Among the honored guests was an icon of Czech modeling and philanthropy Tereza Maxová. For her, the Beauty Ball is synonymous with the transformation of external shine into an internal power to help. The model also spoke to Koktejl.sk with musician Teri Čikoš.
How has her view of beauty changed from the beginning of her career to today? “Well, look at beauty. I think that beauty has several forms. And actually, when a person was young and modeled in the 90s, it had the 90-60-90 rules and he had to be 179, 175 or taller. I don’t think so. That beauty is really not about those measurements, but about self-confidence, about feeling good about yourself. And I think that actually today, when a person is more mature, a when I see my mother, who can age gracefully, I see great beauty in that, and actually people look at it differently” said a well-known Czech woman.
