If you are talking about high fashion modeling, then you will have to be absolutely tiny like Kate Moss (she is 5'6") if you want any hopes of making it. I believe she is around 100 lbs, although I could be wrong. I wouldn't get my hopes up if I were you though, as you can have the "look", but if you are not tall then 99.99% of the major agencies will pass you up. Also, keep in mind that Kate has had eating disorders and drug addictions in an attempt to remain as thin as she is, so I really wouldn't reccommend that method to anyone.
If you are interested in doing modeling for fun, like for a small local agency, then generally those models are around a size 4 (but different types of advertisements look for different types of girls).
Really though, it's hard to give a certain weight for everyone to follow. A big-boned girl who weighs 140 could look better than a small-boned girl who weighs 120. It really all just depends where and how you carry the weight on your body. [ fatallygorgeous's advice column | Ask fatallygorgeous A Question ]
ANG answered Saturday April 14 2007, 11:32 pm: 105-120
but to be designer and stuff like america's next top model, you must be at least 5'7.

If you're in your teens, you should be around 120-130lbs. If you're serious about this and are modeling for serious designers, you're going to be have to be around 110-120lbs. [ ductape_n_roses's advice column | Ask ductape_n_roses A Question ]
runawayxlove answered Saturday April 14 2007, 10:44 pm: hey, well according to my doctor at 5`0 you should be 100 pounds. everytime you go up in height, your suppose to go up 5 pounds. so 5`1 = 105, 5`2 = 110, 5`3 = 115, 5`4 = 120, 5`5 = 125, and 5`6 = 130. thats your perfect healthy weight. as for models, designers want models to fit into size 0s, 1s, 2s, and maybe 3`s.
