 Let's check out her interview with L’Oréal Paris!
Q:  What does it mean for you to be a L’Oréal spokesperson?
It's a kind of achievement as it was a dream for me to be part of the L'Oreal Paris family. It's a big honor for me and I'm proud to be part of it.

Q:  What does the tagline “Because We’re Worth it” mean to you?
It highlights the power and strength of women.

Q: You have amazing hair. How do you keep it looking so perfect?
Hair is so important in the fashion industry, so I take very special care of it. I use Elsève Nutrigloss, a great range of products and from time to time I use a Kérastase mask. It's important to keep my hair healthy, because of my job I have to bleach and treat it very often.

Q: Do you have any beauty secrets?
I do a facial massage in the morning and in the evening before applying my morning and night cream.

Q: Who is your beauty icon?
Grace Kelly

Q: What gives you confidence?
Taking a very good care of my body and feeding my soul constantly are the keys for me to reach a well-balanced vision of myself...it makes me feel confident.

Q: How did you feel when L’Oreal asked you to become a Spokesperson?
I was so thrilled that I called my husband and family straight away! Such a thrill…

Q:  What beauty/lifestyle advice would you most like to impart to your best friend/daughter/sister/ readers?
Loving yourself and thinking positive are the first essential rules to go through life. They’re also the most difficult...but it's so important to reflect a good aura and strong charisma, no matter what you do!!!

Berocca vitamins and water!!!
Q: How do you manage to keep your complexion bright?
Yoga and swimming, to eliminate toxins out and have an "awake body". Avoid the sun to keep a skin as healthy as possible!

Q: Do you ever use eye make-up to create a glamorous look?
Of course, I love make up - I always have. I like to create specific looks for special occasions! 

Q: Are there any beauty secrets that you inherited from role models within your family?
My grandma gave me one of her books that I used to read when I was young, it's a beauty book from the 50s. I read it all the time – it was my main source of inspiration!

Q: Why is beauty important to you?
It’s the external reflection of your inner beauty...which is the result of your own way of life. Be respectful and let your personality shine! That’s the best attitude that you can bring to the world.

Q: What does beauty mean to you?
It's something that comes from the inside of you. It can come from happiness, from a dream or an inspirational moment.

Q: What is the best beauty advice that you have received and from whom?
It came from my mother: be yourself, don't try to be somebody else. Learn how to know what is good for you. Study yourself, understand yourself.
