familiar face — her own ad for Kenneth Cole. And guess what? She’s also collaborating with Victoria’s Secret’s PINK line, which is worth $1.7 billion.
She captioned the post, “Saddled up and ready to take on the night,” wearing the same crop top from the shoot and calling herself “America’s sweetheart” — a title that couldn’t be more fitting for someone like Isabella Strahan. Modeling wasn’t easy for her, but now she’s back after beating cancer.
Isabella Strahan is back in the modeling game after kicking cancer’s butt. Kenneth Cole’s latest Purposeful Voices campaign features the 20-year-old daughter of Good Morning America co-anchor Michael Strahan, Isabella Strahan, modeling seven outfits from the Spring 2025 women’s ready-to-wear line. In one clip, she shares, “I am alive. Isn’t that a beautiful thing?” — a motto she’s held dear since high school.
Her first modeling gig started in spring 2023 and launched last January, featuring the then-19-year-old in Sephora’s ads. Just three months earlier, in October 2023, she found out about her brain tumor and had to put college and modeling on hold for treatment. But you know what they say — it’s not how you fall, but how you get back up. And Isabella? She’s a true princess who knows how to rise again. Isabella Strahan’s journey back hasn’t been easy, but her dad, Michael Strahan, has been her biggest cheerleader every step of the way. Here͏’s what he ͏had to say about her latest campai͏gn.

In October 2023, Isabella, daughter of NFL legend Michael Strahan, was diagnosed with a brain tumor. Fast forward to July 2024, and she’s cancer-free, living the life of a typical 20-year-old college student, with an exciting twist: she just became the new face of Kenneth Cole’s spring campaign, which launched over the weekend.
“Being on set for this campaign was amazing,” Isabella shared with People. Her dad, Michael, has always supported her path. “I had the best time meeting everyone, and I was so comfortable. I went in the day before shooting the campaign for a fitting, and I was greeted with such kindness.” For the shoot, Isabella rocked seven different looks called “Isabella’s Picks,” from Kenneth Cole’s spring collection designed by Emily Cole. She is the brand’s new EVP and women’s creative director.
“We paired together lots of options. But ultimately ended up wearing what felt most like my style and my everyday look,” Isabella said. “I love that I had input, and I got to wear clothes that I felt comfortable in and loved.” While she hasn’t posted about the campaign yet, she did share some vacation snaps recently with her twin sister, Sophia.
Isabella Strahan keeps proving she has what it takes in the modeling world. Indeed, her talent and determination show she’s on track to become one of America’s top models.
