Megan Gale (born August 7, 1975) is an Australian model and actress.
Born in Perth, Western Australia. Megan Gale is of half-English, half-Polynesian heritage and is the youngest of three children and has two older brothers.[1][2] Megan Gale has been dating Australian comedian Andy Lee since January 2007.[3]
After winning a modelling competition in Perth at 18[2], Megan then moved to Sydney.[citation needed] After several years of modelling, Gale was cast to appear in a series of advertisements for the Italian telecommunications commercials, Omnitel (now Vodafone Italy); she appeared in the company's advertising from 1999 until now.[4] She was also retained by the Australian Tourist Commission in 2003 as 'their face of Australia in Italy'.[2]

Gale has modelled for Italian fashion houses such as Gianfranco Ferré, Genny and Gai Mattiolo and favours many Australian designers, such as Colette Dinnigan, Sass & Bide, and Alex Perry.[2][citation needed] Recently she was the fashion commentator for the Australian television awards, the Logies.[2][citation needed] She has been the face of the upmarket Australian department store David Jones since August 2001.[citation needed] Gale's appearances on the catwalk in the famous annual fashion parades are extremely popular and she has helped to raise David Jones' profile to the younger market and trendy fashion designers.[citation needed]

In January 2008, Gale announced her retirement from catwalk modelling after 15 years and strutted down the catwalk for the last time just weeks later at a David Jones winter collection launch in Sydney.[5] She has since been replaced on the catwalk by Victoria's Secret Angel Miranda Kerr[6] although is still contracted to the store as Brand Ambassador until 2011.[citation needed]
