If the name Paloma Elsesser doesn’t ring a bell, her portraits from Glossier’s 2017 “Body Hero” campaign should. Eight years ago, the model’s nude image was plastered on a building on Spring Street in New York. “I did this to show that being fat isn’t a burden,” she wrote on Instagram. “Being fat isn’t ugly or shameful.” First spotted on the platform by the makeup artist Pat McGrath while still a student at the New School, Elsesser went on to become the first curve model to win the British Fashion Council’s Model of the Year award. She’s walked a Victoria’s Secret fashion show, racked up covers on British and American Vogue, and had a 30-second cameo in Uncut Gems with her friend, Julia Fox. Surprise, surprise, she has flawless skin and a flawless skin-care regimen, and says her feet are pretty spectacular, too. Elsesser, 33, shares her nighttime routine, complete with a mattress from Sunset Tower and cool, crisp sheets.
When do you start getting ready for bed?
Some people leave room for a two-hour wind-down, let the products marinate, that whole thing. That’s not my story. I don’t have stringent sleep hygiene.
