‘STARS’ EDITION COVER - GLOBAL ISSUE
Samira Sagr is the cover star of the new STARS edition of Hooks Magazine. In an intense and personality-filled photoshoot created in collaboration with Anderson Macedo, the influencer reveals not only a new phase in her career, but also a stronger, more confident, and more self-aware version of herself.
After winning over millions of Brazilians with her authenticity on the reality show, Samira is now experiencing the impact of a transformation that goes far beyond fame. In an exclusive interview with Hooks Magazine, she opens up about self-esteem, fashion, identity, and the dreams she hopes to turn into reality.
“Participating in BBB changed my life in many ways, but I think the biggest transformation happened within myself,” says Samira Sagr. “Today, I feel more confident, more secure, and more open to everything life can offer me.”
The experience inside the house also made Samira realize that spaces she once considered distant can, in fact, be occupied by her. Between the affection from the public and the new opportunities, one certainty has grown stronger: she is capable of living her own dreams.
“Realizing that I’m capable of experiencing things that once felt so far from my reality… dreams really are meant to be lived and turned into stories to tell.”
Throughout the conversation, Samira Sagr makes it clear that her greatest strength continues to be her authenticity. In a time when so many people try to fit into standards, she believes that staying true to your essence is an act of courage.
“When you try to be something you’re not, you start losing yourself,” she says. “But when you begin to stay true to who you are, things start happening in your own way.”
This connection with herself is also reflected in the way she sees beauty and self-care. Far beyond aesthetics, Samira talks about confidence as something built internally, especially after years of dealing with insecurities about her body and appearance.
“Today I understand that beauty has much more to do with how you feel than just appearance,” says Samira Sagr. “When I feel good about myself, confident in who I am, it changes everything.”
Between conversations with herself, positive affirmations, and moments of self-care, she found a new way of seeing herself. “I like to encourage myself, remind myself of the good things, and tell myself that I deserve the world.”
Fashion, of course, plays an important role in this new chapter of her life. Passionate about clothing, styling, and visual expression, Samira reveals that she dreams of creating her own brand in the future. But her goals go far beyond the fashion universe.
“I have much bigger dreams behind all of this: truly changing my life, giving my family a better life, achieving stability, clearing my name, taking better care of Lindolfo, helping NGOs…” says Samira Sagr.
In the STARS edition photoshoot, this connection between identity and image gains even more depth through the Deconstruction project. For Samira, being part of the artistic concept created by Anderson Macedo was a transformative experience.
“The project brings exactly this idea of looking at image in a more artistic, deeper way,” she explains. “Today, I see fashion as a language — a way of telling stories without having to say a single word.”
Between lights, emotions, and an aesthetic that blends delicacy with strength, Samira Sagr shows that her image goes far beyond trends. She represents a generation that wants to be seen exactly as they are: real, intense, and full of dreams.
Because, as she herself says, “fashion, to me, is when identity becomes visible.”
Check out the exclusive interview:
1. Participating in BBB changes anyone’s life. What was the biggest transformation you noticed in yourself after leaving the house?
“Participating in BBB changed my life in many ways, but I think the biggest transformation happened within myself. Before, I used to dream a lot, but sometimes I didn’t fully believe I was capable of actually living those dreams. And inside the house, I discovered a strength within me that I didn’t even know I had. Today, I feel more confident, more secure, and more open to everything life can offer me. Beyond all the love I receive from people, which still feels surreal to me, I think the biggest change was realizing that I can occupy spaces that once felt distant. Realizing that I am capable — capable of living things that once seemed very far from my reality. That dreams are truly meant to be lived and turned into stories to tell.”
2. Millions of people followed your journey every day. In a world where everyone tries to please others, how important is it to remain true to your own essence?
“I’ve gone through many phases in my life, and I think that sometimes we end up forgetting our own essence while trying to fit into places that aren’t meant for us. And when you try to be something you’re not, you start losing yourself… nothing feels comfortable, nothing truly flows. But when you begin to stay true to who you are, things start happening in your own way. Maybe not in the timing you expect, but they flow. Staying true to your essence is about having identity, connecting with yourself, and loving yourself too. Because when you know who you are, no one can take that away from you.”
3. Now that a new chapter has begun, what are the biggest dreams you hope to bring to life over the next few years?
“I always say a phrase that means a lot to me: dreams are meant to be lived and turned into stories to tell. And now I’m living a dream while sharing this story with people. This new phase has opened many doors for me, and I want to make the most of every single one of them. I have many dreams… I love fashion, I love outfits and clothes, so who knows, maybe one day I’ll have my own brand? But I also have much bigger dreams behind all of this: truly changing my life, giving my family a better life, achieving stability, clearing my name, taking better care of Lindolfo, helping NGOs, and being able to do things I couldn’t before because of financial limitations. I think my biggest dream today is to live all of this intensely and turn opportunities into something beautiful for myself and for the people I love.”
4. Beauty also has a lot to do with confidence. What makes Samira feel most powerful today? Is there any self-care ritual you consider essential?
“I think that today, what makes me feel most powerful is the confidence I’ve been building within myself. For a long time, I doubted who I was, my potential, even my beauty. I used to criticize myself a lot — I didn’t like my nose because of comments people made about it, my body, my hair… And today I understand that beauty has much more to do with how you feel than just appearance. When I feel good about myself, confident in who I am, it changes everything.
On BBB, people could really see that I like talking to myself, right? But that’s because I truly believe in this connection we have with ourselves. In my moments alone, I like to encourage myself, remind myself of the good things, tell myself that I deserve the world, that I’m capable, that I can do it. I think that changes our energy a lot.
And I love my self-care moments because they’re also moments of connection with myself. I love getting ready, doing my hair, choosing an outfit that reflects my personality, putting on perfume… sometimes even when I’m home alone for no reason at all. But I do it for myself. Because when I take care of myself and look at myself with kindness, I feel much more confident and powerful. I think beauty begins exactly there.”
5. The photos from this edition were created in collaboration with the Deconstruction project, conceived by photographer Anderson Macedo, which proposes an artistic perspective on identity and image. What was it like to be part of this universe, and how did the experience influence your view of fashion as a form of personal expression?
“It was a very special experience for me. The Deconstruction project brings exactly this idea of looking at image in a more artistic, deeper way, and it made me reflect a lot about identity. Being part of it made me realize that fashion goes far beyond clothing or trends… it’s truly about personal expression, about who you are and what you want to communicate to the world.
I’ve always loved fashion, getting dressed up, and putting looks together, but living this experience made me understand even more that every choice we make says something about us. And it gave me certainty that fashion is a way for me to reconnect with myself, not just something aesthetic.
So for me, this experience really expanded my perspective. Today, I see fashion as a language, a way of telling stories without having to say anything at all. And that resonates deeply with me, because that’s exactly what I love: expressing myself through who I am. Because fashion, to me, is when identity becomes visible.”
