“I was nominated for a Peoples Choice Award I knew I hadn’t won, but my daughter still wanted me to get ready. I told her I didn’t have hair, makeup, or a dress, and she said, ‘No worries, mom, I’ll get you ready.’ I couldn’t break her heart and tell her that I didn’t win.”

2010 J’Adore Dior campaign

“This first campaign I shot with Dior and Jean Baptiste Mondino. We shot on a built set in Paris, John Galliano was there as well. Jean Baptiste Mondino and I came up with the concept alongside John. it was three days of magic. We all knew we were working on something iconic, but little did we know how iconic this campaign would become.”

“I was thrilled to be approached by Marvel to play the character of Clea alongside Benedict Cumberbatch. Since she was only going to be introduced at the end in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, all we really had to focus on was who she is and who influenced how she looked. I worked closely with my trusty friend and hairstylist Adir Abergil to come up with an interpretation of Clea that felt modern, and timeless but still had an ode to the original comic book creation. Kate Lee was the brilliant one to come up with the idea of incorporating Clea’s purple aura into the makeup. Something I wasn’t convinced would work until she actually did it. She’s brilliant!”

“First time I cut my hair really short. I remember watching Rosemary’s Baby with Mia Farrow and immediately deciding I wanted to have that haircut as soon as possible. I think I cut it the next day. Everyone in my industry has always told me don’t cut my hair if I want to work. And I am here to tell young girls that femininity is not tied to long hair. In fact, I have felt my most feminine without long hair.”

“It was a great concept that Leslie Fremar, Adir Abergel and Kate Lee were highly involved in creating. Leslie has been my stylist for over a decade now and she works closely with Dior. She has such a great understanding of work on my body and has always been the great link between Dior’s beautiful creations and finding that perfect look for me.”
