has one eyebrow instead of two. It’s big, it’s bold, it’s black and it’s bushy, and guess what, it runs across the entirety of her face.

She inherited it from her Greek Cypriot father, who also has impressive brows, and she embraced it in reaction to her mother’s warnings against the dangers of over zealous plucking.
“Some of my earliest memories are of being in front of a camera with my mum telling me where to look and how to pose. Modelling has always come naturally to me, even as a toddler. Fast-forward to when I was 15 and a photo my mum took of me was posted on the Italianwebsite. That was the first public platform my face was ever shown on. Just a side note for the trolls saying my eyebrows made my career -- I didn’t have dark eyebrows or a unibrow at that point in my career.

First, I started doing so with eccentric outfits, and then started rebelling a bit with my actions and the way I spoke to people. Then I stopped tweezing my eyebrows.
