Unfortunately, there's no roadmap to self-love, no Complete Guide to Barbie Ferreira's Special Brand of Confidence — although, could you imagine the impact!? — but there is a good rule of thumb that help can help you manifest your own: keeping that message of positivity close to you at all times.
"Surround yourself with positivity, create a space of safety and acceptance, and own your light."
"Make sure that you are surrounding yourself with people who you can relate to," she said. "Not on Instagram or in ads or whatever it is that makes you feel bad about yourself. If you're following someone on social media that makes you feel bad about yourself, unfollow them. Be sure that the things around you make you feel good, surround yourself with positivity, create a space of safety and acceptance, and own your light in that way. That's a big step."
At the end of the day, Ferreira says, it's not what you wear — it's how you wear it. "I play with my looks a lot, and whatever I'm feeling that day I'm serving. So whether it be a really outrageous outfit or putting on some fun eyeliner that makes me feel really cool, that's what makes me feel alive in a way. It's about finding what you want that day and embracing it — and feeling yourself in whatever mood you're in."
