Leslie Louise Bibb was born in Bismark, North Dakota on November 17, 1974 and raised in rural Nelson County, Virginia, the youngest of four sisters. After her father's death when she was three, she grew up in a single-parent home. The family later relocated to Richmond, Virginia, where Leslie excelled at St. Gertrude's, an all-girls school. When Leslie was 16, her sister entered her photo on the spur of the moment in a nationally televised model search sponsored by Oprah Winfrey. Out of a field of 6,000 applicants, she was one of 20 chosen to appear on "The Oprah Winfrey Show" before a panel of judges including Naomi Campbell, Linda Evangelista and Iman. Leslie walked away the winner.

After gaining such major recognition, Bibb's modeling career was launched. She briefly attended the University of Virginia, but by the age of 18 was working full time in New York, appearing in numerous magazines such as YM and Seventeen. While modeling brought Leslie to New York, it was acting that kept her there. After studying in a three-year drama program in New York and traveling through Europe for six months, she then set her sights on Los Angeles.
