She has also worked with many of the top fashion phographers, including Helmut Newton, Richard Avedon, Steven Meisel, and Karl Lagerfeld.

Steven Meisel cited McMenamy as one of his favourite models of the 1990s, along with Stella Tennant and Karen Elson.

In 1994, she also modelled in a famous Gianni Versace advertising campaign featuring Nadja Auermann and Elton John, photographed by Richard Avedon.
