Tammy Hembrow is literally a walking, posing billboard – but there is more to this Gold Coast beauty. READ THE FULL REPORT

TAMMY Hembrow is literally a walking, posing billboard for the Gold Coast tourism profile.

The 26-year-old influencer - with 11.7 million Instagram followers - is not only inspiring people on what to wear and how to pose, but treating fans to an increased taste of the Gold Coast lifestyle during the pandemic travel restrictions.

Since she and new boyfriend ironman Matt Poole went public in mid-September, the pair have been taking happy snaps with Hembrow’s two kids at the city’s stunning world-class beaches.

They started off with a getaway with friends in the Whitsundays, to posing at Currumbin Beach, Kingscliff Creek and Dreamtime beach at Fingal.

She was “hoping” her pictures inspired people to come visit when it’s safe to do so.

“We obviously can’t travel overseas. I had planned to go Miami Swim Week earlier this year but we weren’t able to,” she said.

“Luckily we have some beautiful places in Australia we can go to. Honestly, I haven’t travelled that much around Australia but I’d like to.

“As soon the world opens back up - I’d love to attend Miami Swim Week and go to New York Fashion Week again.”

Ms Hembrow shot to social media fame four years ago, at age 22, after sharing her fitness journey following having two children.

Now she has a global empire Tammy Hembrow Fitness and activewear and swim label Saski Collection.

During the next couple of months Ms Hembrow said there would be “lots of new stock coming”.

“We have a lot of new swimwear coming,” she said.

“I can’t give too much away but we have some new styles and introducing prints.

“We’ve never done prints before on our activewear or swimwear, so that’ll be a first for us.

“We are going to the Whitsundays for our swimwear shoot soon. So that’s exciting.”

About 40 of Ms Hembrow’s friends - including new beau Mr Poole - attended a Pink Ribbon Luncheon at Maman Bar and Kitchen in Burleigh in October.

During the event, Ms Hembrow made a $10,000 donation to the National Breast Cancer Foundation, as well as $5 from every Saski Collection order on Wednesday would be donated.

“It’s something we’re (the team at Saski Collection) really passionate about,” Ms Hembrow said.

“I do know different people who it has affected. It affects so many women. Doing something like this is important to raise awareness and money.

“I feel like if you have a large following it’s important to use it for some good,” she said.

“That’s why we partner with different charities and try to do things like this.”
