FEATURE INTERVIEW:
How do you balance your passions for acting and music? Do you find that one influences the other in your creative process?
I believe both acting and music naturally complement each other, as they both require a creative process. One really feeds into the other. When I’m working on a music video, for instance, it feels like making a movie, and I see it as a chance to explore my acting side. And the reverse is true as well—my music often benefits from my experience in acting. I think these two passions will always enrich each other, but I also recognize that there are moments to focus on one and then switch to the other.
How has your artistic vision evolved over the years? What are you most proud of in your journey so far?
I think an artist’s vision is always evolving and changing. Since it’s a person driving the creative process, every result inevitably reflects the stage of life that person is in—their age, experiences, emotions, and everything they’ve been through. My artistic journey is very much a reflection of how I’ve been at different times in my life over the years. I’m proud of the entire process; I don’t think I can choose just one thing. Even the work that doesn’t fully resonate with me today has been valuable in bringing me to where I am now, and that, in itself, is something I’m proud of.

What inspired you to start your podcast A Dónde Vamos Cuando Soñamos? How do you choose topics that resonate with your listeners?
What inspired me to start the podcast “A Dónde Vamos Cuando Soñamos?” was, first and foremost, the desire to try something different. Around the same time, I started writing a new set of songs, and I realized each one felt like a small story from my personal life. To complement the music project, I thought it would be a great idea to create a podcast with themes connected to me—my interests, curiosities, and passions—so people could get to know me better through the conversations with my guests. It aligns with the music I’ll be releasing soon, creating a deeper connection between both projects. As for the topics, I choose them based on what interests me, what I want to learn more about, or who I’d love to ask questions and listen to.
Your wedding to Paulo Dybala was a highly publicized event. How do you balance your public persona with your private life?
I think the key to balancing personal and professional life is having a strong, supportive environment—a healthy, genuine, and honest foundation. It’s important not to surround yourself with “yes people”.
What lessons have you learned in each stage of your life? From being an actress, model, podcaster and now wife?
I believe we learn different lessons at each stage of life. Lately, one of the most valuable lessons I’ve embraced is to be more genuine and honest with myself and others—not being afraid to express what I think or feel, even if it means risking someone else’s approval or worrying about how they might perceive me. Another important lesson has been to not be so hard on myself. We’re all on this rollercoaster journey together, and it’s important to approach it with compassion and understanding, especially toward ourselves.

How would you define your style and essence? How do you stay true to yourself and portray this in your creative vision and projects?
My style has evolved significantly over the years. In my early 20s, it was heavily influenced by the social media boom, especially during my teenage years. However, as I’ve grown older, I’ve reconnected with my roots and embraced what I truly love, allowing myself to dress without worrying about trends or what others might think. My style has always been inspired by gothic aesthetics, rock, and darker colors.
Lately, I’ve been fully embracing that darker, edgier side of myself—a side I followed when I was younger but set aside for various reasons. Now, it’s back, and it feels authentic to who I am. Of course, I think style also reflects the different stages of life and the emotions we’re experiencing at any given time.
What are your long-term goals for your career? Are there any specific projects or dreams you’d like to pursue?
I’ve stopped setting strict goals for myself because I realized that when I don’t achieve them, it can make me feel like what does come my way isn’t as valuable. That mindset can prevent me from fully appreciating the opportunities that do arise. So, I’ve learned to go with the flow and let life surprise me. That said, there are a couple of lifelong dreams I’d love to pursue—writing a book and, eventually, releasing my first full album. While I’ve released many singles and EPs, having a complete album would be a significant milestone for me.

What’s your favorite fashion trend right now? Do you have a go-to style for everyday wear?
I’m currently obsessed with the office siren style—I feel like it really represents this stage of my life. For everyday wear, my go-to style is pretty simple: a pair of jeans, basic tank tops (usually black or white), and some great sneakers. Lately, I’ve also been wearing blazers a lot to elevate the look. One thing that’s always part of my outfit is cross accessories—whether it’s earrings, necklaces, or anything else. It’s not for religious reasons; I just really love how they look and the vibe they add to my style.
What’s your daily beauty routine like? Do you have any specific skincare or makeup tips?
I place a lot of importance on skincare because I’m really passionate about learning about creams, ingredients, and what’s good for your skin and what isn’t. I have a skincare routine, but I typically only follow it at night—not in the morning. My routine has many steps because I use a lot of different creams.
As for makeup, I usually don’t wear it unless I really need to because I like to let my skin breathe. I feel that when I wear makeup for too long, I start to feel heavy. However, having worked as a model since I was 12, I’ve learned a lot about makeup. When I do wear it, I love taking my time with it because I consider it a ritual. It’s very relaxing, and I really enjoy the process.
Who is your biggest fashion icon and why? How does their style influence yours?
My biggest fashion icon has always been Angelina Jolie in the ’90s—100 percent. She’s always been my inspiration and will always be. These days, I also look up to Gabriette, as I see her as a modern version of
Angelina. It’s inspiring to see someone today dress in a similar way, incorporating current brands and trends. But, without a doubt, Angelina has always been my ultimate fashion inspiration.

What’s the greatest life advice that has been given to you?
The best advice I’ve ever received is that nobody cares as much as we think. Sometimes, we believe that people are constantly watching us, judging our bodies, our appearance, what we wear, how we speak, or what we say. But in reality, nobody is paying that much attention. Social media can create the illusion that it’s the opposite, especially when you see people talking about you or when something about you trends, and it feels like the whole world is focused on you. But truly, it’s not like that, and it’s really comforting to remind myself that no one is as concerned about us as we might think.
What message or legacy do you want to leave your followers?
I’m not sure what legacy I want to leave behind. The word ‘legacy’ feels very heavy, and I don’t consider myself important enough to feel that I have to leave one or that it would be significant. But if there’s something I hope people take away from what I’ve done, it’s to always stay true to what moves us positively on the inside, regardless of what others think. And to try to enjoy life more. In today’s world, we’re often so focused on social media, the media, success, and what others have, that we forget to truly enjoy the moment. So, if anything, I hope they remember to enjoy life.
