This incredible supermodel’s career began when fate intervened, and she caught the eye of an Elite Model Management scout on the streets of Sweden. She soon graced the covers of top magazines and became the face of major brands like Estée Lauder and Maybelline. Paulina’s distinctive look and commanding presence made her a favorite among photographers and designers. Beyond modeling, she showcased her acting skills on the small screen, appearing in the beloved CBS series *As the World Turns*. She’s also made a name for herself as a respected columnist for *Modelinia* and *The Huffington Post*, where she shares her thoughts on fashion, aging, and beauty. A year ago, Paulina released her highly anticipated book, *No Filter: The Good, the Bad, and the Beautiful*, a collection of insightful essays. In this compelling read, she boldly addresses the realities of aging and challenges the industry’s obsession with youth. Her candid reflections resonate with many, as she advocates for self-acceptance and embracing every stage of life, empowering women everywhere.
