There are lots of different kinds of beauty and it's not often that the worlds of high fashion and beauty pageants collide, but for one Irish model, it seems she's already breaking the mould.
Brunette beauty Holly Carpenter first rose to fame in 2011 when she was crowned Miss Ireland, but the Dubliner has set her sights on a much bigger playing field and is reportedly one of the 12 finalists on this year's series of Britain and Ireland's Next Top Model.
Although no official details about the show have been released, the Independent are reporting that Holly is in fact inside the model house in London. And, even though she is represented here by Andrea Roche, her profile has been removed from the agency website, in accordance with the show's rules.

"Holly is in the house with all the other UK girls and two other Irish girls, one from Dublin and Donegal," a source revealed. "She's told people she's doing a jewellery course in Manchester for six weeks, but saying it may be longer.
"People have noticed she's dropped off the radar - she's not on Facebook or Twitter."
And she's also been absent from the Six Nations sidelines, even though boyfriend Kian Healy made several appearances for Ireland over the last couple of weeks.
Former Irish contestants have always done well on the hit Sky Living show, so it'll will be interesting to see how Holly does. One things for sure, we can't wait to see her high fashion make-under.
