Anna Lisa Christiane (born 1994) is a New Zealand model, actress, and former beauty pageant titleholder.
Early life and education
Christiane was born in 1994 in Wellington, New Zealand. Raised in New Plymouth, Taranaki, she spent her early years along the region's distinctive black sand beaches and worked in retail in Wellington. During her high school years, she aspired to pursue a career in acting or modeling in the United States.
Career
Christiane's physical appearance and height of 5'11" led to frequent suggestions that she consider modeling. She began her career at the age of 16 and was discovered by a scout from Red 11 Model Management and signed contracts that provided consistent modeling work throughout Asia. At the age of 19, Christiane began her international modeling career.
In 2015, Christiane was crowned as Miss Earth New Zealand. In the same year, she became a face of the Be Cruelty Free campaign with animal rights activists and presented over 90,000 signatures to the Parliament of New Zealand, advocating for a ban on animal testing for cosmetics.
By the age of 21, Christiane moved to the United States for modeling. She initially lived in Los Angeles, before relocating to New York to become a fashion model.
As she transitioned into the entertainment industry, Christiane began pursuing acting roles. Despite being in the early stages of her acting career, she quickly gained traction when she landed the lead role in the 2021 film, Heroine Yehenara.
As a model, Christiane has been featured on the cover of Elle Bulgaria, Harper's Bazaar Vietnam and L'Officiel India.
