Jillian Mercado (born April 30, 1987) is an American actress and fashion model represented by CAA (Los Angeles).

Diagnosed with spastic muscular dystrophy as a child, she believes her interest in fashion originated from her mother, a dressmaker, and her father, once a shoe salesman.

She would continue on to attending Fashion Week for years as a volunteer which ultimately gave her the opportunity to cover events for society photographer Patrick McMullan's PMc Magazine.

[10][11] She has since starred in several campaigns for Nordstrom as well as in former Vogue Paris editor Carine Roitfeld's CR Fashion Book where she was photographed by Michael Avedon.

In March 2016, Mercado was announced as one of three models to appear in the latest campaign for Beyoncé's official website, promoting merchandise for the singer's new single and 2016 Formation world tour.
