Tessa Johnston has become one of Miami’s most recognizable faces in modeling and acting, a talent whose career now regularly takes her across the United States and internationally for commercials, music videos, and brand events. Represented by several of South Florida’s leading agencies, she has carved out a reputation as both a versatile model and a compelling actress. A combination that has made her in constant demand.
Her presence in music videos has been especially impactful. Johnston has starred in productions for global Latin superstars including Gloria Trevi, Carlos Riviera, Anuel, Ozuna, Prince Royce, Alejandro Sanz, Darrel, and Rauw Alejandro to name a few. These projects go beyond traditional modeling, giving her the opportunity to take on acting roles and bring characters to life on screen. It’s a space where she’s earned credibility not only as a model but as a performer capable of carrying narrative weight.
Commercial brands have followed suit, booking Johnston for national and international campaigns that span industries from technology and hospitality to wellness and entertainment. Apple, Coca Cola, Direct TV, St. Regis Hotels, Hard Rock Hotels, Hard Rock Bet, and GOAT Fuel are just a few of the major names she’s represented. She has been featured in commercials with icons like Mike Tyson, Dale Earnhardt Jr, and Adamari Lopez. Many of these projects have required her to travel across states or even countries, reflecting the confidence brands place in her professionalism and adaptability.
This momentum in Miami and beyond builds on years of international experience. Johnston’s career began in Canada, where childhood modeling opportunities evolved into a serious pursuit. That early start gave her the foundation and discipline needed to succeed when she made the leap abroad.
Her move to Dubai marked a transformative chapter. There, she served as a house model for luxury brands and worked with Emirates Airlines on international campaigns. The Middle Eastern fashion market, known for its high standards and competitiveness, proved to be the ideal training ground. Her role as the official Trophy Model for the Cricket World Cup in Brisbane, Australia, further demonstrated her ability to represent brands on both global and high-profile stages.
Today, Johnston’s career spans far more than fashion shoots. From runway shows and e-commerce campaigns to television appearances and large-scale commercial productions, she has shown a rare ability to adapt seamlessly to different formats and creative visions. Industry professionals consistently highlight her professionalism, collaborative spirit, and ability to elevate any project she takes on.
What sets Johnston apart is not just her international résumé but her ability to thrive in Miami’s fast-paced, multicultural entertainment ecosystem. Here, the boundaries between music, fashion, and film often blur but Johnston moves between them with ease.
As she continues to book projects that take her across the U.S. and overseas, Johnston represents a new model for success in entertainment: a global perspective, a diverse skill set, and the flexibility to embody multiple roles. From Canadian beginnings to Middle Eastern luxury markets to Miami’s vibrant creative scene, her trajectory reflects the increasingly borderless nature of modern careers in modeling and acting. And with her profile rising, Tessa Johnston’s story is far from finished.
