Wellsh grew up in Patos de Minas, Minas Gerais, Brazil, as the daughter of a lawyer and a biology teacher. [1] [2] As a child, she took swimming classes to stay active, after falling in love with the sea on a family trip. [3] Wellsh found her start in modelling after her sister enrolled Amanda in a modelling workshop. There, she was scouted by an agent from São Paulo and asked to move to the city at age 15. [2]
In 2013, Wellsh was booked to appear at New York Fashion Week. [1] Wellsh opened the S/S 2014 Peter Som show and walked the runways for DKNY, Helmut Lang, Kenneth Cole, Oscar de La Renta, The Row and others. [4] Wellsh would have her big break later that year, when she was chosen by Frida Giannini to open and close Gucci's runway presentation for S/S 2014 in Milan. [5] [6] Wellsh would go on to appear in Gucci's S/S 2014 advertorial campaign. [7] [8] Her participation in the campaign led to her walking in a number of campaigns for AW 2015, including Givenchy, Chanel, Prada and Alexander Wang. [1] In Paris, she walked in 11 major fashion shows that season. [9]
In 2015, she was named French Vogue's Model of the Year for 2014. [10]
At the time of her international debut at age 24, Wellsh was balancing her time as a model based in New York alongside being a mother to a young son, Pedro, who was living in Belo Horizonte, Brazil. [1] In November 2018, Wellsh and her husband moved to Florida in an effort to raise their son near nature. [11] Six years after the birth of her son, in January 2019, Wellsh covered Madame Figaro visibly pregnant. [2] Inside, she revealed that she was pregnant with a daughter. [12] In July 2019, Wellsh appeared inside Vogue Brazil with her daughter Amélie, from her home in Homestead, Florida. [13]
