She recently shared a few of her fashion and beauty secrets in a new interview. Check out some highlights below and then watch the full video to find out what else she revealed:

On Red Carpet Style - “I always want to wear things that my kids will look back on and say,  ’Mom, that’s amazing! Why didn’t you keep that?!’ not like, ‘I can’t believe you wore that. You’re embarrassing me so much.”

On Her Amazing Hair - “I’m actually a pretty shy person by nature so it’s very much a safety net for me. I love to have my hair down and full, and I always like it to look really relaxed. Often times you see people on the red carpet with very structured hair and to me that just makes me feel very stiff and uncomfortable.”

On How She Gets Her Hair To Look Like That - “I’ll dry it to where it’s still a little bit wet and then put it in a ballerina bun and then when I take it down, it has a nice natural wave.”
