At age 13, Garrett was discovered by an Elite modeling agent while singing Christmas carols with her school's choir in a Los Angeles shopping mall. Her parents agreed to allow her to model to earn money to pay for her horse's boarding fees. She participated at the 1997 Elite Model Look and was one of the semi-finalists at the international finale of the competition. Garrett worked professionally as a model from ages 14 to 21. Commenting on modeling at a young age, she said: "That was such a kind of strange and interesting time, those years, but it wasn’t sustainable for me."
