She said much of 2025 was “a year of joy”.
Highlights included wearing a £22.50 outfit at a reception hosted by King Charles and Queen Camilla for cancer charities and receiving a Yves Saint Laurent bag from Hollywood star Courteney Cox’s personal collection, after her campaign caught the attention of the Friends actor.
She could also see her grief was lighter and her confidence higher, but her father John’s death in the autumn, almost took her back to the beginning.
“If you go back to my late October pictures, it felt very similar to the beginning when I first started with the loss of my mum,” she said, “that sadness, you can’t fake it”.
“But in both years you can see how grief has a profound effect on you physically and how fashion is the arms around you.
“My most recent pictures have often been outfits with a powerful colour, a bright lip, and big earrings. That is armoury, giving me strength and confidence to get through the day.”
“Everybody said I should carry on and it is actually what my dad would have wanted, so that definitely drove me forward.”
