At just 16 years old, Annabel Kiki is already making waves in the fashion world. A UK model who lost her leg to a rare bone cancer in 2022, Annabel has embraced the powerful motto: “It’s not what happened to me, it’s what I choose to become.” Signed with the exclusive Zebedee Talent agency, she’s on a mission to become the world’s first mainstream runway model who walks the international catwalks with a prosthetic leg—not because of it, but in spite of it.
Annabel is transforming her newfound fame into a force for good. Her journey is not only about breaking barriers in the fashion industry, but also about offering hope and representation to others who face similar challenges. Take 6-year-old Jeevna, who lost her leg at the age of 3. The young girl travelled across the country to see Annabel walk at Birmingham Fashion Week last year—a powerful moment of representation, proving that anything is possible.
But modelling isn’t Annabel Kiki’s only talent. A passionate footballer, Annabel recently returned from Colombia, where she competed in the Women’s Amputee World Cup. There, she earned the prestigious Golden Boot for scoring the most goals in the tournament—a true testament to her resilience and determination.
Once again, Annabel is using her success to make a meaningful impact. Just yesterday, she visited Millie, a promising academy-level footballer who recently had her left leg amputated due to the same cancer Annabel faced. During their meeting, Annabel gifted Millie her very first England medal, encouraging her to look after it until they meet again on the England pitch—when Millie is back to full strength.
Annabel Kiki is not just a model or an athlete—she’s a true inspiration, proving that with strength, determination, and a giving heart, anything is possible.
