Tell us about yourself (where are you from, age, whatever you want to add)

Hi! My name is Brianne and I am 21 years old. I have been in the entertainment industry (predominantly as an actress) for over 15 years. I grew up in the suburbs of Los Angeles, California and have lived here my whole life. I have a younger sister named Hailey and two cats, Salem and Goose, who are my whole world. I thoroughly enjoy singing, dance, cinematography, photography, cooking, baking, being active and writing.   

Tell us about your modeling experience. 

I recently was trained at Coco Rocha Model Camp in New York by Coco Rocha. I have also done various freelance work with photographers in my hometown and in Los Angeles. I have done a few shoots as set pieces for TV shows as well. 

What is your biggest dream?

My biggest dream is to eventually play a character that people will dress up as and make an impact in their lives and to walk in various fashion weeks and become a representative for a brand like Lancôme, as well as be a spokesperson and advocate for mental health awareness. Overall, I'd be successful within all of my chosen career paths.

What does it mean to be your own kind of beautiful?

Being your own kind of beautiful is owning and knowing who you are. You aren't scared of what people think, and you live and dress for yourself. Being your own kind of beautiful is becoming your own source of happiness.  

How would you describe your fashion style?

My fashion style has a wide variety of range, but I would say that I'd label my style as classy/preppy and when I'm really feeling my California roots, very California Boho/beachy. But I like to keep pieces from all styles within my wardrobe so I can become whatever I'd like that day. 

Who or what inspires you?

Coco Rocha and Christian Siriano inspire me a lot within the fashion and modeling world, but I also draw my inspiration from the various pieces of art I see within the media and all I can think is "I want to be able to create like that," and then I become determined to do so while creating my own brand. Selena Gomez is a massive inspiration to me as well (and has been since I was a kid) in terms of grace, kindness, and self awareness, especially with all of her work towards mental health. 

What is your advice to someone who is just getting started with modeling?

You have a voice. Know your boundaries, what you're comfortable with and what you're not. Read your contracts. Music can change how you pose and shoot, so have playlists for everything. Modeling is art and you are the muse, have fun with it. 

Describe some obstacles you have overcome in your life and how that has changed or shaped you.

I remember when people's opinions of me ran my life. I was miserable. I cared so much about what people thought, I was constantly second guessing myself and little to no faith in who I was or what I was doing. Then, after a really bad mental spiral, I decided enough was enough and I devoted myself to become better and to stop trying to fit into a role within society or care about people's opinions. Over the course of a few years, (let's be real, self love doesn't happen overnight) I became so much more confident and unbothered by unwarranted opinions and my entire outlook on life changed. I became the source of my own happiness and started living my life the way I wanted to. It was the best decision ever made.

What makes you beautiful/handsome?

I think my kindness makes me beautiful. I always try my hardest and lend a helping hand when I can and show compassion to those who need it. I live by the quote, "where there is kindness, there is goodness, and where there is goodness, there is magic."

What would you say to another girl/guy your age who is struggling with their confidence?

The only person that you will have for the rest of your life is you. Why would you live to please others instead of being content with yourself? You are beautiful and unique. Chase your own happiness and make choices that benefit you. Do what makes you feel good even if it might feel weird. Live your life for you and no one else.
