She continued when asked if she always looks so flawless: "I did not wake up like this. But I do love what I look like when I do wake up in the morning," she said. "I have that balance to know that I'm comfortable in my skin the way God made me and then I'm also comfortable getting did and having fun and playing dress-up and knowing that those two are different and being comfortable in both. It's very exciting. But also, we create body image. We're the ones who create. We decide. Just like we decide trends, just like we decide everything in this world."
