Monique, the 16 year-old daughter of Carlton footy legend Anthony, will model on the runway at next month’s Melbourne Fashion Festival. It’s her first major appearance, walking for designer Aron Katona, as the year 11 student pursues a professional career.“As a kid I was really shy and it opens me up a bit,’’ Monique said.“I really enjoy it. I love all those Victoria’s Secret models — Gigi (Hadid), Kendall (Jenner), Bella (Hadid).”Anthony said he’s proud of his “beautiful daughter” who has signed with modelling agency Chadwick. “I love that part of modelling that she keeps fit and healthy and it’s good for her mindset too,’’ said Anthony, who runs health and fitness business Kouta Fit.“I’m proud of all my kids, they’re all really happy and doing what they enjoy.”Anthony and wife Susie have three children, Jamie, 18, Monique, 16 and Lukas, 10.“She loves it and she’s got a really unique look,’’ Susie said of Monique.Anthony, known as a Greek God at times for his good looks, played 278 games for the Blues in a decorated career from 1992-2007 and was inducted into the AFL Hall of Fame in 2014.
