You fought for this space that allowed me to flourish today, and I’m eternally grateful for that,” the model said in her acceptance speech.

The 21-year-old model and TikTok star was named Model of the Year during the ceremony, making her the first transgender model to win the prestigious award. She took the opportunity to acknowledge the historic moment on stage when she accepted the award, noting that she "can't accept this award without thanking those who came before me."

Consani accepted her spiral trophy from body activist and model Ashley Graham and Nava Mau, the latter of whom became the first transgender woman to win an Emmy for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Limited or Anthology Series this year. The other nominees for Model of the Year included Anok Yai, Liu Wen, and Alva Claire.
