The 41-year-old had an exciting time shooting for Lacoste. She said, “So today was like a real fashion shoot in the sense that the photographer really told me like what to do and he’s like, oh beautiful snap. Okay, move your hips now, shrug a little bit now, hand in pocket, eyes to me. So a lot of the shoots can be just like, you’re moving and other shoots can obviously be like tennis do a lot of those but this one was real fashion in the sense that the photographer knew exactly what he wanted and it was cool to just trust him on that and just do what he told me and it turned out like, wow.”
