She entered and ended up winning their modeling contest along with a contract with IMG Paris and, later, IMG New York.

Vyalitsyna has worked with acclaimed photographers Steven Meisel, Terry Richardson, Patrick Demarchelier and Ellen von Unwerth, among others, and is now signed with One Model Management.
"I've wanted to be a model ever since I was little, playing with my Barbie doll," she told The Age.
"It helped (for the catwalk) that I can dance but everything is self-taught.
