Anna Bayle (Tagalog: [ɑnɑbɑjlɛ], born 1956) is a Filipino retired model who rose to prominence in the late 1970s. She became one of the highest paid models of her time. Bayle has been described as being one of the first Asian supermodels.[1][2]
Bayle was born in 1956 in Manila to a family of seven.[3] After graduating from the Philippine Science High School System, she became a pre-medical student at the University of the Philippines.[4][5] After being encouraged by her friends at university, Bayle competed in the 1976 Miss Republic of the Philippines where she was declared Miss Luzon or 1st runner up, where Filipino fashion designer Auggie Cordero noticed her.[4] With Cordero as her mentor, Bayle began working in the local modeling scene.[6] After moving to Hong Kong for a little while, she received attention on an international scale when she replaced Billie Blair in the Hong Kong Trade Fashion Show, after Blair withdrew from the event due to an accident.[4][6][7]
Bayle decided to retire from modeling in 1994.[4] Recalling her decision to quit, she said, "I wanted to end on a high note, and when I retired, I never looked back [...] It’s best to leave when you’re at the top".[3] After retiring from modeling, she worked as an editorial assistant for CNN Style for two years.[4] In 1997, Bayle released a collection of lipsticks bearing her name.[10] First releasing in August 1997 at Henri Bendel,[11] the lipstick line was inspired by Bayle's frustration during her modeling career of not finding suitable lipstick colors for her darker complexion.[12] It was around this time however, that Bayle divorced from her husband, and she soon stepped away from her career to take care of her son Callum. While taking care of her child, Bayle found work in helping a real estate investing business manage its clients.[4] As Callum grew older and more independent, she became a real estate broker in New York City.[3]
Currently, Bayle serves as the beauty editor for online fashion publication Lookonline.[4]

Bayle was married to Simon Spence,[5] but the couple later divorced.[6] With Spence, she has a son named Callum.[3][4]
