Beauty Inspiration
Paris took an interest in modeling at 12 years old. She said was inspired by her mother. “I was a tomboy wanting to play basketball and she put me in modeling school,” Paris said. “The minute I saw Naomi Campbell and Tyra Banks, I knew what my destiny was.”
She still keeps her tomboy vibes going and describes herself as a “Glam Tomboy” until it’s time to hit the red carpet then it’s “lights, camera, action.”
Brand Ambassador
Her more than 73,000 Instagram followers are treated to stunning photos of her and the brands she represents.
