By this stage, she is accustomed to the limelight.

At a towering 6 foot 1, with cheekbones so sharp you could practically cut crystal on them, and a face so symmetrical she gives Kate Moss a run for her money, Andreja Pejic has taken the fashion industry by storm since she underwent gender reassignment surgery in 2014.

And last night was no exception.

The 24-year-old transgender model donned a sultry leather and lace outfit at the Hollywood Reporter's Annual 35 Most Powerful People in New York Media, where she showed once more just how well she can work the camera.

Leather and lace: At a towering 6 foot 1, with cheekbones so sharp you could practically cut crystal on them, and a face so symmetrical she gives Kate Moss a run for her money, Andreja Pejic has taken the fashion industry by storm since she underwent gender reassignment surgery in 2014

No exception: On April 6, the 24-year-old transgender model donned a sultry leather and lace outfit at the Hollywood Reporter's Annual 35 Most Powerful People in New York Media

Pairing a revealing leather and lace-hemmed dress with black stilettos and a crisp tuxedo jacket, Ms Pejic tied her hair back in a loose ponytail to allow her outfit to do the talking.

This follows her recent appearance at the Jeffrey Fashion Cares 13th Annual Fashion Fundraiser event on April 4, when the striking supermodel opted for a low-cut, figure-hugging gown and delicate silver necklace.

Ms Pejic's appearance at such events follows her explosion into the fashion industry, where she spent part of her life as a male model for the likes of Marc Jacobs, before she underwent surgery and became the first transgender model to be profiled by Vogue.

Most notably in the fashion world of late was the model's appearance on the Paris catwalks in March as part of the H&M Studio show.

Elsewhere, Ms Pejic maintains an admirable public profile. Recent times have seen her appear in a podcast for Foreign Affairs, as well as a keynote address in February at a Human Rights Campaign event.

Treading the line between high fashion and a political voice, Andreja Pejic manages to carefully represent a voice for transgender acceptance.

Ms Pejic's Instagram profile, on the other hand, shows off a more playful side to the Bosnian-born, Melbourne-raised beauty.

As well as pulling funny faces, the former political refugee regularly posts selfies in lingerie or bikinis, as well as behind-the-scenes shots at events.

'There was definitely a lot of, "Oh, you're going to lose what's special about you,' she said to Vogue, in a recent interview.

'You're not going to be interesting anymore. They are loads of pretty girls out there.

'It's about showing that this is not just a gimmick.'
