How much do you need to weigh to be model?

How many kg does a model need to be at a height of 1,76? Friends told me to try modeling and I'm 1,76 but wiegh 57kg. How much weight would I need to lose?

Well...technically, you're already underweight. So...perfect! Go for it!

I used a BMI calculator, which is pretty standard. Most models are around 17-18 BMI. Healthy is 18.5 and above. You're at 18.4. I seriously wouldn't lose more weight, though. Healthy-looking models are in right now, so just get a photographer to take some cute pics in a variety of moods/settings/looks & find someone to look at your portfolio.

The other thing to remember is losing weight will affect your hair (texture, shine, length) and your skin, so even if you think you should lose a few more pounds to "look perfect" it can have unintended consequences. Sounds like you're naturally slim, so just stay healthy!

5 9 & 120 pounds... I think that's considered a reasonably thin weight for your height.. I'm 5 7 & 95.. I've had offers. And You're taller & a good height for a model. I doubt you'd be too heavy. Why don't you talk to an agent to get actual info. gaG will likely steer you wrong directions for professional stuff. It'll all be based on allegory.good luck.
