Heterochromia

McDaniel states that her heterochromia iridum appeared a few weeks after she was born, with her right eye brown and her left eye blue. She has stated in interviews that a previous agent and different modeling companies wanted to have her wear colored contacts in an effort to focus more on the design, and McDaniel highlights social media for her embracing her look. However, McDaniel has been accused of faking the condition and wearing colored contact lenses. McDaniel insists that she does have heterochromia and has been "devastated by the accusation" and the online abuse she has received.
Photographs of McDaniel's posted online "seemed to show the color of McDaniel’s blue eye changing, from blue-green dappled with brown, turquoise with a brown ring around the pupil, to solid aquamarine with a black ring at the perimeter". it has been suggested that their mismatchmemt could be the result of coloured contacts or even surgery.
StyleCaster, which published an article about McDaniel's eyes, posted an editor's note after receiving "many comments" stating that her claim to have heterochromia was false, explaining, "After publishing this story, we received many comments that McDaniel’s claim of being born with Heterochromia Iridum may be false. We reached out to McDaniel’s representative, who vehemently denied that her client has misrepresented herself at any time, and maintains that McDaniel was born with the condition".
