MEET your new prison bae.

Last May, Mekhi Alante Lucky, 20, was arrested in North Carolina for speeding and driving a stolen vehicle.

True to his last name, Lucky evaded jail time. In fact, his arrest might be the best thing that ever happened to him.

Twitter account Wake Mugshots found Lucky’s photos by scouring police records, and Lucky — and his square jaw — soon went viral.

Even the fashion world was taken by him. Last week, Lucky signed to agency St. Claire Modeling in New York.

Lucky has an eye condition called heterochromia that causes his irises to have different colours.

He also has a troubled past: The 1.78m (5ft 10in model) has been booked for assault and breaking and entering, as well as resisting a public officer, the Daily Mail reported.

But fans are more focused on Lucky’s mug shot than his criminal history.

If Lucky’s luck continues, he may follow in the footsteps of “Hot Felon” Jeremy Meeks, whose blue eyes had New York Fashion Week aflutter in February.

Jeremy Meeks shot to fame when his hot mug shot went viral.
