Femininity and fragrance: Angelina Kendall on being the face of narciso rodriguez' latest scent
There's a magnetic quality to Angelina Kendall. At just 19 years old, the model has already graced international runways and magazine covers, bringing a natural blend of confidence and elegance to every project she undertakes. Now, as the muse for narciso rodriguez for her eau de parfum intense, she steps into a role that feels tailor-made for her: a celebration of femininity in its most authentic, modern and empowering form.
Kendall's journey into the spotlight was serendipitous. She was scouted during the pandemic, quickly making her mark in the fashion world. Her background – she was born in Australia but has also lived in Brazil – has shaped her into someone who radiates warmth, ambition and an appreciation for life's simple pleasures.
This mix of depth and natural beauty caught the attention of designer Narciso Rodriguez, who describes Kendall as 'a rare, flawless and timeless kind of beauty'. The model embodies the essence of the 'for her' woman – ambitious, daring and in tune with herself. This new launch is brought to life through a bold, emotionally charged film, captured by legendary photographer Mario Sorrenti, in which we hear the muse's voice, adding intimacy and authenticity. In a dreamlike sequence, Kendall explores the layers of her personality and femininity in ways never seen before in the fragrance house's universe.
The launch of for her eau de parfum intense marks a bold new chapter in the collection. Created by master perfumer Sonia Constant, it reinvents the signature heart of musk, amplifying its intensity with layers of peach, Calabrian bergamot, white florals and red spider lily. At its base, warm amber, vanilla and moss create a lasting impression of sensuality and strength.
As Kendall reflects on her role as the new for her muse, she says it is more than just a campaign, it's an opportunity to celebrate authenticity, confidence and the beauty of being unapologetically oneself.
I spent most of my life in Sydney, but also spent two years in regional Australia and one in Rio, Brazil, where my mum is from. I think this change in environment throughout my childhood forced me to be outgoing and confident around new people. One of my most notable attributes is that I love a chat – I'm always up for one!
To me, femininity means harnessing your most authentic self. It's about living life without apology and embracing all parts of yourself, even your imperfections. Femininity used to equate to being soft or submissive, but now it has evolved to be about celebrating the best attributes of yourself.
When I received the confirmation, I honestly couldn't believe it. I was so excited to see what the house had planned for the next chapter of the iconic for her fragrance. Once I was on set, it sunk in how special this project really was. To be the muse of this scent and to portray this woman who is so empowered by her femininity really allows me to connect to my inner self. It's truly so exciting to be involved in such a celebration of female empowerment.
I've always stripped myself down to quite an authentic way of living. I think it's the best way to truly enjoy experiences and the relationships you make with others. In saying that, like everyone, I have some things I prefer to keep to myself. To me, this authenticity means being vulnerable enough to seek those who truly want to be around you – for you, and nothing else. It's a scary thing to be so raw with others, but I try to apply it to my daily life by asking myself whether I'm doing things for my own validation or for that of others.
It plays a vital role. It's almost like a second skin, something that people associate with your presence. It's important to find a scent that you feel captures your personality and essence, or helps you to be more authentically yourself.
To me, self-care is about honouring both your physical and mental needs. It's about getting outdoors or pampering yourself with a relaxing spa day, as much as recharging your social battery and reconnecting with your loved ones.
Everyone finds happiness in different things, so I'd recommend doing things that give you a sense of purpose and make you excited. I maximise my happiness by meeting and connecting with people, moving my body and working towards goals. I find the most happiness and motivation in self-improvement. Without purpose, it's easy to become bored and lazy, losing this sense of fulfilment.

Kendall Jenner wears super strappy tiny espresso V-back bikini
It's that time again: Everyone Has a Pool Except You O'Clock, where celebrities truly will not stop making us jealous with their summer aesthetics. Enter Kendall Jenner, who just dropped a series of bikini pics on what looks to be a gorgeous holiday. And while what I really want is this view, I'll settle for her bikini, which is conveniently still available to shop online! According to fan accounts, Kendall's wearing the Tropic of C universo bralette and luna bottom in espresso. Need/want. This is hardly Kenny's debut bikini post this year. She kicked off the Gram's swimwear content all the way back in March when she ditched her top to pose in just a pair of teeny tiny thong bikini bottoms. Check out the pics here. She also gave an insight into her and Kylie's family vacay last month: And shared this gorge black and white shot of herself, yet again perched on a sun lounger: Indeed, the supermodel is no stranger to a micro bikini, regularly taking to Instagram to showcase her teeny tiny 'kini collection. Be it a butter yellow thongkini: A classic string triangle style in a bright red hue to coordinate with her cap. Sun safety is important after all, kids! Or channelling the dolce vita (even though she was actually in Mallorca...) in a chic AF headscarf: We're definitely not jealous that we're not sat on a beach right now. Though maybe this weekend's heat wave will finally allow us to pull on our own bikinis, if only to wear to the local park.

This Miami area mall was just voted best in the country. Here's why it's No. 1
Aventura Mall fans already know it's the best mall in the United States. Now the sprawling shopping center has national recognition, too. The Northeast Miami-Dade mall, a city unto itself with plenty of offerings and surrounding traffic jams, plays big. There's a big slide, an Apple Store, an Italian food hall and market. Now it also has a big ranking: Best Mall in America, as voted in the new USA Today 10 Best Readers' Choice Awards. 'Being named the best mall in the USA Today 10 Best Readers' Choice Awards reflects our continued commitment to curating exceptional experiences,' said Jackie Soffer, chairman and CEO of Turnberry, the majority owner of Aventura Mall. 'From welcoming Florida's first Eataly to bringing the most coveted fashion and lifestyle brands, and supporting culture through our museum-quality art collection, we're proud to offer a premier destination that continues to evolve. We thank our loyal guests for their continued support and for making this achievement possible,' Soffer said in a statement to the Miami Herald. Eataly isn't the only first-in-Florida to open at sprawling Aventura Mall. Other brands trying Florida firsts in the last year include recent arrivals like Massimo Dutti wardrobe store, the fashion boutique Cinq à Sept, Dolce Vita footwear and Kim Kardashian's Skims store. MORE: How 'Florida firsts' are defining Aventura Mall. Here are some of the newcomers Twenty malls across the country were nominated for consideration by a panel of 'USA Today experts' in the fields of travel and lifestyle, according to the publication. The public was then given a chance to vote among the nominees. The only other Florida mall to contend was the Mall at Millenia in Orlando but it fell short of the Top 10. Sorry Dadeland, Aventura's also ever-growing Kendall-area rival that recently opened the first Dick's House of Sport in South Florida. MORE: Why is Aventura Mall both loved and loathed? It comes down to more than shopping Top 10 best U.S. malls So why is Aventura ranked above the others. 'As the largest mall in the state of Florida, Aventura Mall has more than 300 retail shops, experiences, and dining options, and boasts a museum-worthy art collection,' opines the USA Today 10 Best editors. Here are the 10 best malls in the nation, according to USA Today's Readers' Choice Awards. ▪ 1. Aventura Mall, Florida. ▪ 2. Mall of America, Bloomington, Minnesota. ▪ 3. Galleria Dallas, Texas. ▪ 4. The Shops & Restaurants at Hudson Yards, New York City. ▪ 5. King of Prussia Mall, Pennsylvania. ▪ 6. Scottsdale Fashion Square, Arizona. ▪ 7. American Dream, East Rutherford, New Jersey. ▪ 8. Grapevine Mills, Texas. ▪ 9. Tysons Corner Center, Virginia. ▪ 10. Brookfield Place, New York City.
