TRIVIA

- She appeared in the 1999 Pirelli Calendar.
- She appeared in the music video 'Love To See You Cry' (2002) by Spanish singer Enrique Iglesias.
- She appeared in the 2000, 2001, 2002, 2004 and 2006 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Editions.
- She hosted the first three cycles of Mexico's Next Top Model (2009-2012).
