Introducing The Model Behind The Cover Of The Latest Issue Of StarCentral Magazine: The Stunning Natarsha Haddad

At just 19 years old, Natarsha Haddad is already a force to be reckoned with — an artist, model, and trailblazer who refuses to be defined by one title. With a mic in one hand and a law textbook in the other, she’s living proof that ambition knows no bounds.

Fearless, focused, and fiercely creative — Natarsha Haddad is quickly becoming one of Australia’s most dynamic young talents. In a dazzling showcase of poise, personality, and performance, Natarsha claimed the coveted Miss Runway Supermodel Australia 2025 title, produced by Regal Star Productions. Not only did she take home the crown, but she also dominated the competition by winning Best in Swimwear and Best in Evening Gown — a clean sweep that left a lasting impression on judges and audiences alike.

But Natarsha’s journey to the top didn’t begin on the runway. Her creative expression first found a home at just 13 years old when she began writing and producing music, using her lyrics to tell bold, raw, and unapologetically honest stories. Her sound — as unique and compelling as her personality — quickly garnered attention, and by the age of 15, she had already attracted major global brands like Nike and JD Sports. With a natural ability to merge confidence and authenticity, Natarsha carved out a distinct identity that resonates powerfully both in front of the camera and behind the scenes.

Her recent modelling triumph has only amplified her influence. As the newly crowned Miss Runway Supermodel Australia 2025, she now graces the cover of StarCentral Magazine, headlining the edition with a story that is equal parts hustle, heart, and unshakable authenticity. Her cover feature dives into her personal evolution — from a teenager with a vision to a woman making her mark across multiple industries.

From red carpets at the ARIAs to law lectures and studio sessions, Natarsha continues to juggle her passions with grace and grit. Whether she’s on stage, on set, or in a courtroom, she is committed to breaking stereotypes and boldly owning every space she steps into.

Congratulations on being crowned Runway Supermodel Australia 2025! Can you take us back to the moment your name was announced—what was going through your mind?

Thank you! The moment they said my name, it felt like the world paused for a second, like everything just sparkled. My heart was racing, and I had a flash of every early morning, every blister, every dream I’d whispered to myself at 2 a.m. I wanted to laugh, cry, and do a victory twirl all at once! It was pure magic—like stepping into a dream I didn’t want to wake up from.

What inspired you to enter this competition, and how has your journey leading up to the title shaped who you are today?

I entered because I wanted to challenge myself and prove that confidence doesn’t come from perfection—it comes from embracing who you are, quirks and all. This journey has taught me to walk taller, think bigger, and love louder. Every photo shoot, rehearsal, and pep talk in the mirror helped me evolve—not just as a model, but as a person with heart and high heels.

What was the most challenging part of the competition for you, and how did you overcome it?

The mental game, for sure. There were moments I doubted myself, especially seeing so much talent around me. But I reminded myself that comparison is the thief of joy—and I’m not here to outshine anyone, just to shine in my own way. I overcame it by staying grounded, practising gratitude, and sneaking in little laughs with the girls backstage to keep my vibe high.

Many young aspiring models look up to titleholders like yourself. What advice would you give to someone dreaming of following in your footsteps?

First of all—how sweet is that? To anyone out there dreaming, don’t wait for permission to shine. Start where you are, use what you have, and trust that your uniqueness is your superpower. Rejection will happen (it’s part of the sparkle-building process!), but don’t let it dim your light. Keep learning, stay kind, and never forget that even the biggest stars started small. If you walk with your heart, the runway will follow.

Fashion and self-expression go hand in hand. How would you describe your personal style, and has it evolved during the competition?

My personal style is a mix of playful elegance with a dash of fearless flair—I like to say it’s “chic with a wink.” During the competition, I definitely experimented more. I learnt to take risks, embrace bold silhouettes, and trust my instincts. Style isn’t just about what you wear—it’s how you say “this is me” without speaking, and that’s something I’ve grown into with pride.

What’s next for you after this incredible win? Are there any exciting projects, campaigns, or international shows we should watch out for?

So many exciting things are unfolding! I’m currently in talks for campaign work with some amazing global brands—UGG, for one, which feels like a cosy dream come true. I’m also preparing to hit the international runway circuit, including shows in the Middle East, where the fashion scene is growing in such a bold and beautiful way. Plus, I’m working on a digital series that gives a behind-the-scenes peek into model life and mentorship. Let’s just say—this crown is just the beginning!
