The top model transforms sensitivity, memory, and aesthetics into a fragrance brand that blends beauty, wellness, and innovation. Among all creations, Blooming Fire rises as the signature scent of this new era. Photo Disclosure by Ôrəbella Bella Hadid and the Birth of a Signature Brand Known for her magnetic presence and refined aesthetic in the world’s leading fashion campaigns, Bella Hadid has expanded her creative territory into fragrance. The result is Ôrəbella, a deeply personal project born from her search for perfumes that are gentler on the skin, more sensorial, and rich with meaning. About the relationship with your family roots (Arabs): “When I think of the Middle East, I think about fragrance … It goes back to my teta … and my aunts and uncles having these fragrances they would mix for themselves … that were such a part of their personalities; I hope ‘Ôrebella can be one version of their personalities, as well.” The concept is bold: alcohol-free fragrances with a dual-phase formula that combines scent with skincare. Each bottle is designed like a natural geode — a symbol of hidden glow — echoing Bella’s fascination with aura, energy, and emotional expression. “Through my healing journey, I found that I was extremely sensitive to the alcohol in traditional perfumes — both physically and mentally … That is the main reason I wanted to find an alternative, so essential oils became an artistic and experimental process for me.” Said Bella Hadid Ôrəbella isn’t just a fragrance line. It’s a new aesthetic in contemporary beauty: minimal, emotional, and rooted in intentionality. Bella reflects on the formula: “It’s the first-ever non-alcoholic, essential oil-based, bi-phase perfume.” The Brand’s Sensory Aesthetic Beyond the striking geode-inspired design, Ôrəbella stands on three pillars: 1. The Skinification of Fragrance Each scent features the Ôrəlixir base — a nourishing blend of Snow Mushroom and five botanical oils (camellia, jojoba, olive, almond, and shea). The result? Longer-lasting scent, soft radiance, and a perfume that behaves like skincare. 2. Aromatherapy as a Creative Language Essential oils are woven into every fragrance, enhancing mood and emotional balance — from energizing citrus to grounding woods. “I hope they make you feel something … For me, they make me feel different versions of nostalgia … I do believe we have a collective consciousness … and collective experiences of different memories …” Said Bella. 3. A Genderless Approach Ôrəbella doesn’t categorize scent by gender. Each fragrance is an atmosphere, a feeling, a sensory narrative — wearable by anyone. Blooming Fire: Beauty at Its Warmest Point Photo Disclosure by Ôrəbella Among all Ôrəbella fragrances, Blooming Fire is the one that truly captures the soul of the brand. It’s the warmest, most tropical, most luminous — a scent that speaks of expansion, sensuality, and presence. Olfactory Profile A warm tropical floral with radiant, sun-kissed notes. Jasmine and monoi lead the composition, while a patchouli base adds depth and longevity. The Mood It Creates Photo Disclosure by Ôrəbella Blooming Fire is the scent of “endless summer”: glowing skin, open flowers, warm nights, and effortless sensuality. It’s striking yet refined — perfectly aligned with Bella’s minimalist, elegant approach to beauty. Who It’s For For those who love sensual florals without heaviness. For skin-scent lovers who enjoy a fragrance that adapts and evolves. For anyone drawn to bright, sunny, modern compositions. Why Blooming Fire Became a Fashion Favorite Photo Disclosure by Ôrəbella It perfectly reflects Bella’s aesthetic: natural, confident, magnetic. The dual-phase formula hydrates the skin, adding texture and longevity. A visual fashion statement: the warm-toned geode bottle has become a staple in beauty editorials and influencer vanities. A strong emotional narrative: Blooming Fire symbolizes growth, inner glow, and the courage to be seen.

'FRANCE' EDITION COVER - NOVEMBER 2025 ISSUE PHOTOS: Victor Ferreira - @ victoor.ph / Makeup: @henrifelix.makeup There are covers that represent a moment. And there are covers that represent a journey, the kind built with discipline, sensitivity, and a profoundly global perspective. Andressa Morais , featured in the FRANCE edition of Hooks Magazine, belongs to the second group. Her story is living proof that identity is built in motion, blending countries, languages, experiences, and passions that, at first glance, seem unrelated, until she brings them together with natural ease. Traveling through 28 countries and speaking four languages did more than expand her repertoire. It redefined her way of existing in the world. “Each culture I encountered taught me to see life through different perspectives,” Andressa says. This multicultural journey shaped a woman who is curious, sensitive, adaptable, and confident in her choices, a presence that carries the same cosmopolitan refinement that inspires the Parisian atmosphere of this edition. Her background in Law, combined with an intense journey in ballet, professional swimming, and competitive volleyball, reveals a rare blend. Strength and delicacy, strategy and artistry, a precise mind and an expressive body. “Ballet gave me elegance and expression; swimming gave me endurance and focus; and Law offered me logic and responsibility,” she says. It is from this unlikely fusion that the most authentic version of Andressa emerges, disciplined, emotional, and deeply committed to her own growth. During her travels, she also discovered the world of wine, a passion that eventually led her to become a sommelier. For Andressa, each bottle is a passage to another place. “Wine is history, culture, and identity,” she says. It is a way of traveling without leaving the spot and of connecting sensitivity and knowledge with elegance. With Italian citizenship and two years living outside Brazil, Andressa learned what it means to feel she belongs to the world. This period opened space for independence, courage, and a more practical, European-inspired lifestyle, guided by the sophistication of simplicity and the pleasure found in small details. In sports, especially volleyball, which is her favorite, she found powerful lessons about focus, resilience, and teamwork. “No one wins alone,” she says, recalling the high-performance teams she played for, such as Bradesco and Barueri. By bringing together all these versions of herself, traveler, athlete, artist, lawyer, sommelier, and global citizen, the answer emerges for anyone seeking to understand who Andressa Morais truly is, a woman driven by evolution. “The common thread is the constant search for my best version,” she says. It is this plurality, this expanded perspective, and this elegant presence that make Andressa not only the face of the FRANCE edition, but also the perfect representation of what it means to live with authenticity and purpose, both in the world and for the world. Check out the exclusive interview: You have visited 28 countries and speak four languages. How has this multicultural experience transformed your worldview and influenced the woman you are today? Traveling through 28 countries and communicating in four languages has deeply expanded my perception of the world and of myself. Each culture I encountered taught me to see life from different perspectives, to value diversity, and to develop a much more refined sense of empathy. These experiences made me a more adaptable, open, curious, and confident woman. I believe that living among different realities brought me maturity, sensitivity, and a global mindset that I carry into every area of my life. Your background in Law, combined with an intense journey in ballet and professional swimming, reveals a rare blend of discipline and sensitivity. How do these very different areas connect within your personal story? Although they may seem distant, all these areas are part of the same foundation that shaped me: the discipline of routine, the sensitivity of movement, and the commitment to my own growth. Ballet brought me elegance, posture, and expression; swimming gave me strength, endurance, and focus; and Law offered me logic, clarity, and responsibility. Together, these experiences shaped my character and taught me that excellence is born from the union of technique, emotion, and determination. Besides sports, you are also a sommelier. At what point did the world of wine enter your life, and what fascinates you most about this art? The world of wine entered my life very naturally during my travels. I realized that each bottle carried history, culture, and identity, and that sparked my curiosity. Studying wine became a passion, and today, what fascinates me the most is precisely this possibility of discovering the world through aromas and flavors. For me, being a sommelier is about uniting sensitivity, knowledge, and a deep appreciation for the experiences that each wine provides. You lived outside Brazil for two years and hold Italian citizenship. How did this international experience impact your choices and your current lifestyle? Living outside Brazil and having Italian citizenship expanded my sense of belonging to the world. Those years abroad taught me independence, courage, and the ability to start over anywhere. They also influenced my lifestyle in many ways. Today, I am more practical, cosmopolitan, open to new cultures, and aligned with a European way of living, one that is balanced, elegant, and appreciative of small joys. Volleyball is your favorite sport, and you even played professionally on teams such as Bradesco and Barueri. What did that period on the court teach you about focus, resilience, and teamwork? Volleyball shaped me in many ways. Playing on high-performance teams taught me to have absolute focus, to handle pressure, and to understand that overcoming challenges is a daily process. I also learned that teamwork is about trust, communication, and respect. No one wins alone, and every victory is built collectively. These values stay with me to this day and influence everything I do. With so many different experiences — including dance, high-performance sports, Law, wine, travel, and languages — what do you feel is the common thread that connects all these versions of Andressa Morais? The common thread is the constant pursuit of my best version. Everything I do comes from the desire to evolve, to learn, and to transform each experience into growth. I am driven by curiosity, discipline, and a passion for challenges. In essence, all these areas reveal the same core: a determined, versatile, sensitive woman who is always open to reinventing herself.

'HEALTH' EDITION COVER - NOVEMBER 2025 ISSUE Photo: @andersonmmacedo_ | @demmacedo / Beauty: @g.make.hair / Styling: @callmebylacerda / Video editor: @olivervideomaker_ There are journeys that don’t begin with certainty — they begin with courage. And there are women who, even before knowing who they would become in the world, already carried within themselves the most essential gesture of medicine: care. She is the daughter of a Psychologist and an Engineer; she grew up surrounded by deep conversations, discipline, and affection. The older sister of twin brothers who became engineers, a Taurus with a steady soul, and today, at 43, she looks at her story with the serenity of someone who walked through difficult roads and still chose, always, to keep going. Motherhood, loss, persistence, love, and vocation shaped the woman who would become not only a Plastic Surgeon, but a safe haven for other women — especially mothers — to rediscover their self-esteem. Medicine was not a straight path. It took years of doubts, attempts, entrance exams, changes, longing, intense work, and debts that surpassed half a million reais. But there was one thing that never dissolved: the calling. The calling to care. During her residency, she realized her gaze wasn’t just technical — it was sensitive. Reconstruction, burns, anatomy, and the delicacy of detail guided her toward Plastic Surgery. And the Operating Room, with its sounds, smells, and rituals, became synonymous with Belonging. Her deepest specialization, however, wasn’t born in a hospital. It was born at home. Valentina and Lucca: the silent revolution of motherhood With the arrival of Valentina and, later, Lucca, everything changed. Her body, rhythm, priorities, and identity were reorganized. And it was precisely in that intimate mirror — the same one where so many women also see themselves — that she found her most human purpose. As she experienced her own post-pregnancy changes, she began welcoming other mothers who were seeking not just a renewed body, but a rediscovered identity. That was how her most defining specialty was born: the mommy makeover , a surgical gesture that restores not only shape, but energy, belonging, and self-esteem. Pamela Massuia and Ricardo Since 2018, she and Ricardo — a Neurosurgeon, husband, and partner for 22 years — have transformed RP & Clinic into a space where science, care, and humanity walk side by side. They met in their first year of medical school. He became her emotional strength, her structure, her silent support. She often says she had many angels along the way. And there was one greater angel: her father. Alzheimer’s arrived early, at 54. She witnessed everything. She cared for him until the very last day — the day he passed away in her arms after she asked him, with love and pain, to rest. That farewell deeply shaped the way she sees life, the body, and beauty. She does not believe in excess. She does not believe in procedures that deform identities. She does not believe in aesthetic trends that sacrifice health. Her style is quiet luxury : elegant, discreet, minimalist results that respect each woman’s body. In her consultations, she dedicates more than an hour to every patient. She sketches every contour. She draws futures. They leave with markings. And they laugh. And they recognize themselves again. In the postoperative period, she is there — literally. When it’s time to close their eyes. And when it’s time to open them again. She gives her personal number. She answers everything. With two children, a busy life, consultations, and surgeries. But she answers. Because, as she says: “They chose me.” For her, beauty is not born from the scalpel. It is born from the sum of attitude, energy, and presence. There are people who look beautiful but cannot sustain that beauty in daily life. And there are ordinary people who become extraordinary through generosity, lightness, and character. The future of aesthetics, for her, fits into one word: harmony. The simple. The elegant. The lasting. Fashion has always been part of her life. A self-declared shopaholic (now a little less because of the kids, she says with a laugh), she believes that dressing is an emotional mirror — and that aesthetic well-being also involves the way we move through the world. This story is not about plastic surgery. It is about courage. About a woman who went through debt, loss, motherhood, exhaustion, and difficult choices. It is about someone who found in Medicine not just a career, but a space of emotional healing for herself and for other women. Her story isn’t beautiful because it is perfect. It is beautiful because it is real. And now, after seeing her through the “lens” of narrative, it is time to hear her own voice — the one that deepens, completes, and reveals her journey even more. 1. When you look back on your journey, what is the first memory that connects you to medicine? Was there a moment — a “click” — when you realized Plastic Surgery was your place in the world? Medicine wasn’t my first choice. Veterinary Medicine and Journalism were the careers that came to my mind. When I was little, I had a dog who suffered from seizures. I helped care for him during his episodes. He stayed with me until he was 18, and his name was Luck. I always had this feeling of healing and caring inside me, but I knew it wouldn’t be with animals, because I felt too sorry for them. I couldn’t imagine myself operating on a dog (laughs). Plastic surgery came much later. Getting into medicine was an achievement — a very hard path. I took entrance exams for three years. When I began considering private universities, I also applied in Portugal. I lived there for three months, and it was an incredible experience, but a sad one. Missing my family and seeing myself alone every day made me anxious. I came back. I applied for Dentistry at Fuvest and private universities, hoping for a scholarship — and I passed. On the day of freshman initiation, my mother arrived with a little towel embroidered with a tooth. I was very upset. That wasn’t the future I wanted. Later that afternoon, after showering and still washing off the paint, I went on the PUC-SP website and, to my surprise: I had passed! It was a mix of happiness and sadness. I called my father right away. He asked me: “What do you want, sweetheart?” And I answered: “Medicine.” In that moment, the desire appeared stronger than ever. And that was it. I spent months taking the Cometa bus from São Paulo to Sorocaba — full days of classes, an exhausting routine right from the start. After three months, I realized it would be impossible to continue living in São Paulo. I would have to move to Sorocaba — another expense. My father could only afford the first month’s tuition. The rest I pursued through scholarships. I graduated with student debt from PUC and FIES — more than 500 thousand reais, with interest. In medical school, I constantly thought about Gynecology. In my fourth year, I decided to intern in the field — I didn’t like it. It wasn’t something I could see myself doing for a lifetime. So I considered General Surgery and then, maybe, Vascular or Plastic Surgery. Plastic Surgery — from burn care to reconstruction to aesthetic procedures — always fascinated me. Being in that environment was what I wanted. The smell of the operating room, the scrubs, everything enchanted me. It wasn’t easy. Six years of medical school, two years of General Surgery, three years of Plastics. Then, back in São Paulo, I chose to pursue yet another post-graduate degree in Facial Surgery, Rhinoplasty, and Advanced Cosmiatry. But today, my greatest focus came from my own transformation as a mother. After Valentina, my world changed. I have two children — Valentina, who is turning eight, and Lucca, who just turned five. My body changed. My purpose did too. I began attracting women who had also gone through profound body transformations and were seeking a new version of themselves after motherhood. And that’s when mommy makeover surgeries began — the procedures I perform most today. 2. Is there a phrase, principle, or philosophy that defines your vision of beauty? For me, beauty is only complete when combined with attitude. How many people are beautiful, but the sum of their behavior and energy doesn't make them that beautiful after all, right? On the other hand, some people are so charismatic, pleasant, and full of good energy that they become special — and beautiful, yes. 3. How do you balance Technique, Science, and Aesthetic Sensitivity at the center of each procedure? Exaggeration has never been part of my training. I never liked the overly dramatic results I saw from some mentors. Elegance and beauty always go together. Beauty, in a minimalist and non-extravagant context, is where I find myself. And it’s not easy to work within that line, because it’s very fine. Many times I say “no” to patients — and yes, I lose the surgery — but I remain loyal to what I believe. Because I know that sometimes a request might cause harm to that body or result in excess. I like caring and providing safety as if I were the patient, or someone in my family. The culture of my clinic is built on principles of Respect, Care, Empathy, and Nobility. My patients come to me because of this — not just the surgical technique. It’s like: “a mother taking care of me and helping me return better to my family.” 4. In your opinion, what is the biggest myth about plastic surgery that still needs to be dismantled? That plastic surgery will give you a body transformation you didn’t build throughout your life. If you don’t change your habits, you will lose everything it gave you. We surgeons create beautiful body contouring, but not all of the success comes from the Operating Room. Half is mine, and half is the patient’s. Discipline and consistency must be present for the results to last. 5. How do you believe your approach sets you apart from other professionals in the field? I am known for giving a lot of attention and follow-up. I’ve always liked caring, listening, and understanding every phase of the postoperative journey. I stand out in many aspects, starting from the very first consultation: I spend more than an hour with each patient. I already draw on her body everything I will do in the operating room — they leave the consultation fully marked (laughs). They love it! I am present in the immediate postoperative period. I am there when they close their eyes and when they open them again. Afterwards, they have my personal phone number. I am the one who replies. Not my nurse or my physical therapist — me, helping with every detail. Even with two children and the busy life of a mother and a woman, I am there for them. They chose me. 6. Can you recall a specific case in which you witnessed a patient’s emotional transformation beyond the aesthetic results? I have so many stories of change and rebirth from this “new woman” that it could easily become a full TV series! In fact, we’re launching a segment on social media called “After the kids, before myself”, where I’ll share these real cases of habit changes, behavior shifts — everything that happens after plastic surgery. 7. What do you consider a successful surgery? Is it the physical result, the spark in their eyes, the newfound confidence? For me, a successful surgery is one without serious complications — when, in the postoperative phase, the patient feels well, without pain, and begins to notice her transformation day after day, feeling truly happy. 8. Being a woman in Medicine — especially as a Surgeon — is still a challenge? What was it like earning your place in a historically male-dominated environment? Today, women have gained significant visibility in Plastic Surgery, especially Brazilian female surgeons. I believe we are capable, detail-oriented professionals, and because of our focus on safety and care, many patients prefer to undergo surgery with women. This feminine eye for detail — the kind only another woman truly sees and understands — makes a real difference. Even when it comes to embarrassment, such as in intimate surgeries: many patients still don’t feel comfortable with male surgeons. 9. You have a very distinctive visual style. Do fashion and medicine intersect in your routine? How does your image communicate your positioning? Fashion and plastic surgery are deeply connected. The body is shaped alongside each woman’s personal style. Most patient concerns come precisely from discomfort with clothes, necklines, and how pieces fit. In my daily life, I like to express femininity with elegance and clean, structured cuts. I seek authority and respect, but without losing the essence of being a woman, a mother, and a professional. I believe our visual positioning inspires other women and attracts those who feel connected to me in some way. 10. If you could summarize the future of beauty in one word, what would it be? Harmony. Simplicity, without excess. Quiet luxury. Just like in fashion, exaggeration gives way to what is elegant and harmonious. Pamela Massuia and Family 11. What message would you like to share with women who want to transform their own story — whether in aesthetics, in their career, or in life? In life, regret always comes from what we didn’t do. What we did and didn’t go as planned becomes learning. I encourage my daughter every single day to stay true to herself — to her desires — without hurting or stepping over anyone. What belongs to her will come through effort and with God guiding her path. And I’ll be here, cheering and praying for her to make good choices. To every woman, I say this: don’t procrastinate. Stay in motion. The universe will always be on your side. Buy the physical edition of the magazine featuring Dr. Pamela below:

In less than six years, what began as Kim Kardashian’s vision of “solutionwear” has evolved into one of the most valuable fashion brands of the decade. This week, Skims  reached a monumental milestone: a $5 billion valuation , following a $225 million funding round led by Goldman Sachs. Photo Disclosure SKIMS For a company born online in 2019, built around the promise of comfort, inclusivity, and modern femininity, the number represents more than financial success — it marks a cultural turning point. A Revolution in the Basics When Kim Kardashian and entrepreneur Jens Grede launched Skims, the goal wasn’t just to sell shapewear. It was to redefine it. Gone were the days of discomfort and invisibility; in their place came a product that celebrated the body rather than hiding it. With multiple skin tones, inclusive sizing, and sleek, minimalist branding, Skims turned the most intimate pieces of clothing into symbols of empowerment. Photo Disclosure SKIMS “I created Skims because I couldn’t find anything that really matched my skin tone or made me feel comfortable all day,” Kim explained. “I wanted something that felt like a second skin — supportive, soft, and empowering at the same time.” What started as a small direct-to-consumer brand soon became a cultural staple — featured on runways, in everyday wardrobes, and across the world’s biggest retail platforms. The Strategy Behind the Empire Photo Disclosure SKIMS Behind the glossy campaigns and celebrity endorsement lies a calculated, disciplined business strategy. The brand’s success rests on five pillars: inclusivity, innovation, digital dominance, smart expansion, and cultural influence. From the start, Kardashian leveraged her immense social media reach to create a sense of intimacy between brand and consumer. Every product drop became an event. Every collection told a story. “I’ve always loved storytelling through fashion,” Kim shared. “With Skims, every launch is personal. It’s about listening to what people actually want — not just what the industry says they should wear.” Photo Disclosure SKIMS Now, Skims is scaling beyond the screen. With physical retail stores in the U.S. and plans for global expansion, the company is setting its sights on the next stage of luxury lifestyle branding. Its recent collaboration with Nike — blending performance wear with Skims’ signature aesthetic — further cements its position in the athleisure and activewear market. Redefining Success in Fashion The $5 billion valuation positions Skims above legacy names like Victoria’s Secret and Under Armour — a testament to the power of relevance over tradition. Investors aren’t just betting on Kim Kardashian’s celebrity; they’re investing in a business model that reflects modern consumer values: diversity, body positivity, and authenticity. “From day one, we wanted Skims to feel like a community, not just a company,” Kim said. “I think that’s why people connect with it — because they see themselves in the brand.” Photo Disclosure SKIMS More importantly, Skims demonstrates how a celebrity brand can transcend the fleeting nature of fame. Kardashian, once dismissed by critics as a reality star capitalizing on her name, has now built a legitimate business empire — one that influences how the world perceives comfort, beauty, and confidence. What Comes Next With annual sales projected to exceed $1 billion in 2025, Skims is entering a defining chapter. The company’s next frontier lies in expanding into new categories — men’s collections, beauty, and accessories — while maintaining the core philosophy that made it iconic: every body deserves to feel at ease in its own skin. “As we grow, I never want to lose that feeling — the idea that Skims is for everyone,” Kim emphasized. “It doesn’t matter your body type, your age, your background — everyone deserves to feel confident.” Photo Disclosure SKIMS As Kim herself once said, “It’s not just about shapewear; it’s about confidence. I wanted to create something that helps people feel like the best version of themselves.” That mission has now turned into a multibillion-dollar empire — and a powerful statement that the future of fashion belongs to those who combine purpose with precision.

Today, November 12, the film world celebrates not only Anne Hathaway’s birthday — born in 1982 in Brooklyn — but also a career that has become synonymous with talent, versatility, and longevity. More than twenty years after charming audiences as the clumsy princess of The Princess Diaries , Anne remains one of Hollywood’s rare artists who has matured before the camera without ever losing her spark — or her sense of purpose. Anne Hathaway in "The Princess's Diary" — Photo: Disclosure/ Everett Collection From Mia Thermopolis to Hollywood Royalty It was in 2001 that Anne captured global attention with The Princess Diaries , playing Mia Thermopolis, a regular teenager who discovers she’s heir to a royal throne. The success was immediate — and suddenly, the young woman who once dreamed of Broadway was a household name. But Hathaway was never content to stay within the “princess” mold. Determined to expand her artistic depth, she sought out more challenging and complex roles. The Turning Point: Ambition and Reinvention Photo: Reproduction/ Getty Images Her pivotal moment came in 2005 with Brokeback Mountain , directed by Ang Lee. As Lureen Newsome, she proved she could tackle emotionally layered stories and shed her youthful image. The following year, she cemented her versatility alongside Meryl Streep in The Devil Wears Prada  (2006), portraying Andy Sachs — a young assistant navigating the ruthless world of fashion, learning that authenticity is the ultimate luxury. That performance didn’t just mark a generation — it positioned Hathaway as an actress capable of balancing charisma with dramatic weight, a rare feat in Hollywood. Oscar Glory and Artistic Immortality Anne Hathaway’s artistic peak arrived in 2012, when she portrayed Fantine in Les Misérables . Her haunting performance — raw, vulnerable, and transformative — earned her the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress. The scene where she sings I Dreamed a Dream  remains one of modern cinema’s most unforgettable moments, proof of what happens when discipline meets emotional truth. Soon after, she ventured into the vastness of Interstellar  (2014), directed by Christopher Nolan. Balancing intellect and sensitivity, Hathaway demonstrated once again that no genre is beyond her reach. Beyond the Screen: Style, Substance, and Advocacy Off-screen, Hathaway has cultivated a career grounded in authenticity and awareness. As a UN Women Goodwill Ambassador, she uses her platform to promote gender equality and advocate for maternity rights and women’s representation in Hollywood. Her public presence — poised yet fearless — has made her one of the industry’s most respected voices. Nostalgic Returns and New Horizons Photo: Reproduction/ Getty Images More than two decades into her career, Anne continues to explore new creative territories. The long-awaited confirmation of The Princess Diaries 3  delighted fans eager to see her revisit the role that introduced her to the world. And according to recent reports, The Devil Wears Prada 2  is also in the works, reuniting Hathaway with Meryl Streep and Emily Blunt — a comeback that promises to blend cinema and fashion in grand style once again. Anne Hathaway in "The Princess's Diary" — Photo: Disclosure/ Everett Collection Eternal, Yet Ever-Evolving Anne Hathaway’s legacy extends far beyond awards or box office numbers. Her story is that of a woman who learned to grow under the spotlight without being defined by it — someone who challenges labels and moves effortlessly between glamour and vulnerability. At 43, Anne stands as proof that true stardom isn’t about fame — it’s about evolution, courage, and the ability to inspire. Happy birthday, Anne Hathaway — here’s to more roles, more risks, and more dreams fulfilled.

'BRASIL' EDITION COVER - NOVEMBER 2025 ISSUE Photos Disclosure By Press In a world where the pursuit of standardized beauty often crosses into excess, one Brazilian name has stood out for taking a different path: Dr. Leandro Rago. In a recent and significant international award, the Leandro Rago Method  was honored, marking the recognition of a philosophy that seeks not to reshape but to enhance innate beauty. Far from clinics that resemble production lines, Leandro Rago has built his reputation on an approach that is both scientific and profoundly human. Dr. Leandro Rago’s journey began with a fundamental question: why did orofacial harmonization — a field with such great potential — so often result in standardized, artificial-looking faces? The answer, he explains, lay in the lack of personalization. “My goal has always been to prove that it’s possible to achieve natural results while respecting the individuality of each face,” he says. It was out of this dissatisfaction that, in 2009, he began developing his own original methodology — one that steered away from “ready-made formulas” and the excesses that, in his view, trivialized the practice. The Leandro Rago Method  is the embodiment of this philosophy. It is based on a meticulous assessment of each patient’s anatomy and facial proportions, employing advanced techniques and top-quality products to achieve subtle and elegant balance. The premise is simple yet powerful: the best result is one that people can perceive as rejuvenation and enhancement — but can’t quite tell what was done. In Stockholm, on the evening of June 13, 2025, when his name was announced as the winner of Best Clinical Case of the Year  at the BTS Stockholm Award , Leandro Rago’s thoughts were not on the trophy he held. Instead, he reflected on the faces that had passed through his hands, the stories he had heard during consultations, and the early desire that drove him to prove that orofacial harmonization could be done differently. “I have always believed that naturalness is the only true path in aesthetics. This award confirms that it was worth holding on to that belief — and that the world is now moving toward what I’ve always stood for,” he says. From Restlessness to Method Dr. Leandro’s journey, guided by his core principle “Natural, yet Meaningful!” , does not follow the usual logic of standardized protocols. He has always been unsettled by artificial results and by the beauty ideals imposed by the aesthetic industry. This very discomfort led him to develop the LEANDRO RAGO METHOD  — a philosophy that rejects pre-established formulas and values the uniqueness of every face. The method is built upon a triad: attentive listening, a strong theoretical foundation, and the combination of ultra-customized techniques. Before any procedure, time is devoted to understanding who the patient is — their concerns, desires, and expectations, as well as how they perceive themselves. Then comes a detailed analysis that considers not only facial harmony but, above all, the preservation of the patient’s individuality and natural expression. “There is no universal mold for beauty. There is the balance within each individual,” emphasizes Dr. Rago. International Recognition Upon receiving the international award, the surgeon celebrated not only a personal achievement but also the consolidation of a growing movement in Brazil and beyond — one of ethical and conscious aesthetics. His pioneering stance in advocating for natural beauty was both recognized and celebrated, proving that his vision has long been ahead of its time. For him, the recognition is also a shared one. “This award isn’t just mine. It belongs to every patient who trusted me, to every colleague inspired by this path, and above all, to my family, who has always stood by my side,” he says. The impact was immediate. Across professional networks, his name quickly became synonymous with naturalness in facial harmonization. Among peers, his method became a topic of discussion and inspiration. “It’s proof that it’s possible to unite technique and humanity without losing sight of purpose,” commented a colleague who has closely followed his career. Impact Beyond the Mirror The LEANDRO RAGO METHOD  goes far beyond facial aesthetics. For many patients, it represents the recovery of self-esteem, confidence, and even the courage to recognize themselves in the mirror again. It’s not just about filling or correcting — it’s about restoring softer expressions and preserving each person’s individuality. Common stories shared in his practice include patients who used to avoid photos, social events, or even family gatherings due to insecurity. After treatment, the transformation extends far beyond facial contours — it reshapes how they interact with the world. “When a patient tells me they’ve started smiling in photos again, that’s the greatest confirmation that I’m on the right path,” Rago shares. Inspiration for Professionals If for patients the method represents personal transformation, for professionals it signals a new horizon. More and more colleagues in the field are seeking to deepen their understanding of the philosophy created by Leandro. His advocacy for naturalness has become a counterpoint to the standardized practices that dominate conferences and social media. The international recognition further strengthens this influence. Many see the award not merely as the crowning of a professional, but as the validation of an approach that prioritizes science, technique, and purpose. The Future of Harmonization The global recognition and growing adoption of the LEANDRO RAGO METHOD  signal a shift in the culture of facial harmonization: subtlety, elegance, and individuality are becoming the new measures of success. In this context, Dr. Leandro Rago stands not only as a leading reference but as a true agent of transformation, positioning Brazil at the forefront of the global conversation on beauty, health, and naturalness. “The sky is the limit — for those who believe in limits. That’s not our case!” he states, with the conviction of someone who sees far ahead. More than consolidating a name, his mission is to consolidate a philosophy — one that believes true aesthetics do not turn a face into someone else’s, but instead allow each individual to recognize themselves, authentic and confident, in the mirror.

In Guillermo del Toro’s long-awaited reinterpretation of Frankenstein, Mia Goth transcends the role of the gothic muse and emerges as a symbol of a new aesthetic — one that fuses the dark and the ethereal. Her costumes don’t merely dress the body; they reveal the spirit. Photo disclosure Ken Woroner/Netflix “I tried on a dress for the first time, and it clicked … She was always far closer to me than I knew.” — Mia Goth That sentence captures the starting point for the entire visual identity of the character. According to costume designer Kate Hawley, every look worn by Elizabeth Lavenza — the devoted yet doomed wife of Victor Frankenstein — is a physical translation of the soul: sometimes translucent, sometimes decaying, but always human. On-screen costume: when the body becomes a visual laboratory Del Toro’s team dove deep into an aesthetic inspired by insects, anatomy, and religious iconography. The chosen materials — iridescent organza, metallic embroidery, and delicate lace — reflect the film’s central dualities: science and faith, love and sacrifice. Ken Woroner/Netflix “Elizabeth is such a complex mix of love, loss, and strength … I wanted to bring a lot of emotion to her, to show her heart and her courage, not just her sadness.” — Mia Goth The palette conceived by Hawley blends aniline green, magenta, and lavender glass tones, echoing beetle wings and the pigments of the Victorian era. One standout piece — a fractaled shawl inspired by insect wings — represents Elizabeth’s emotional metamorphosis. When Goth transforms into Claire Frankenstein, Victor’s mother, her wardrobe turns blood-red, with a veil that flows like smoke. Hawley reveals that Del Toro wanted her “to look like she was made of fog and devotion.” Ken Woroner/Netflix “The shoot was difficult and intense … I walked onto that set and was so nervous I could feel my heart beating in my body.” — Mia Goth Even behind the scenes, the process was visceral. For Goth, the costume wasn’t decoration — it became a second skin, shaping her posture, breath, and expression. From the set to the red carpet: fashion as an emotional extension The darkly romantic and translucent aesthetic of Frankenstein continued through Mia Goth’s real-life appearances. Each premiere became an echo of the film’s haunting beauty: In New York, she wore a sheer Ferragamo dress with wool shearling panels and lace detailing — a modern vision of gothic femininity. In London, she appeared in a lavender gown by Conner Ives, backless and semi-transparent, mirroring Elizabeth’s iridescent palette. In Los Angeles, she embodied the darker side of romance in a black lace gown by Dior, channeling both mystery and sensuality. Her looks were paired with archival Tiffany & Co. jewelry, including a necklace featuring over 40 carats of diamonds, a direct reflection of the opulent precision seen in the film’s costuming. Ken Woroner/Netflix “That was helpful, because that’s exactly how a woman in the Victorian world would feel, and it formed how I moved and how I sat … from the outside in this time around.” — Mia Goth Goth admits that the costumes guided even her smallest gestures. From the stitching to the emotion, everything intertwined — a literal embodiment of Frankenstein’s theme: creation stitched between worlds. A new gothic legacy: redefining feminine darkness Photos Ken Woroner/Netflix Mia Goth’s portrayal in Frankenstein signals a new chapter in the fusion of fashion and cinema — where gothic style is no longer caricature but refined melancholy. Hawley’s designs and Del Toro’s vision construct a visual poetry that inspires modern fashion narratives: transparency, lace, heirloom jewelry, and the celebration of emotional vulnerability. Photos Ken Woroner/Netflix For the fashion world, Frankenstein stands as more than a film; it’s a visual study in rebirth — a meditation on beauty, fragility, and transformation. photo Netflix And Mia Goth, through her visceral performance, becomes the beating heart of that aesthetic.

'USA' EDITION COVER - NOVEMBER 2025 ISSUE Photo: @fotografajuliana.nyc / Hair: @rivashairstyle / Makeup @ isabelle.tramontim.makeup Photographed in New York, Marcela Biondo graces the cover of the USA edition with the confidence and radiance of someone who has turned her art into a global movement. DJ, producer, and visionary, she represents a generation that sees music not just as sound, but as a language — a bridge between cultures, rhythms, and stories. The Sound That Crosses Borders When Marcela steps onto the stage, something happens. The crowd gives in to the beat, even without understanding every word — and that’s exactly where the power of her work lies. “Funk has an infectious energy and a very strong identity. People connect with the rhythm. It shows that music is a universal language,” she says. With a career built on courage and authenticity, Marcela found her place in the American music scene by revealing the power of beats that celebrate freedom and belonging. “When I arrived in the United States, I knew it wouldn’t be easy, but I also knew that funk had something unique to offer. Today, seeing the American audience connect with this sound is one of the greatest rewards of my journey.” The Brazilian DJ The title “The Brazilian DJ”  has become a symbol of the artist — more than a nickname, it’s a sonic identity. “It’s a way of representing the energy and originality of our culture. Funk is more than just a rhythm; it’s a social expression, a language born in the favelas that has conquered the world.” Blending Brazilian beats with international influences, Marcela creates a modern and captivating fusion, expanding the reach of funk and proving that the dance floor can be a space of cultural freedom. I LOVE FAVELA — global beats, local soul Her new project, I LOVE FAVELA , marks one of the most significant chapters of her career. “I wanted to honor the roots of funk and showcase all the strength and joy that come from the communities. Funk is resistance, creativity, and pride,” she explains. The track was born from a union of talents: it was written by Tállia (@eutallia_) , the songwriter behind some of the genre’s biggest hits; features MC Lone (@mclone_) , who has over 3 million listeners on Spotify; and Gabby B (@gabbyb_music) , a Miami-based pop artist who sings in four languages. The single’s cover was created by Rio-based illustrator João Lucas (@jcaslu) , while the entire campaign was developed by Alan Richard (@alanrichardz) , a specialist in strategic design and digital launches. The music production is signed by DJ Marcela Biondo  herself, in collaboration with Lyric Lab (mylyriclab) . “I LOVE FAVELA represents love, identity, and the celebration of who we are. It’s a reminder that our culture can be global without losing its roots,” she summarizes. A rising name in global music From performances across several U.S. cities to collaborations with major names in the scene, Marcela has collected unforgettable moments. “One of the most memorable was a show in New York — a packed house, incredible energy, and the feeling of standing on the same stage where great artists have performed,” she recalls. And the future promises even more. Her next release, ‘FEZ 18’ , a collaboration with DJ GG  and Sérgio Antonini , is already on its way to all digital platforms. “This release is going to be big — there’s so much more coming,” she says enthusiastically. The Beat Goes On Authentic, bold, and driven by her passion for creating new connections through music, Marcela Biondo  represents a new generation of artists who don’t follow trends — they create their own. Between beats and borders, she proves that true revolution happens when the sound is as free as the one who creates it. Full interview below From Ibitinga to Washington: how was this journey until you found your place in the American music scene? Leaving Ibitinga and arriving in Washington was a journey filled with dedication, persistence, and love for music. When I first came to the United States, I knew it wouldn’t be easy — but I also knew Brazilian funk had something truly unique to offer. Being a Brazilian woman made things even more challenging, but I started playing at small events, bringing the Brazilian beat to people and gradually winning them over. Today, seeing the American audience connect with funk music is one of the greatest rewards of my career — it proves that when music is real, it transcends all borders. Did you expect Brazilian funk to be so well received abroad? Honestly, I believed in funk’s potential, but the way the American audience has embraced it exceeded my expectations. Funk carries a contagious energy and a powerful identity — it’s impossible to stand still. I think people connect with the rhythm, even if they don’t understand the lyrics. That shows how music is a universal language, and funk has everything it takes to claim an important place on the international stage. The title “The Brazilian DJ” truly reflects your identity. How do you see your role in bringing the funk culture to the United States and introducing this beat to a new audience? “The Brazilian DJ” is a way to represent not only my journey but also the energy and originality of Brazilian culture. Funk is more than just a rhythm — it’s a social expression, a language born in the favelas that has reached the world. My goal in the United States is to showcase that power by blending the funk beat with different local styles and sounds, building cultural bridges and showing that Brazilian music holds a unique place in the global scene. Your new release, I LOVE FAVELA , has been gaining attention for celebrating funk in an authentic and global way. How did this project come to life, and what does it represent to you? The I LOVE FAVELA project was born from my desire to honor the origins of funk and show the world all the strength, joy, and creativity that come from the communities. I’ve always believed that funk is much more than a rhythm — it’s a form of expression, of resistance, and of pride. With this release, I wanted to blend the authenticity of the favela beats with a modern and international touch, proving that our culture has global potential. For me, I LOVE FAVELA represents love, identity, and the celebration of who we are. The single features major collaborations. Can you tell us a bit about these partnerships and what the audience can expect from this union of talents? Yes! This single brings together artists I deeply admire. Each of them contributed their own energy and background, making the final result even more authentic. The idea was to create a true fusion of talents — to show that when we come together, the sound gets stronger and the message travels further. This track is full of identity, rhythm, and truth. The song was written by Tállia (@eutallia_), one of the biggest funk composers in Brazil, who has penned several hits such as Bota um Funk (Pedro Sampaio) and Aí Papai (Anitta), among other major successes. Performing on the track, we have MC Lone (@mclone_), who already has over 3 million listeners on Spotify — the result of hard work and dedication. His style aligns with the baile funk and funk ostentação scene, with upbeat rhythms, party lyrics, and a strong connection to the energy of Brazil’s peripheral territories — staying true to the essence of the genre. We also feature Gabby B (@gabbyb_music), a pop artist currently based in Miami, FL. She speaks three languages and sings in four — English, Portuguese, French, and Spanish. Gabby blends pop, Latin rhythms, Brazilian baile funk, and reggaetón, creating a sound that transcends borders. The single’s cover art was designed by João Lucas (@jcaslu), a talented illustrator from Rio de Janeiro, who perfectly captured the song’s vibrant essence in his artwork. All the campaign visuals and release strategy were developed by Alan Richard (@alanrichardz) — also from Rio — an expert in Strategic Design, Visual Identity, and Digital Launches, with over 1,000 students in his courses. The track’s production was created by DJ Marcela Biondo herself, in collaboration with Lyric Lab (mylyriclab). Throughout your years in the United States, you’ve performed in different states and at events of various styles. Which moment do you consider the most memorable in your career so far? I believe one of the most memorable moments of my career was a show in New York — a full house, high energy, and that surreal feeling of being on the same stage where so many great artists have performed before! What’s next for DJ Marcela Biondo? Are there new projects, collaborations, or international tours on the horizon following the release of I LOVE FAVELA ? There are so many projects and releases on the way! Our next drop will be a collaboration with DJ GG and singer-songwriter Sérgio Antonini — FEZ 18 will soon hit all digital platforms! Stay tuned, because this release is going to be huge!

'STARS' COVER EDITION - GLOBAL ISSUE Photo: @demmacedo / Video: @olivervideomaker_ / Beauty: @dariobion / Styling: @eduardomurari @diegobbueno / Assistant: @eubillieb / Studio: @nasulstudio / Support: @sparapane_costumes There are artists who perform. And there are artists who overflow. Ismeiow — a persona created by Ismael, born in Anápolis, Goiás (Brazil) — belongs to the latter category. Before becoming a recognized name on the internet, he was the boy who dared to sew his first stitches on his mother’s machine. As a child, he painted faces at parties and celebrations, saving every penny as if collecting possibilities. “I’ve always felt that something greater was on its way,” he recalls. He found his purpose early: at 16, he launched his first channel, where he talked about makeup, sewing, and customization. It was less about teaching and more about freeing himself—and others. Over time, the audience realized that what unfolded on camera was more than technical skill; it was an entire world being created. What began modestly has grown into a community of around 7 million followers and collaborations with major brands such as Disney, Opera, EBAC, and others. Ismeiow wasn’t born overnight. She was shaped in the friction between desire and courage. We had the opportunity to sit down with Ismael and get a glimpse into the mind behind the brilliance that overflows. Come with us. 1. Ismeiow is born from the meeting of art, identity, and performance. When you transform yourself, what changes first — the way you see yourself or the way the world sees you? “When I transform into Ismeiow, the first thing that changes is the way I see myself. Before the world sees me differently, I’m already seeing myself in a new light. It’s as if I turn on a lamp that was always there — only now it’s brighter, more colorful, freer. After that, the world has no choice but to see it too.” 2. Halloween is a poetic license to create other realities. What was the most challenging character or concept you’ve ever brought to life, and what did it reveal about you? “Yzma, without a doubt, was a personal challenge. On the day of Sephora’s Ball, I also had a runway show at São Paulo Fashion Week to attend. I got caught in the rain, ran in heels, got into a stranger’s car, lost my phone — all of that while painted purple — and still made it to the event. Yzma showed me, even if indirectly, that I’m capable of doing anything I set my mind to.” 3. You don’t just create — you enable creation. Founding Ismeiow Vídeo in 2022 was an ambitious move. What’s the biggest myth about being a content creator in Brazil that you’d like to break? “Founding Ismeiow Vídeo was about autonomy — creating my own destiny. I was blessed with an incredible team of editors, and that’s where Ismeiow Vídeo came from. Since then, we’ve edited thousands of videos for every platform — from YouTube to streaming services. The biggest myth about being a creator that I’d like to break? Honestly, none. I just want to keep working and doing what I love. The more disruptive part — I’ll leave that to my fellow creators.” 4. Drag aesthetics demand courage and self-control — from the brush to the stage. Do you have any kind of ritual before transforming into Ismeiow? “I’m not sure I’d call it a ritual, but I always shave my eyebrows and then take a long shower right after. It helps me relax.” 5. If you could leave a message for young artists who have talent but haven’t yet found the courage to put themselves out there, what would be your most radical truth? “No one is going to give you permission to be who you are. Waiting for courage is waiting too long. Do it scared, do it shaking, do it wrong — because art isn’t born from perfection, it’s born from trying. If you feel the urge, that’s already the beginning.” 6. And finally: what is your voice? What would you like to shout to the world if you had the chance? “My voice is a reminder that the improbable can also be beautiful. There’s no right way to exist — there’s only your way. And in my case, it shines, wears a wig, and sometimes scares people a little.”

Photos Disclosure Press The Brazilian designer Charles Hermann , creative director of Victoria Alta Costura , has been drawing international attention after a fashion coincidence  that stirred the global fashion scene. Less than ten days separated Chanel’s show in Paris and Hermann’s presentation in Milan — and both revealed strikingly similar aesthetic proposals. The parallels were impossible to ignore: fluid silhouettes, luxurious fabrics, precision tailoring, and a refined, understated color palette. These elements are deeply embedded in the DNA of both the French maison and the Brazilian brand, which continues to rise as one of the most promising names in haute couture. Hermann, who began his journey in Bahia and now leads Victoria Alta Costura , is known for blending artisanal sophistication, environmental consciousness, and an architectural vision in his creations. His name is already catching international attention and becoming a favorite on red carpets abroad. His collection in Milan reinforced these pillars, featuring upcycled materials and highly intricate couture techniques. When asked about the resemblance to Chanel, the designer responded with grace: “I took it positively, because I saw it as a match of ideas — two creative minds shining,” he said. The show in Milan solidified Charles Hermann’s  name on the international circuit and reinforced the strength of Brazilian fashion, proving that the country can stand on equal footing with the world’s greatest fashion houses — and do so with authenticity, technique, and purpose.
