In 1983 Veronica Webb left her hometown of Detroit and headed for New York City. She had plans to work in the fashion world, but not as a model. However, while studying at Parsons New School for Design, a makeup artist discovered Veronica and, later that year, photographs taken by Bruce Weber launched her career. 

In true supermodel style, Veronica quickly started showing up in top magazines like American, Italian, and British Vogue and American and French ELLE. She also walked the runway, strutting for such names as Chanel, Azzedine Alaia (who taught her French while they lived together in Paris), Commes des Garcon, Calvin Klein, and Victoria's Secret. The natural beauty inked deals with Nike and Isaac Mizrahi, but Veronica's biggest coup came in 1992, when she became the first African-American model to sign a cosmetic contract with Revlon. In 2008, Veronica was photographed by Steven Meisel for Italian Vogue’s “All Black” issue.

Although Veronica has accomplished a lot in the fashion world, her talents extend well beyond modeling. She has made a name for herself as a journalist, writer, and TV personality, working as an editor-at-large at Interview and a monthly columnist for Paper, and writing for Details, Esquire, ELLE, The London Sunday Times, and The New York Times syndicate. The talented essayist shared her personal experiences in her book, Veronica Webb Sight: Adventures in the Big City. She also penned a screenplay, "Ghetto Fabulous," which is in development with producer Lynda Obst.

Veronica's seemingly never-ending skills have taken her on-screen as well. Her major credits include "Jungle Fever," "Malcolm X," "In Too Deep," and "The Big Tease." Her on-camera ease translates to her work as a reporter and host on Fox's "Front Page," Vogue's "Trend Watch," HBO's "Entertainment News," and "Good Morning America.” Most recently, Veronica teamed up with Tim Gunn for the first season of "Tim Gunn's Guide to Style."

Veronica lends her time and celebrity to many causes, including LIFEbeat, one of the music industry's leading organizations in the fight against HIV/AIDS. In recognition for her work with LIFEbeat, she received the Stanley Leadership Award from the Minority Task Force on AIDS. Veronica's commitment to the National Breast Cancer Coalition helped the group acquire the 2 million signatures necessary for getting breast cancer declared a national health epidemic. The model also gives her time to RPM Nautical Foundation, an organization dedicated to advancing the latest technology to explore the ocean and nautical archaeology.

When Veronica's not posing, writing, or reporting, she's in Florida playing the role of wife and mother. In 2002, she married George E. Robb Jr., the father of their two daughters, Leila and Molly.
