Shaun Ross is a gay albino fashion model who captured the world's attention when he walked in New York's Fashion Week 2013. He has appeared in Lana Del Rey's 30-minute short film "Tropico," Katy Perry's music video for her hit single "E.T.," and Beyonce's music video, "Pretty Hurts." The world's first albino pro model, Ross has worked for Alexander McQueen and has been featured in the pages of British GQ and Italian Vogue. He has also written for Huffington Post about body positvity, body issues, and personal grooming. Ross is still in his early twenties, which means we at OUT are expecting great things to come from the industry-redefining star.
