Lily Chee has signed with William Morris Endeavor (WME) for representation across fashion and film. Chee, who was discovered at age nine in a Brooklyn grocery store, built her early career with brands like Levi’s and Nike before growing a loyal following on YouTube.
Since then, she has collaborated with luxury labels including Chanel, Valentino, Dior, Louis Vuitton, and Miu Miu, and serves as an ambassador for H&M. Her work also includes partnerships with Skims and Roxy.
Alongside modeling, Chee has pursued acting, with credits in Marvel’s Daredevil, The Other Two, and the feature film Sunset Park placing her firmly in both worlds.
WME, which recently added rising talent like Arden Jones and Dexter Sol Ansell to its roster, continues to expand its Gen Z fashion and entertainment presence. Chee expressed excitement about joining the agency, calling it a privilege to be part of an agency with such a legacy of representing visionary talent.
She will continue working with KYN Entertainment for management, Range Media Partners for her acting career, and Nexus PR for publicity.
Takeaways
This signing is more than a routine agency move, it’s a signal that WME is doubling down on talent that bridges the Gen Z social-to-runway-to-screen pipeline.
Chee isn’t just a model who occasionally acts; she has built a genuinely bifurcated career, and WME’s multi-department reach gives her the infrastructure to scale both paths simultaneously.
The fact that she retains Range Media Partners specifically for acting, even under a new broader representation deal, also tells us her team is being intentional about specialization, not just consolidation.
Does Lily Chee’s WME signing signal a bigger push into leading film roles sooner than expected?
How might her social media influence shape the kinds of fashion houses and directors she works with next? Will we see more Gen Z talents pursue similar multi-agency setups to balance fashion, film, and digital content?
