In September 2022, she participated in the Vogue World event, walking the runway dressed as Cruella de Vil with many other top models and influencers as well as celebrities including Serena Williams. She has appeared in W, The Wall Street Journal, Vogue France, and Vogue Japan.
Vogue picked her as one of the "10 Breakout models" of the spring 2022 season. Hofer has walked the runway for designers Isabel Marant, Valentino, Dior, Alberta Ferretti, Jil Sander and Chloé among others. Outside of Prada, she has appeared in ensemble campaigns for Dior (pre-fall), and Salvatore Ferragamo alongside actor Jharrel Jerome and other models.
