1. She’s Confident

Scott is all about self-confidence. She opened up about her secrets to Teen Vogue. “I think I just like to trust myself more. I no longer feel like I have to look a certain way or be a certain way, especially in comparison to my white peers and what they are doing. I’m now trying to feel more comfortable and confident with my body and with who I am. That includes wearing what feels good on the day. If that is sweats, then I’ll wear sweats. If that's a low body con dress, then that's what I’ll wear.”

2. She Doesn’t Wear Too Much Makeup

Scott is all about being natural. She tells Teen Vogue that she doesn’t wear a lot of makeup. “My go-to makeup routine normally is no makeup. Honestly, I’d love [not] wearing anything and just letting my dark spots do whatever and just walk out the door. But, if I’m going to do makeup, I use Fenty Beauty's foundation, a quick lip color that doubles as my blush, and some mascara.”

3. She Believes In Diversity

Scott is an advocate for diversity. Especially when it comes to TV. “I hope that people are beginning to show up and, instead of checking boxes that they are inherently beginning to put that into the work so that it doesn’t come off forced or contrived,” she tells Grazia. “The norm becomes inclusive and equitable and diverse. Mindy seems to be very good at that in her canon of work. She often includes something we don’t see that often, which is young black and brown girls not being hyper-sexualized but just being sexual and having the experiences that we see young white women having all the time—but just to see it in a different way—and to see disabled people having the same experience, just seeing different bodies and different types of people. And it’s done not necessarily to check boxes but just to represent people. I hope that that’s what the work continues to be.”

4. She Reassures Herself

Scott tells Grazia that she struggled with self-doubts when it comes to her career. She says that she made sure to reassure herself. “I dealt with a lot of imposter syndrome on this show—as me and also as Whitney,” she says. “Whitney definitely experiences it as well. But as Alyah entering the space and walking onto the Warner Bros. lot and all these doors opening I kept thinking: Why me? Why am I here? What’s going on? And I think aspects of that are real and true, but also I think a lot of it is about my past trauma of realizing my body subconsciously knows that there are systems in place that desire to keep me out of these spaces so that when I step into these spaces I’m now questioning myself because of all these systems. That’s trauma I didn’t ask for but I inherently have. And it was definitely work every single day on the set to say to myself, ‘Put that out of your mind because it’s not real. You’re here because you’re supposed to be here.’”

5. She Takes Care Of Her Acne

Scott makes sure to take care of her skin. She tells Byrdie that fighting acne is important to her. “​​The SkinCeuticals Triple Lipid Restore moisturizer is my everything. I've had cystic acne since I was about 12-years-old, and this product always helps restore my moisture barrier when I'm using any harsher or drying products for my acne.”

Yasmin was born a boy and raised Catholic alongside her half-sister by a Jamaican mother she lived in poverty and was the target of bullies. “Being a Black trans woman, I’ve been forced to grow up early,” she told Vogue UK.

2. She Embraces Her Uniqueness

Yasmin wrote a “note to younger self” in an Instagram post. “Blooming into my own, one step at a time. From a shy 13 year old who doubted herself… to a confident individual who wears pink proudly and fearlessly. Believe in yourself, embrace your uniqueness, and let your journey unfold. Who knows, you might even end up on another cover of Vogue.”

3. She Wants to Be a Bond Girl

"I would love to be a trans Bond girl or just a Bond girl in general. I love James Bond," she told The Mirror. "Every time I watch a Bond film, I think I would love to be that cool, sexy Bond girl that has never been done before."

4. She Is Confident

“We all try things out, we all try and navigate ourselves and what we like to wear,” Yasmin said, discussing her character with Elle. “I think confidence is from within, and I think you can really see that she’s got all of that confidence within her now. I’m a very confident person as Yasmin.”

5. She Swims

Yasmin loves swimming, a good way to get regular aerobic physical activity, according to the CDC. Just two and a half hours per week of aerobic physical activity, such as swimming, bicycling, or running, can decrease the risk of chronic illnesses. In addition to the many physical benefits, there are multiple studies supporting the mental health benefits of swimming as well.

Read on to see 5 ways Nesrin Cavadzade stays in shape and the photos that prove they work—and to get beach-ready yourself, don't miss these essential 30 Best-Ever Celebrity Bathing Suit Photos!

1. She Works Hard

Cavadzade opened up about her life and career in an interview with Women’s Fitness. She says that working out and working hard are things that are important to her. Cavadzade says that this also sets her apart. “I think I am one of the fittest women of my generation. This is actually an extension of my hardworking production.”

2. She Wants To Empower Women

Cavadzade was asked about her image in her Women’s Fitness interview. She says that she wants to use it as a way of empowering others. “I love this image. Because this is the dress I prefer to wear, the jacket! But it's completely 'Is this really your prose?' If you say no, it's not. Because I just like this image. Thanks to this image, I both give myself strength, overcome my fears, and also think that I empower women. As long as they don't misunderstand me and they're not angry.”

3. She’s Comfortable With Herself

Cavadzade is all about having self-confidence. In her Women’s Fitness interview, she was asked if she ever got self-conscious. She answered “no”, and encouraged others to develop the same attitude. “It never happens! As women, we are so cornered about being attractive. Almost every moment of us is self-censorship. That's why for me, a woman who has not been forced to hide her charm, is a stance to be proud of."

4. She Gets Some Sun

Sunshine is a great source of vitamin D. "You can get vitamin D in a variety of ways, including:

• Sun exposure on your skin (however, people with darker skin and older people may not get enough vitamin D through sunlight. Your geographical location may also prevent adequate vitamin D exposure through sunlight).
• Through the food you eat.
• Through nutritional supplements," says the Cleveland Clinic.

5. She Remains Chill

"I embrace more of who I am now. I am peaceful, happy and calm," she told Hello. "Once you've learned which situations affect your self-esteem, notice your thoughts about them. This includes what you tell yourself (self-talk) and how you view the situations," says the Mayo Clinic. "Your thoughts and beliefs might be positive, negative or neutral. They might be rational, based on reason or facts. Or they may be irrational, based on false ideas."

Emilia Mernes has become one of the most popular Latin singers in the past few years. She has also acquired a strong following on Instagram. Mernes recently posted a stunning new set of photos. In it, she posed in a green swimsuit top with jeweled straps and a pink skirt, as well as a sheer pink top, swimsuit top, and denim skirt.

Read on to see 5 ways Emilia Mernes stays in shape and the photos that prove they work—and to get beach-ready yourself, don't miss these essential 30 Best-Ever Celebrity Bathing Suit Photos!

1. She Swims

Mernes spends a lot of time outside. One thing she likes to do is go to the beach and go swimming. She shares a lot of posts on Instagram of herself by the water. In this set of photos she posted, Mernes is seen on a boat and on a paddleboard. She captioned the post, “Made in Argentina.”

2. She’s Active

Mernes opened up about her wellness routine in an interview. She says that she lives a pretty active life. “If I am skinnier it is because I am a thousand. But like everything, I eat well. The people around me know that I eat, it's not that I'm skinny, it's because I'm active, I dance a lot, I rehearse a lot, I'm doing things every day and I don't train, I should. Now I'm going to start swimming, but well the thing is that I never have a day off.”

3. She Speaks Out About Beauty Standards

In the same interview, Mernes opened up about her past insecurities and spoke out about unfair beauty standards. “I didn't wear muscle or short sleeves because I said 'I have fatter arms' and people are going to judge me for that. I mean, imagine how my head was, really bad. And well, I had a really bad time at that moment and then I understood that it is not like that and that nothing is wrong. But you know what happens? It's that people put me in that place of the Argentine woman, that you have to fulfill a stereotype, that you have to wear these clothes, that you have to say or do this. And she broke my head that she felt that she had to comply with things that society imposes on her that are stupid.”

4. She Admires Mega-Powerful Women

She grew up admiring Thalia, Rihanna and Beyoncé. “I would watch them on TV and I couldn’t believe it. I’d say: ‘I hope one day I can see myself like them!’ Because whenever I listened to them, they instilled a message of power and confidence in me,” she told Billboard.

5. She Benefits From Sun Exposure

"One of the best (and easiest) ways to get vitamin D is by being outside. Our bodies produce vitamin D when exposed to sunlight—about 15 minutes in the sun a day is adequate if you’re fair skinned. And since Vitamin D helps your body maintain calcium and prevents brittle, thin, or misshapen bones, soaking in sun may be just what the doctor ordered," says Select Health.

2. She’s Comfortable With Her Body

Hayek is all about body-positivity, and wearing what she wants. In an interview with Glamour, she recalled a conversation with her daughter about a revealing red-carpet look she wanted to wear. “‘But honey, you see the belly,” Hayek said. “‘You see that I have a belly. And I don’t want to be sucking it in.’ And then I said, ‘You know what? Screw that. I’m 56, everything else looks good.’”

3. She Speaks Out Against Sexism

In an interview with Vogue, Hayek talked about the sexism she’s faced in Hollywood. She makes sure to speak out against these standards. "Why should we let them give us an expiration date? I think there is a lot of sexism when it comes to age. They give us a lot of deadlines that they don't have, such as [the idea that] after a certain age, you lose your beauty or nobody will want to marry you. It's incredibly unfair. I wanted to make this character, who is strong, fierce, beautiful, sexy and ready for adventure because women my age, in their mid-fifties, can still be that."

4. She Swims

Hayek loves to swim to stay in shape. She shares a bunch of posts on Instagram of herself in the water. Hayek shared these photos and one video of herself taking a swim in the ocean at sunset. She captioned the post, “Every time I need to feel renewed, I jump into the ocean.” Hayek also posted this photo of herself swimming by rock formations, captioning it, “Today is #nationalwaterday but let’s not forget any day how precious water is.”

5. She’s Present

In an interview with Marie Claire, Hayak revealed some of her secrets for building confidence. “It’s about being in the present and being alive. When you’re present you forget certain things; I’m not thinking about how old I am when I wake up. I don’t even look in the mirror. Though, sometimes when I do look in the mirror I go, ‘Oh Jesus’, or I’ll think ‘How come I’m always tired?’ and I’ll remember, ‘Ah, I’m older now’. When it dawns on me, I make the effort to connect with life again. I’m just amazed that at my age I’m still working and having the best moment of my career. At this point I’m just grateful.”
