Alessandra Garcia-Lorido
Age: 28
Alessandra Garcia-Lorido, the daughter of actor Andy Garcia, said she did not attract as much attention as other children from the rich and famous, as she was 'chunky'
Where you know her from: She is the daughter of actor Andy Garcia, and starred in several movies, including Mamma Mia: Here We Go Again.
She walked for Dolce and Gabbana, posed for Emily Ratajkowski’s line Inamorata, and participated in the Gap denim campaign for fall 2019.
Alessandra explained she felt she had been treated differently to the other offspring of the rich and famous in her teenage years,' namely that she was not getting as much media attention.
'I felt like I was never allowed to be in those spaces because they weren't even thinking about it; they were never looking at the ‘chunky’ daughter of a celebrity ever.
Having now walked for Dolce & Gabbana and posed for fellow model Emily Ratajkowski’s line Inamorata, the model feels that if publication are giving diverse models the cold shoulder, they are doing a disservice.
'I'm a size 12,' Alessandra added. 'I don't represent girls that are size 22. I don't know what that feels like, and I shouldn't be speaking for them. I shouldn't be representing them. I can represent myself; if they relate, if they are inspired by me, then great.'
