ABOUT ME
Jenny Rieu is a Paris-born creative director and model based in Los Angeles, known for her cinematic approach to glamour and representation. She is the founder of Studio des Muses, a creative studio.
Drawing from the lineage of Josephine Baker, Eartha Kitt, and Dorothy Dandridge, she reinterprets the visual codes of the Black pin-up through a contemporary lens, blending Old Hollywood influence with a modern perspective.
With a background in modeling and acting, her approach to image-making is informed by performance as much as direction. She trained at the American Academy of Dramatic Arts in New York and studied international communications in Paris, with an early foundation in opera.
Her work has been featured in Ebony, Essence, InStyle, HELLO!, and Paris Match. Jenny was nominated by the Los Angeles Business Journal as a Rising Star (2019) and Champion of Women (2026).
A body of work centered on representation and visual storytelling spanning editorial features, commercial campaigns, and cinematic digital content.
From a cinematic editorial featured in Ellements Magazine's Black Models Issue (2022).
