American Celebrity Stylist and Model Jess Worzel Takes Paris

Sep 29, 2026


The Celebrity Stylist and Model Who Turned the Streets of the French Capital Into Her Own Runway


Paris, France Sep 28, 2026 (Issuewire.com) - In S and B Fashions, Jess Worzel steps beyond the traditional catwalk and into Paris itself, creating a fearless fashion moment defined by confidence, colour and the intoxicating pleasure of being completely oneself.

Paris has always understood that fashion does not truly belong inside a building.

It belongs on the pavement. It belongs on the steps of the Métro, against an old painted doorway, beneath wrought iron balconies and among the ordinary rhythms of people moving through the city.

And this week, Jess Worzel understood the assignment beautifully.

The celebrity model and stylist arrived on the streets of Paris wearing a vivid S and B Fashions swimsuit and proceeded to treat the French capital not as the backdrop to a fashion shoot, but as the runway itself.

There is something wonderfully paudacious about the photographs. Worzel is not attempting to disappear into Parisian elegance. She is challenging it.

Against the muted greens of an iron staircase, the swimsuit explodes with painterly shades of scarlet, orange, yellow and blue. Against a magnificent crimson doorway, model and architecture suddenly seem to be having a conversation about colour. In another frame, she stands before an understated grey Parisian entrance wearing dark sunglasses and pointed black heels, transforming a swimsuit into something unexpectedly metropolitan.

The effect is provocative without appearing calculated.

That distinction matters.

Fashion becomes infinitely more interesting when the person wearing the clothes appears to possess them rather than simply model them. Worzel has that quality. There is personality in the way she occupies a frame. Her tattoos remain visible. Her hair is loose and romantic. Her styling does not attempt to make her immaculate to the point of anonymity. Instead, the woman remains present.

And what a woman to photograph.

As a stylist as well as a model, Worzel appears instinctively aware that the most compelling image is not always the most conventionally perfect one. Sitting on the steps with her chin resting in her hands, she gives us something softer and almost cinematic. There is a dreamy quality to the expression, as though Paris has momentarily interrupted her thoughts.

Then the mood changes.

She rises.

The sunglasses appear.

The posture becomes commanding.

Suddenly she is no longer contemplating Paris. Paris is contemplating her.

That transformation is precisely what makes Worzel so magnetic.

When the Street Becomes the Front Row

The premise behind the shoot is deliciously rebellious: why should swimwear wait for Saint Tropez, Cannes, Ibiza or some immaculate resort swimming pool?

Why shouldn't it have Paris?

By bringing S and B Fashions into the streets, Worzel collapses the traditional boundaries between swimwear, street style and runway fashion. The swimsuit becomes less about a destination and more about an attitude.

She pairs it with slender black heels rather than the predictable sandal. She moves from architectural doors to public staircases. There is no artificial tropical fantasy surrounding her. Instead there is stone, iron, concrete, pedestrians and the beautiful imperfection of a living city.

It gives the photographs an immediacy that a conventional runway could never quite manufacture.

The street does not stop for the model.

People continue looking at their phones. Strangers sit nearby. Life continues around her.

Worzel simply enters that life dressed as though every corner of Paris deserves its own fashion moment.

That is where the images acquire their charm.

They feel less like a woman asking to be noticed and more like a woman who has already decided she belongs.

The Seduction of Confidence

There is another reason these photographs work.

Worzel does not surrender her individuality to the clothes.

Her tattoos, golden curls, red manicure, jewellery, sunglasses and sharply feminine shoes all become part of the visual vocabulary. The swimsuit may be the centrepiece, but Jess Worzel is unmistakably the author of the attitude surrounding it.

That is the advantage of putting a stylist in front of the camera.

She understands that seduction in fashion is rarely about revealing the most skin. It is about creating curiosity.

Worzel gives the camera enough confidence to command attention and enough vulnerability to keep the viewer looking.

One photograph catches her seated almost pensively on the Parisian steps. Another finds her standing before enormous red doors, looking upward rather than toward the lens. There is something wonderfully unhurried about it. She does not appear desperate for the camera's approval.

She makes the camera come to her.

Perhaps that is the secret.

S and B Fashions Meets Paris

The S and B Fashions swimsuit is particularly effective because it refuses to behave like a quiet supporting character.

Its saturated print demands sunlight. Its colours echo paintings more readily than conventional resort wear, bringing warmth against the aged architectural textures surrounding Worzel.

On her, it becomes something beyond swimwear.

It becomes pop art for the body.

There is a distinctly European tension between the old city and the modern woman. Paris supplies history, symmetry and architectural restraint. Worzel supplies movement, skin, colour and irreverence.

Neither overwhelms the other.

Instead, they flirt.

And Paris, famously difficult to impress, suddenly feels surprisingly receptive.

A Woman You Remember

The fashion industry produces beautiful photographs every day. Beauty alone, however, is rarely enough to make an image memorable.

Personality is.

Jess Worzel possesses it in abundance.

There is something refreshingly human about these photographs. She can appear glamorous without becoming inaccessible, sensual without losing playfulness and confident without sacrificing softness. That combination gives her an unusual emotional range in front of the camera.

You can imagine her commanding a runway.

You can also imagine sitting beside her on those steps and talking until the Paris light disappears.

That accessibility may ultimately be her greatest luxury.

In an industry forever searching for perfection, Worzel offers something considerably more compelling: presence.

And so the enduring image from this Paris moment may not simply be a swimsuit, a staircase or a magnificent red door.

It is a woman making the city around her feel temporarily different.

Jess Worzel did not wait for Paris to build her a runway.

She walked outside and found one.

Paris has always been a city where history, culture, and fashion collide. This season, an American model and stylist created a moment that captured the imagination of the French capital as Jess Worzel transformed the streets of Paris into an unforgettable runway and the first in history ever.

Because in Paris, the greatest fashion moments are not always planned inside a venue.

Sometimes, they happen when a woman walks into the city and makes the entire world her runway.

And for a few unforgettable frames, Paris belonged to her.

‘Red Crown’ challenges beauty queen stereotypes through satire, suspense

‘Red Crown’ challenges beauty queen stereotypes through satire, suspense 

Beauty queens are often expected to appear flawless, deliver polished answers and maintain a perfect image, but GMA Pictures’ upcoming film “Red Crown” aims to reveal the imperfections, personal struggles and humanity behind the glamour of pageantry.  Featuring real-life beauty queens, actresses and digital personalities, the satirical thriller explores a fictional competition in which 25 women vie for a P25 million prize, with the stakes extending beyond the usual fight for a crown.  During the film’s recent media conference, the cast discussed how the project challenges stereotypes about beauty queens, examines the pressures of competition, and highlights the importance of authenticity and sisterhood.  Miss Universe Philippines 2013 Ara Arida, who is among the real-life beauty queens in the ensemble, said the film seeks to remind audiences that women in pageantry experience the same emotions and make mistakes like everyone else.  “Beauty queens are humans as well. We’ve been stereotyped that this is how we look, this is how we act but in reality, we can feel sad and be funny as well. We make mistakes but what’s important is we know how to handle it, and we know how to stand up after every mistake,” Arida said.   Miss Chinatown Philippines 2025 Yza Thalia Uy, who plays beauty influencer Faith Villacorta, said her character also challenges the expectation that women must always present a carefully curated image of themselves.   As an influencer, her character is associated with finding the perfect angle, lighting, opportunity, content and appearance. Uy said the film questions the pressure to meet those standards.  “For me, being a true queen or a true woman is all about how you genuinely connect with the people around you. And the first person you’d like to connect with is yourself,” Uy said.  Her sister, Supermodel Universe 2025 International Grand titleholder Yna Angela Uy, also emphasized that pageantry should be about more than physical appearance and confidence.  “It’s not just about the beauty or its facade, but what’s more important is our heart, our truest self,” she said.  Beyond the fight for the crown  Miss Universe Philippines 2023 Michelle Marquez Dee described “Red Crown” as an exaggerated take on the world of beauty pageants, using satire to magnify the pressures and power dynamics that can exist behind the scenes.  “Red Crown is when you take a beauty pageant to the extreme,” Dee said.  She pointed to a scene involving a puppet as an example of how pageant directors can influence contestants behind the scenes.  “Usually in the pageants that we love, we’re fighting for one crown. But this time, we’re fighting for our lives,” Dee said.  She also recalled a conversation with co-star Miss Universe Philippines 2025 Ahtisa Manalo, who described the characters as satirical exaggerations of themselves.  The film’s premise pushes the familiar rivalry among contestants into more dangerous territory, combining the spectacle of pageantry with suspense and comedy.  Director Dominic Zapata said bringing together a large ensemble of performers from different backgrounds was a significant undertaking, but the story offered an opportunity to deliver a broader social message.  “It’s kind of a social statement. This film uses the suspense-thriller genre,” Zapata said.  Ruffa Gutierrez, who plays the national director of the fictional pageant, said the film brings together two industries that have shaped her career.  “The showbiz industry taught me how to tell a story, and pageantry taught me how to own the stage,” she said.  Gutierrez described the film as campy and exciting, with elements of horror and suspense. She also expressed hope that her first collaboration with GMA Pictures would lead to more projects.  Competition, sisterhood  While “Red Crown” dramatizes the rivalry among contestants, its cast members also used the media conference to discuss what healthy competition should look like in an industry where women are frequently compared with one another.   Sanya Lopez said competitiveness does not have to come at the expense of kindness and respect.   “You can still win, you still want to win, but there should be goodness in your heart. Just be nice, be respectful, and it’s a healthy competition when you inspire other women,” Lopez said.  She encouraged women to help one another gain confidence rather than treating fellow contestants solely as rivals.  Faith Da Silva echoed the sentiment, emphasizing that another person’s achievements should not diminish one’s own accomplishments.  “Healthy competition means you shouldn’t compare yourself with other people. The success of other people doesn’t take away your own,” she said, adding that everyone has different strengths, weaknesses, perso­nalities and backgrounds.  Shuvee Etrata said women should make room for one another to succeed instead of viewing opportunities as limited to a single person.  “You lift each other up, you respect each other, and I believe there’s always room for another woman to shine,” she said.  Ashley Ortega, who competed against other athletes as a figure skater, said strong competitors motivated her to improve rather than undermine those around her.  “In a competition, there should always be growth, respect and sisterhood. If there’s comparison or jealousy, I feel like you have lost the competition already,” Ortega said.  She added that learning to accept defeat was an important part of her own experience, allowing her to move forward instead of abandoning her ambitions.  Directed by Dominic Zapata and written by Kit Villanueva and Ken de Leon, “Red Crown” is scheduled to open in Philippine cinemas on Oct. 28.

How to catch your breath

Oct 13, 2026

How to catch your breath

When life feels too fast, your body and mind are asking for a reset. You don’t need an hour-long retreat. Sometimes, all you need is a moment. You can use these techniques anywhere, even in the middle of a busy day. Box breathing: Inhale through your nose for four seconds. Hold for four seconds, exhale through your mouth for four seconds, then hold your breath for another four seconds. Repeat four times. This helps slow your heart rate and signals to your nervous system that you are safe. Drop and Release: Unclench your jaw, lower your shoulders and open your hands. We often hold stress in our bodies without even realizing it. Water and grounding: Take one slow sip of water. Then name three things you can see, two things you can hear and one thing you can feel. This exercise draws you out of your thoughts and brings you back to the present. Calm the mental noise Brain Dump: Write down everything swirling in your head. Getting it out of your mind and onto paper makes it feel smaller. The “not now” list: You can’t do everything today. Choose three things that truly matter and allow the rest to wait. Step away from screens: Scrolling isn’t rest. Staring out a window, listening to one song or sitting in silence can give your brain the space it needs. Your body often gives you signals before you reach the point of exhaustion. Learn to recognize them instead of pushing through. Listen to your body: Pay attention to headaches, a tight chest, trouble sleeping, sudden fatigue or feeling wired but exhausted. These can be signs that your system is overloaded. Listen to your emotions: Irritability over small things, crying out of nowhere, feeling numb or anxiety that won’t shut off are signals worth noticing. If you’re snapping at people you love, that’s a red flag. Listen to your thinking: You can’t focus. You keep replaying the same worry. Every decision feels impossible. You find yourself catastrophizing or going blank. The effects may also show on your face: a sallow complexion, dark circles under your eyes, that unmistakably sleepy look and brain fog. How to pause well Name it: Say, “I’m overwhelmed and I need a break.” Saying it out loud gives you permission. Take 10 minutes, not 10 days: Go for a short walk, take a bathroom break or sit in your car in silence. Don’t fill it: No phone, no emails. Real pause means space. Breathe, pray, or just sit. Protect it: It’s okay to say “I’ll get back to you after I take 10.” Boundaries are not selfish. They are life-savers. Remember, pausing isn’t quitting. It’s maintenance. You can’t pour from an empty cup, and you can’t lead, love or work well when you’re running on fumes. Rest is an integral part of the work. Affirmation: “I will overcome.” Love and light.
