She Was Abandoned for Her Looks — Now She’s Redefining Beauty in Vogue

Born with albinism, Xueli Abbing was abandoned in China as a baby due to her appearance. Left in an orphanage, she was later adopted by a loving family in the Netherlands, giving her a chance at a brighter future.

At 11, her unique beauty caught the eye of a photographer, leading to a modeling campaign celebrating “perfect imperfections.”

Now 16, Xueli has modeled for *Vogue*, turning rejection into triumph and proving that beauty lies in diversity and strength.
