Model / Actress Cara Delevingne is an ‘Independent Spirit’ for WSJ.

Cara Delevingne: bonafide social media maven, supermodel, actress, and probably one of the coolest chicks in the industry -covers the WSJ Magazine’s June 2015 issue. Looking chic & versatile as ever, she posed for Daniel Jackson | styled by Alastair McKimm. Cara talks difficulties in the modeling world, acting & more in the feature.

Cara is set to star in the upcoming film Paper Towns based on the book by John Green (who also wrote The Fault in Our Stars). Delevingne is one of the biggest models in the world but her passion lies with acting.

She says, “I basically gave up on acting, because trying to get an agent was impossible. ‘Everyone said, “You’re just a model”.

Green said, “Cara Delevingne’s audition blew everyone away (including me!) and she understands Margo profoundly. I am so excited!”

The British babe is the face of huge campaigns from CHANEL, DKNY, Burberry, YSL, to covering VOGUE & much more… the list goes on & on. “I ended up feeling a bit empty. Fashion is about what’s on the outside, and that’s it. There’s no searching, it’s just creating pretty things.”

Adding, “It’s horrible living in a world where I’ll get a call from someone saying, So-and-so says you were partying a lot and you were looking this way and you need to lose weight. It makes me so angry. If you don’t want to hire me, don’t hire me.”

Although, she does credit the benefits of social media because it gives her platform to showcase her kick-a** personality, “I wouldn’t have done as well if I hadn’t had that. Not at all,” she says. “In the ’90s, I wouldn’t have been a supermodel.” Cara’s career is incredible & from modeling, she was able to dip into acting.

She also talks what she was like as child, “I was a terrifying child. I looked like [horror movie doll] Chucky with bleach-blonde hair. I had night terrors, and I would go around the house turning on all the lights and screaming like people were being murdered.’”

Now, Cara has found a way to balance it all, “I used to be in a constant state of panic and anxiety and have far too many voices in my head. I suddenly realized I’m peaceful inside, and I’ve never had that. Even when I was growing up.”

Priyanka Reveals her Beauty Secrets.

Priyanka Chopra is one of the most successful models out there – originally from India, she’s starred in over 40 films, models for GUESS! & other top brands, covered VOGUE India, and was the former Miss India World. The stunning supermodel sat down with VOGUE to talk about makeup tips, bathing with greek yogurt, advice & more.

This buxom beauty doesn’t need a lot of makeup to accentuate her looks, but she does have a few ‘go-tos’:  “When I’m tired, I do dark eyes and a nude lip. Shhh! [So] you’re never going to be able to catch the dark circles. And when I’m not tired, I do a bright mouth and nude eyes.”

Less is more, plus her fail-safe beauty regiment: “An eye is great, a lip is great, but when it comes to foundation, less is more. If you take care of your skin, then you just need to worry about concealing the little things. I have a rule: No matter how tired, sleepy, or drunk I am, I have to take my makeup off at night. It’s my routine no matter where I am in the world, no matter how much sleep I do or don’t get. Shiseido has this really great eye makeup remover. I use a foaming face wash from Chanel. [My routine] takes five minutes, but it goes so far.” 

Fragrances are an essential touch to any woman, even Z Management founder, Thomas Zeumer, says, “Fragrance is a must for any girl. Whatever makes you feel best, wear it to your next casting. Your scent makes you memorable.”

Priyanka changes her perfume constantly, “some women cut their hair. I change fragrances. I’ll stick with one for a year or two, and then suddenly something will happen in my life where I’ll be like, “I want to be a different person.” Right now I wear Flora by Gucci, but Dolce & Gabbana The One and Ralph Lauren Romance are my all-time favorites.”

Chopra’s beauty secret from India: “Bathing with Greek yogurt. It’s really hydrating. Make sure you do it at night, because it leaves a little bit of a scent, and don’t do it if you’re spending the night with someone. [Laughs] If you’re in the shower, just rub it into your body like you would soap, then step out of the shower, let it sit for three minutes and wash it off.  [Three times] a week. If you rub it into your scalp, it will even heal dandruff. It’s magic. I believe in natural therapies. I use so much ayurveda in my day-to-day life.”

On the best advice she’s ever received, “It’s the hardest thing to do, but if you feel happy and confident, you will look beautiful. When you walk out the door and feel like you’re the only girl in the world, people will look at you that way. It’s an amazing, miraculous thing that happens.” Preach girl, preach!

Social Supermodels.

It’s no surprise the newest generation of supermodels have taken the social stratosphere to the next level  – from Kendall Jenner (who’s probably the most followed model in existence), to Cara Delevingne & of course, Gigi Hadid. Even VOGUE jumped on board calling them the Instagirls on their coveted September issue which featured Joan Smalls, Karlie Kloss, Cara, Arizona Muse, Edie Campbell, Imaan Hammam, Fei Fei Sun, Vanessa Axente, & Andreea Diaconu.

AdWeek has dubbed them the ‘Millennial Models’. But, that’s no news to us at Z Management– we’ve seen this push for promotion via social media platforms for a while, especially in the fashion industry. Which is why we launched our APP M3Beauty for professional & aspiring models, giving girls around the globe the tool to create their comp card in seconds. Whether it’s snaping a selfie or selecting a pic, you can promote yourself & share your card on instagram, twitter, tumblr, facebook, & more. That’s some next level promo right there babeZ. Download M3 Beauty in the iTunes / Google Play store.

Before Gigi landed her major modeling contracts with Tom Ford, Victoria’s Secret, Maybelline & more, she took to Instagram to tell her followers of her 1st contract – when she was signed with IMG Models, since then it’s been all ‘OMG Gigi!’. She’s reigned the runway at fashion week & covered top mags — now she’s getting futuristic for AdWeek’s latest issue | Photographed by Alexei Hay.

AdWeek points out, “the millennial models have achieved success both in the realm of high fashion and the commercial world—a rarity since the supermodel era of the ’90s.”

Gigi recently covered Teen Vogue alongside top model, Binx Walton, their editor in chief Amy Astley says, “There are tons of examples of successful working models who don’t have a big Instagram following and aren’t interested in social media but it’s becoming something more and more that the ad clients are looking for—and all the girls know it. The game is definitely changing.”

Harper’s Bazaar executive editor Laura Brown says of British beauty Delevingne, “Cara’s a gorgeous girl, but her personality and her social media, that’s what made her, whereas I think Karlie’s just the sort of emblem of good health and girlfriendship. They have their own little currencies on social media, and I think that they’ve become, at least to us, the sort of archetype.” She also talks about SM, “If a model happens to come with a few thousand or a few million followers, that’s amazing for brands. Especially if you’re a brand that wants to target a new, younger demographic, you’d have to consider [hiring] those girls in a second.”

Hadid also stuns for VOGUE Spain’s latest issue (catch it on our Tumblr Blog HERE), but she talks about ‘life after modeling’, she says, “What people want to know is, OK, what’s after modeling? And that’s forcing us to think about those things [even earlier]. It’s not just OK anymore to model until you’re 25 and then stop and be a housewife.”

So, what does she have planned? “I’m an entertainer, and I think that I’ll always be in that business,” she adds, “Who knows? I could always be a fact checker on CSI.” (Hadid currently took a leave of absence from The New School in NYC to focus full time on modeling – but she has plans on returning & getting her degree).

Well, her fellow supermodel BFFs are already proving their careers are not only expanding from modeling but their not ending anytime soon.

Kloss (the latest face of L’Oreal Paris) has “her own line of cookies with New York bakery Momofuku Milk Bar, taken classes at Harvard Business School, learned how to code & participated in a panel on social media at SXSW. Earlier this year, she announced she was ending her run as a Victoria’s Secret Angel so she could attend New York University’s Gallatin School of Individualized Study.” Ummm talk about GiRLBOSS.. or ModelBOSS in this case.

Cara, who’s Chanel’s main homegirl, has started dipping into acting, she’s set to star in multiple films, including the much anticipated ‘Paper Towns’.

Margot Robbie for Vogue Australia.

Margot Robbie made waves in the industry with her stellar (and stunning) performance in Scorsese’s film, The Wolf of Wall Street. The Australian actress kicked-a** in her role & gained some serious cred when she told Leonardo DiCaprio to get ‘out of her light’ while filming. She said “I don’t think anyone has told him to get out of their light in quite some time. He seemed extremely [shocked], but it was kind of funny.”

Now, the blonde beauty looks like an ethereal [chic] goddess for VOGUE Australia’s March 2015 issue // photographed by Alexi Lubomirski // styled by fashion director Christine Centenera. The 24 year old actress continues her unique reign over the movie industry & more.

She said of her breakout role, “Wolf (The Wolf of Wall Street) was so insane and doing it was such a crazy, amazing experience. But once I’d done it, or while I was doing it even, I didn’t see how I could possibly move things forward from that because that was just so incredible.”

Robbie is in the upcoming box office hit, ‘Focus’ alongside Will Smith — but you have to hear her audition story while she was in Croatia. She says, “It was 6 in the morning. I’d been swimming, and I got the call saying, ‘Oh, yeah. You need to be doing an audition with Will Smith like tomorrow in New York. So your flight’s booked for tonight.’ And I was like, ‘Tonight? Oh, my God.’ I asked the lady at the hostel I was staying at, ‘Oh, how do I get off this island? I need to go to the mainland.’ And she was like, ‘Oh, there’s only one boat a day, and it leaves in 20 minutes.’ And I was like, ‘Oh, my God’.”

“[I] grabbed all my stuff. Left half of it probably in the hostel … got to the airport. Waited eight hours, and then I went to France, and then I went to New York. And by the time I got to New York, I’d now not slept for, like, well over two days.”

LOL! Well homegirl still nailed the audition, and she speaks highly of her costar, “Will is the loveliest person. I’d heard he was the nicest guy ever, so funny, so professional, and I thought: ‘He can’t be that great’, and then I got on set with him and I was like: ‘You are that great, I want you to be president of the world because you are amazing!’”
