Model and actress Lily Chee has signed with WME for representation, marking a new phase in her career spanning fashion and film.

Chee, who was discovered at the age of 9 in a Brooklyn grocery store, began working early with brands such as Levi’s and Nike. She later built a following through YouTube, where she documented her work and day-to-day experiences, helping her connect with a younger audience.

Since then, Chee has expanded her portfolio across luxury and mass market fashion. She has collaborated with labels including Chanel, Valentino, Dior, Louis Vuitton, Miu Miu and H&M and serves as an ambassador for H&M. Her work also includes partnerships with Skims and Roxy, reflecting her interest in sport and outdoor-focused campaigns.

Alongside modeling, Chee has pursued acting. Her credits include appearances in Marvel’s “Daredevil,” “The Other Two,” the independent project “Nothing,” “Except Everything” and the feature film “Sunset Park.” The combination of fashion work and on-screen roles has positioned her as part of a group of young talent navigating both industries simultaneously.

Her social media presence has been a key component of that trajectory. Chee has cultivated a Gen Z audience by sharing content that spans fashion shoots, travel and daily life across New York, Los Angeles, Europe and Hawaii. Her posts often incorporate outdoor activities such as surfing and biking, which have informed some of her brand collaborations.

“I’m incredibly honored to be joining WME. It’s a privilege to be part of an agency with such a legacy of representing visionary talent. I’m excited to step into this next chapter of my career and build something meaningful together across fashion and film,” Chee said in a statement.

The move brings her into one of the industry’s largest talent agencies, known for representing clients across entertainment, sports and media. At the same time, Chee will continue to be managed by Kyn Agency Group, with Range Media Partners overseeing her acting career.
