But will the "model" women have as many babies as "non-model" women? And, will the babies of "model" women be more reproductively "fitter" than the babies of "non-model" women?

Allowing that beauty is in the eye of the beholder, so I can't argue re "model' women exactly, but taller women are more likely to have careers and career women are less likely to marry early, stay married or have children.
FuturePundit: Tallness In Women Correlates With Masculine Ambitions.
Quote:
Scots academics questioned 1,220 women from the UK, United States, Canada and Australia and found the taller ones were less broody, had fewer children and were more ambitious. They were also likely to have their first child at a later age.
Shorter women tended to be more maternal and homely, according to research carried out by psychologists Denis Deady, of Stirling University, and Miriam Law Smith, from St Andrews University.
The researchers theorize that higher testosterone made the women taller while simultaneously causing their brains to develop to have more masculine features.
They conclude, rather, that taller women have more of the male sex hormone testosterone, which could give them more “male” traits, such as being assertive, competitive and ambitious.
