Interview By Chrissy Johnston
You’ve had such a diverse career spanning modeling, acting, singing, and TV hosting. How do you balance all these different roles and which one is closest to your heart?
I love it all! Modelling was the start of my career, which then led to acting, singing, and eventually TV hosting. Each path has been challenging and unique in its own way-but live TV and singing are definitely the most fun. I get such a kick out of it!
If you could collaborate with any designer, brand, or artist-whether in fashion, music, or television—who would it be?Collaborating with Chanel would be so cool-truly a dream for any fashionista!
And can you imagine working with Ed Sheeran? Wow! That would be incredible! He’s one of my favourite singers.
With your wide-reaching career, you’ve certainly encountered a range of experiences. What’s one of the biggest lessons you’ve learned from being in the public eye for so long?
One of the biggest lessons l’ve learned is not to take criticism personally. As a public figure, you get both praise and negativity. When I was younger, I used to care a lot more-but over time, l’ve learned to focus on the positive and use it to grow. Maturing means challenging yourself, and that’s exactly what I’ve done. Also, I never speak about my private life anymore. I did in the past and learned my lesson-some things are better kept just for yourself.
You’re known for your stunning style. How would you describe your personal fashion sense, and how has it evolved over the years?
My style during the day is casual chic-or sometimes sporty-but in the evening, I go for something more glamorous and feminine. I used to dress more sexy, but now I prefer a classy, timeless look.
From runway shows to red carpets, you’ve graced many high-profile events. What has been your most memorable fashion moment?
My most memorable fashion moments were at the amfAR Gala in Cannes and the Global Ocean Gala in Monaco-absolutely unforgettable!
If you could swap wardrobes with anyone for a week, who would it be and why?
My ultimate style icon of all time is Audrey Hepburn-so timeless and elegant! I also adore the fashion sense of Kendall Jenner, Hailey Bieber, and Queen Rania of Jordan. So effortlessly chic and sophisticated.
You’ve always been known for your glowing skin and radiant beauty. What’s your skincare routine like, and are there any particular products or treatments you swear by?
My skincare routine is simple but effective. I swear by facial massage and rinsing with ice-cold water. I love using natural serums, especially pure vitamin C, and fragrance-free creams. I take collagen daily and drink tons of water. Good fats like olive oil and coconut butter are also a must in my diet—they do wonders for the skin!
When it comes to maintaining your figure, do you follow a specific diet or nutrition plan?
I never really diet, but if I want a flat belly, I cut back on carbs. I always start my day with lemon water, celery juice, and a homemade chia bowl. I’m not big on desserts, but I do love a glass of wine or champagne—happy bubbles!
What does your typical fitness routine look like, and how do you stay motivated to stay active?
I stay active with Pilates, core workouts, and power walks. I also love tennis and dancing. I’m always on the go—i have so much energy, I have to burn it off!
Do you have any quirky or unusual hobbies that your fans might be surprised to learn about?
My favorite hobbies are horseback riding, skiing, hiking, and jet skiing—the faster, the better! ! like the speed and adrenaline! I also enjoy cooking-it’s fun and creative!
If you had to choose an iconic movie character to play in a remake, who would you choose and why?
I’d be the modern version of Marilyn Monroe.
If you had a superpower, what would it be and how would you use it in your everyday life?
If I could have one superpower, it would be to prevent accidents and natural disasters-to protect people like a real-life superhero!
Looking to the future, what are some new projects or dreams you hope to pursue that people might not know about yet?
I love being involved in various charities and plan to continue with this-I’m actively engaged with the Make-A-Wish Foundation and The Perfect World Foundation.
I also invest in the financial markets and do some real estate buying and selling. My goal is to keep investing and have security so I can stay young and healthy for a very long time… and just enjoy the ride!
