Ella McKenzie Gross (/ˈɛlə mə kɛŋˈziː ɡroʊs/; Korean: 엘라 메켄지 그로스; born December 1, 2008) is an American child model and actress. She will debut as a member of girl group Meovv in September 2024, under The Black Label.[1]
Life and career
Ella McKenzie Gross was born on December 1, 2008,[2] in Los Angeles, California, to a Korean mother and German-American father,[3] with the Korean birth name, Nabi (Korean: 나비).[4] She also has a younger brother,[5] born two years apart.[6][7]
Cited as a "prodigy" in both modelling and acting,[8] Gross first featured on the cover of a magazine at age two,[3] after she was scouted at a park in South Korea.[9] In this time, her father, a prosecutor in the military, was dispatched to the country from Los Angeles, leading the whole family's visit.[8] Her mother, who also modelled for children's clothing, positively considered the offer.[8] Following a year in kindergarten, Gross resumed her modelling advancements;[5] her mother, who worked as a lawyer, had since assisted her daughter's work by her side.[5] Signed to L.A. Models,[10] Gross modelled for brands Zara,[11] H&M, GAP,[9] Fendi,[12] Lacoste, Levi's,[4] Tommy Hilfiger,[13] and Adidas, and debuted on the runway at age nine at the Tokyo Girls Collection A/W 2018 fashion show held at Saitama Super Arena, Tokyo, Japan, with 30,000 viewers.[14] Gross thereafter walked the runways of Tokyo Girls Collection S/S 2019 and 2019 New York Fashion Week.[13]
In July 2018, Gross signed with The Black Label.[5] Its founder, Teddy Park, stated: "She has a special voice that is completely capable for being a singer as well".[5] Rosé of Blackpink was also said to have wanted to take a demo song recorded by Gross after a listen.[15] In the midst of her business trips to South Korea from Los Angeles, she often learned dance routines from choreographers.[16]
Public image
Gross attained interest in the United States and abroad for her biracial genes and looks, reminiscent of a young Miranda Kerr.[17] Korean media outlets cited her as a young Song Hye-kyo,[3] or was nicknamed as "little Jennie" by Blackpink fans following a picture posted with the singer.[17][18] Her virality on social media platforms led her Instagram account, handled by her mother at the time, to gain a large following.
Other ventures
Philanthropy
Gross has used her platform to address topics including climate change and the war in Ukraine,[19] and served amidst a jury of judges for the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) X Uniqlo project entitled Youth with Refugees Art Contest in 2023.[20]
