At age 13, Garrett was discovered by an Elite modeling agent while singing Christmas carols with her school's choir in a Los Angeles shopping mall.[4] Her parents agreed to allow her to model to earn money to pay for her horse's boarding fees.[4] She participated at the 1997 Elite Model Look and was one of the semi-finalists at the international finale of the competition.[6] Garrett worked professionally as a model from ages 14 to 21.[7] Commenting on modeling at a young age, she said: "That was such a kind of strange and interesting time, those years, but it wasn’t sustainable for me."[7]
