      To begin, you've recently featured in John Frieda's Hot Hair Hotline campaign. What does "hot girl hair" mean to you? I feel most confident and think my hair looks hottest when I have that messy, bed-head volume… an undone version of myself is my ideal hair. What would you consider essential? The volumizing spray is fantastic. I just apply it at the roots, and it provides so much volume. That's my top pick if I had to choose just one product for that sexy, undone look. You’re often associated with that '90s supermodel bounce. Do you have any tips for achieving a good blowout? Oh, my gosh. This might sound terrible, but I'm really bad at doing my own blowouts. However, I have a trick. When I was broke in New York, I'd get a salon blowout once a week, and it would last four or five days. I'd just use some texturizing spray and volume spray, and my hair would look better over time. Luckily, with Baywatch, I get glam every day, so I make those blowouts last. It's nice being on the beach and in the ocean because the salty hair creates that lived-in look [that I adore]. I aim to keep my hair maintenance minimal. I just wake up, brush it, add texturizing spray, maybe a little dry shampoo, and that's basically it. [John Frieda's] is my current favorite; I've been sticking to one product and teasing a bit. Love it. Do you plan to change your signature look, possibly going back to brunette or trying something different? As my style evolves with new phases or roles, I will change it. I’ve never really been into a slicked-back look, so I think my hair will always be down; that's when I feel my best. I completely agree. I'm not into slicked-back styles either. My sister pulls it off, but I just can’t.

      This interview is part of the Who What Wear series called Unfiltered, so I’d love to hear your candid beauty opinions. What are your top three beauty hot takes? That’s a tough one. Okay, while everyone loves the natural-girl glam and "no-makeup makeup," I grew up in the South where pageants were a big deal, and I adore a full beat. I enjoy doing my makeup and going all out; I lean towards maximalism. I think minimal makeup is beautiful, but that’s my hot take. What else don’t I like right now? I'm not a fan of the trend where everyone is thinning their eyebrows. Right? I hesitate to follow brow trends since they change so rapidly. Exactly, and sometimes the hairs don't grow back, so one must be careful. I love what you said about full glam. If you had to leave the house in five minutes, what beauty products would you take with you? I’d definitely bring the John Frieda Volume Lift Pushed-Up Texture Spray. [Being at] the beach and on the move, it's essential. I’d also take Charlotte Tilbury's Airbrush Powder because it's fantastic, and the Clarins Lip Oil, my current favorite. I love that one too. What do you like about it? I just find the applicator so easy to use. The product is juicy and long-lasting. I feel like lip oils usually absorb fast, but this one actually stays put. You famously mentioned on Love Thy Nader that you like using your sisters' toothbrushes. Do you share beauty products too? Oh, absolutely. We share everything; everything is up for grabs in our family. Our getting-ready routine involves all of us in one bathroom. No matter how spacious the place is, we’re all over each other. We often ask, "What’s this? A new product in your kit?" and we just borrow from each other. Anytime one of us gets something new, it becomes part of all our routines. So fun. Has there been anything they've taken from your bag recently? I have these small perfumes—I carry them everywhere—and they're always missing. Every time I look for them, they’re gone, and of course, they deny it. They say, "No, that was
