Texas’ Southern Gem Gracie Duke

Texas’ best kept (and gorgeous) secret, Gracie Duke, has been on the move for the last couple of years showcasing her incredible physique and natural camera presence in more and more modeling projects on the regular. Gracie’s positive and amicable demeanor is a key aspect of her success, as she always makes a great impression on everyone she works with. Always finding herself around automobiles, the good news keeps getting better as Gracie is an uncompromising petrol head (prioritizing drive a manual gearbox over anything else, for example) and fully immersing herself in the car industry in many other ways. While her educational pursuits and family are her main focus in life, its lucky for us she thoroughly enjoys modeling – and does it so damn well.

We recently caught up with Gracie to get to know her more and find out what she is up to next.
