On September 25, 2007, she made her runway debut at the Prada spring/summer fashion show in Milan.

She was featured as a “rising star” in Hintmag.com’s “Model Mania”, Pop magazine and was chosen by Style.com as a member of an elite group of emerging runway stars called “The Ten”. In December 2007, Vmagazine.com called Stephens the second-ranked model for the upcoming spring season.
In 2008 Stephens became the face of Chloé and M Missoni and was photographed by David Sims for Calvin Klein. She modeled for Gap‘s international spring ad campaign and was photographed for Prada Sport. She was hired as an exclusive for the fall Calvin Klein show in New York City and opened the fall Nicole Farhi and CNC Costume National shows in London and Milan.

In April, Stephens was the focus of a Calvin Klein billboard on the corner of Houston and Lafayette Street in New York City. She was named by New York Look magazine as “This Year’s Girl” and signed a cosmetics contract with Chanel.

In 2009 Stephens appeared in many fashion magazines including Vogue China, Italian Vogue, Japanese Vogue, i-D, Numero, Allure, and the cover of Russh and the French magazine, Revue de Modes. She was also chosen that year as the model for Lacoste’s fall ad campaign.

In a 2010 New York magazine article, Stephens said “I’m not one of the girls willing to starve themselves for fashion, so I do what shows I can but I don’t pressure myself to fit into the sample sizes.” For this reason Stephens now participates in a smaller number of fashion shows per season.
