Nara Lima: Rebirth in Every Step

'BRASIL' COVER EDITION - SEPTEMBER 2025 ISSUE

The Brazil edition of Hooks Magazine celebrates the essence of the contemporary woman, featuring model Nara Lima on the cover — a face that embodies intensity, authenticity, and rebirth. More than a beauty icon, Nara is presence, poetry, and power, elements reflected in every frame of the editorial.

Among the chosen looks, a striking red dress steals the spotlight. For Nara, this color is more than aesthetics: it is a symbol of life in full motion. Red represents courage and victory, but also freedom and feminine expression. It is the visual translation of the strength she carries and shares with the world, showing that intensity is not measured by noise but by presence.

That strength comes from a path of reconstruction. Nara reveals that her greatest rebirth was the moment she decided to listen to herself, heal wounds, and allow herself to bloom again. This turning point brought clarity, faith, and the certainty that every victory is the fruit of self-love. Today, she carries lightness and confidence as the hallmarks of her journey.

Faith in herself, as she highlights, has been the key to transforming obstacles into achievements. Each challenge became a driving force, each fall, a lesson. Nara believes we are “light in motion,” capable of persistence and of reaching everything we dare to dream.

On the runway, in front of the cameras, or on the cover of a magazine, she sees fashion as a universal language. Every pose, every gaze, every aesthetic choice is a fragment of her essence revealed to the world. For her, being on a cover is a dance between intensity and delicacy, a way of showing that women are living art.

And if elegance and intensity can walk side by side, Nara is the perfect example. To shine with authenticity, for her, is to illuminate the world without losing grace, letting the inner light guide every gesture. It is a vision that inspires not only fashion, but life itself.

To women who seek to reinvent themselves, her message is clear: the strength is already within each one. “Reinvent yourself with courage and self-love,” she says. Because shining is not a privilege, it is a right — and living intensely is the most beautiful way to honor one’s own existence.

Check out the exclusive interview:

1. The red dress worn in one of the editorial looks symbolizes strength, victory, and intensity. What does this choice represent for you as a woman and as a model?

“The red is my flame, my embrace of life. It pulses with courage, celebrates every victory, and reminds me that intensity is not noise, it is presence. As a woman, it is my freedom; as a model, it is the poetry of my power, the way of saying that we can be strong and whole at the same time.”

2. Many women go through moments of deconstruction and reconstruction. What has been the greatest rebirth you have experienced so far?

“The greatest rebirth happened when I decided to listen to myself, to heal, and to allow myself to bloom again. It was leaving behind what weighed me down and rebuilding my life with love, faith, and clear dreams. Today, every step I take is the result of that courage — and every victory carries the lightness of someone who has truly learned to value herself.”

3. In your journey, how have you found personal power to overcome challenges and transform obstacles into achievements?

“My power was born when I realized that faith in myself moves mountains. Every obstacle became a lesson, every challenge a push to grow. Transforming difficulties into achievements is about understanding that we are light in motion: strong, persistent, and capable of everything we dream.”

4. How do fashion, beauty, and the art of posing for a cover help express your essence and your vision of the world?

“Fashion and beauty are my silent voices. Every pose, every gaze, every choice of color and fabric is a piece of my soul speaking to the world. Posing for a cover is to dance between intensity and delicacy, to show that we are complex, powerful, and full of life — it is to be art, it is to be essence.”

5. What does it mean to you to shine with elegance without losing intensity and authenticity?

“To shine with elegance is to walk with both firmness and lightness. It is letting authenticity illuminate every gesture, every word, without ever diminishing yourself. It is being intense, true, and full of grace, and knowing that the most beautiful light is the one that comes from within.”

6. If you could leave a message for other women who seek to reinvent themselves and reclaim their strength, what would it be?

“Reinvent yourself with courage and self-love. Every rebirth is an opportunity to touch your deepest essence. The strength you are searching for already exists within you — awaken it, trust in your light, and shine without fear, because you deserve to live the full intensity of your own life.”
