Broadbelt Fonte then introduced Warren to George Gallier, the owner of American Models. She then came to New York City to shoot some photo tests; during that time Gallier introduced her to fashion photographer Ellen Von Unwerth, who immediately saw Estella's beautifully unique looks and booked her for a photo shoot for Italian Vogue.[4]

== Arrest ==
On May 24, 2011, Warren was arrested in Los Angeles after she allegedly hit three parked cars with her Toyota Prius and then fled the scene. Police eventually found her and arrested her for driving under the influence of alcohol (DUI).[7] During her arrest she allegedly kicked an officer and resisted being handcuffed. Later at the police station where her arrest was being booked she managed to slip her cuffs and run but was quickly recaptured. Ultimately she was charged with DUI, hit-and-run, battery on a police officer and resisting a police officer.[8] Her bail was set at $100,000.[9] On August 19, 2011, Warren entered a no contest plea to the drunken driving charge, and the other charges were dropped;[10] she was ordered to a residential rehab facility for four months.[11]
The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department recorded Warren's date of birth as December 23, 1970.[12][13] Although Warren's 1978 birth year is well-established,[1][14][15] some news sources then reported that she was born in 1970 or cited her age as if she were born that year.[8][12]
