Natalie Laughlin Tanner Brings World-Class Panache to Sarasota’s Luxury Real Estate
From the billboards of Times Square to the bayfront boulevards of Sarasota, Natalie Laughlin Tanner has spent her career redefining what confidence, beauty and sophistication look like. Once one of the most recognizable faces in fashion, and among Wilhelmina’s brightest stars, Natalie now brings her signature grace and world-class style to Luxe SRQ, the branded content platform of the Laughlin Tanner Group at Premier Sotheby’s International Realty.
You may have seen her larger-than-life image smiling down over New York City, or gracing the covers of major fashion magazines as a leading force in the global movement toward body diversity. She made history as one of the first full-figure models to appear on six separate Times Square billboards, representing major brands including Liz Claiborne and Anne Klein. Her breakthrough success helped inspire a generation of women to “be brave and step outside yourself,” to see beauty as an expression of confidence, not conformity.
“It’s all about style, not about size,” says Natalie. “No matter what size you are, you’re perfect the way you are right now. That feeling from within gives you confidence. And that confidence transforms everything, including the spaces we live in.”
From the Runway to Real Estate Storytelling
With Luxe SRQ, Natalie channels her eye for aesthetics, storytelling, and aspirational lifestyle into the world of high-end real estate. The platform, produced by the Laughlin Tanner Group, produces visually compelling narratives and editorial content that elevates Sarasota’s luxury listings beyond property and into artistry.
Her presence infuses Luxe SRQ with what only a world-traveled model could bring: an instinct for composition, an understanding of how emotion and imagery intertwine, and a deep appreciation for authenticity. Each campaign reflects the same elegance, accessibility and poise that made her one of fashion’s most celebrated icons.
“Natalie’s work with Luxe SRQ redefines what luxury marketing can be,” says partner Andrew Tanner. “She brings global sophistication and approachability to the way we tell stories about homes. Great real estate, like great fashion, is really about confidence and self-expression.”
Empowering Women, Elevating Design
Beyond her professional accolades, Natalie remains an advocate for empowerment and self-belief, values she carries into her work in real estate. Her career has always been about more than appearance; it’s about inspiring others to “create the life you want.”
As the creative face of Luxe SRQ, Natalie’s influence extends from the lens of a camera to the heart of Sarasota’s most refined properties. Her world-class panache, approachable authenticity and unwavering sense of style make her the perfect ambassador for a market where beauty, design and confidence find expression in extraordinary lifestyles.
