Hilary Rhoda

Model. New York

“No one can really prepare you to be comfortable in front of a camera until you just get out there and do it,” model Hilary Rhoda told us. And after working the lens of everyone (starting with Bruce Weber), Rhoda was a clearly a natural in front of our own.
The fresh face of Estée Lauder had her glam squad (Fere Shirvani for make-up and Sasha Alekseyeva for hair) pop by beforehand. After playing with her adorable pooches, Winnie and Chloe, (both were "total impulse buys"), we were eager to chat about (what else?) her beauty regime. Rhoda’s secret? Estée Lauder Advanced Night Repair. She told us about her special relationship with the brand, "My mother has actually used their lipsticks since I was a little girl and I remember going through her vanity and playing with the gorgeous gold tubes. The products have been with me for a long time!"
Rhoda's closet was filled with model-off-duty staples like Alexander Wang combat boots, ocular rainbow-hued bibs by Dannijo, and a well-worn dyed PS1. "After it sat in my closet unused for about a year, I decided to take it to my shoe repairman to have it dyed. I picked the color, and now it’s like a brand new bag!"
Being a model has it's obvious advantages, and rubbing shoulders with both up-and-coming and big-name designers only sweetens the deal. When we came across her jaw-dropping Fendi she told us, "The baguette [bag] was a gift from the design house after I hosted a party for them in New York to celebrate the 15th anniversary of the bag." And while we fell hard for her bejeweled baguette, it was her Nike kicks collection that really won our hearts. You can be sure to spot the SoulCycle addict; she’s the one in the colorful soles.

Throughout my career, I’ve kind of learned things as I go. I remember my first photo shoot with Bruce Weber: I was incredibly nervous and had no idea what to expect, but as soon as I got out there I just figured it out and listened to his direction. Same thing with [walking] runway shows: I just watched what the other girls did and mimicked it.

I never forget to take off my makeup at the end of the night. No matter what, I wash my face before bed. I put on extra moisturizer when I go to sleep to let the skin really soak it up. I use Estée Lauder Advanced Night Repair serum, which makes the texture of my skin feel like velvet. In the morning I use Estée Lauder’s Hydrationist moisturizer which has some SPF in it.

Being the face of Estée Lauder has been incredible. It’s an iconic American brand and as big as it is, it feels like I’m part of the family. Mrs. Lauder was such a pioneer of her time, always manning the department floor herself, selling her products to customers. My mother has actually used their lipsticks since I was a little girl and I remember going through her vanity and playing with the gorgeous gold tubes. The products have been with me for a long time!

Both dogs were total impulse buys. I got Chloe [the fawn coloured Chihuahua] in 2006. I was walking past a pet store uptown and saw her in the window and decided to go inside and play with the puppies. I fell in love with her and had to have her! I was flying to Tokyo the next day to do a CHANEL show, so I asked them to hold her for me when I returned. Winnie [the black and white Chihuahua] was a similar story. I was walking home from brunch with my mother and we saw her in the window. Twenty minutes later I had another dog running around the apartment! It’s a good thing they’re both small dogs, because I wasn’t about to buy a second Goyard bag!

I moved to New York after I graduated from high school to pursue modeling. My mom moved from Maryland with me, and we rented an apartment on the Upper East Side. I wanted to move downtown, so I bought my apartment and have lived here ever since. It was only the third apartment I saw, and called my mom after and made her drive up to see it. She thought I was crazy. I am known to be a bit impulsive, but I knew this apartment was the one.

I bought this bag years ago and it was white. After much use, it had gotten so dirty that it probably wasn’t even possible to clean anymore. So after it sat in my closet unused for about a year, I decided to take it to my shoe repairman to have it dyed. I picked the color, and now it’s like a brand new bag!
