An unmistakable glow radiates from the Brazilian model Caroline Trentini, whom we spotted backstage today at Michael Kors Collection. Sure, you might ascribe it to the desert-inspired bronzer dusted onto her cheeks by makeup artist Dick Page, or her corn-silk highlights courtesy of colorist Christopher-John, or the five days she and her husband recently spent on the secluded island of Fernando de Noronha. But that inside-and-out beauty speaks to a larger course she’s set for herself. “I was never the crazy, partying, smoking kind of girl,” she said, gesturing toward the bottle of Juice Press in her hand. “I’m glad it’s a trend, where people are getting healthy and working out and Snapchatting about it.”
As a mother of a 2-year-old son (“Look! He’s so cute,” she said, flashing a photo of a cherubic redhead on her iPhone), she puts a lot of thought into what she cooks at home—though she isn’t above the occasional indulgence. “I’m from the south of Brazil, so I eat meat. Once a week I like a good steak!” It’s fuel for the fire: After a period where she approached exercise like speed dating—“a little this, a little Pilates, a little that”—she has since become a fitness monogamist. “I try to work out three times a week with my trainer in Brazil, and we do a functional fight. It’s a mix between kickboxing and boxing—things that work for your body,” she explained of the intense, one-on-one sparring sessions. “After I had the baby, I fell in love with the workout. I don’t use weights; I don’t run. Just that.” There’s common sense wisdom in her thinking; after all, the best workout is the one that holds your interest, that you actually do. And as evidenced by her Kors look today—a floor-sweeping black shirtdress with peekaboo lace panels showing off her sculpted collarbones and thighs—the hard work is well worth it.
