She is also the face, and body, of the Berlei Sensations range.

The hardest working item in my wardrobe is ...

My Céline sunglasses. They’re the perfect pair, I bought them from David Jones a while back and I wear them everywhere.

Celine sunnies is her choice for hardest working.

My most recent purchase was ...

A beautiful silk scarf from a boutique in Surry Hills.

The wardrobe I wish I could raid belongs to ...

Kate Moss. Her wardrobe is a rock and roll glam dream.

Three items every woman should own are ...

Go-To Face Hero face oil and Exceptionoil body oil, a Berlei Sensation bra and a leather jacket.

Shoes over bags because ...

I’m a one bag at a time gal, I carry around way too much to be constantly transferring from one bag to another.

My make-up MVP is ...

Too Faced Better Than Sex mascara from Mecca Cosmetica.

My ultimate skincare saviour is ...

SK-II Facial Treatment Masks. They leave your skin looking radiant and hydrated.

Marais loves this treatment mask.

On a bad hair day, I use ...

Coconut oil, it is the best quick fix. I pop it all over and then whip it up in a bun.

My signature scent is ...

Escentric Molecules — Molecule 01 from Mecca Cosmetics.

Coffee over tea ...

If desperate I will drink instant, but prefer to have it made by a barista as I’m useless at operating coffee machines. My order is generally a flat white but I’ll change between soy and almond or normal milk depending on what flavour I feel like. I’ll have anywhere between one and two when I’m not working but sometimes when shooting, up to four.

My comfort food go-to is ...

Cauliflower soup. It’s so homely, it warms you from the inside out.

For me, the creamier the better with a dollop of sour cream in the middle and some coriander on top. Obviously a home made soup is always best but there’s always something in it being home made by someone else that makes it taste even better.

My favourite Sydney spot is ...

The Brett Whiteley Gallery, it’s an inspiring artistic place with new exhibitions or pieces of work coming through which I like. The painting Alchemy is one of my all time favourite pieces of art, I just love revisiting it and picking up on new details each time.

My party trick is ...

To get down and boogie on the dance floor.

I’m currently binge watching ...

It’s a mix between Zootopia, Making A Murderer and Transparent.

No doubt she’s binge watching Zootopia with her daughter Scout.

I’m listening to ...

Group Love, CHVRCHES, and ELO.

My five, real or fictional, dream dinner party guests ...

Ricky Gervais, Stephen Fry, my dad, Olaf the Snowman and Chrissy Amphlett.
