"I can’t tell you how much modeling changed my life – I am just so much more confident in myself," she told H&M magazine.

"I sort of take pride in not doing botox or any of that face stuff. That look just seems so forced and strange to me. I am happy with the way I am. And I am here, you know? Doing a swimwear shoot today!"
