Monika: Would you say Elizabeth Taylor embodies the ideal of female beauty for you? What aspects of her style and persona resonate with you the most?
Jasmina: Yes, of course! She was very beautiful and very feminine. She loved makeup, big hair, dresses, furs, and jewelry. So she was a real diva, but I think she also had a natural side and was not afraid of looking not so good in a movie, for example, like in "Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?". Her ability to balance glamour with vulnerability is something I really admire.
Jasmina: My natural hair color is dark brown, like Elizabeth's, but I’ve always adored blonde women like Marilyn Monroe. Five years ago, I bleached my hair platinum blonde, and I loved it, but it was a lot of work, and my hair was breaking a lot and looked really unhealthy. Then I came to a point where I was thinking about how I could be blonde without bleaching my hair, and I decided to start wearing wigs like Beyoncé or Jennifer Lopez. These wigs are called full lace wigs, and they are made of human hair, so you can’t even tell it’s a wig. I dyed my natural hair dark brown and just let it grow and become healthy, and the good thing is I can change my hair color every day. It’s like having endless options to express different sides of myself. So I made some reviews about these wigs on my YouTube channel 3.
Monika: Do you think red lipstick and a red dress are the ultimate symbols of elegance for a lady?
Jasmina: Of course! There are a lot of options to be elegant, but I really love the red color. It has this timeless, bold energy that can never go wrong for a chic, confident look.
Monika: Do you enjoy wearing furs, or do you prefer alternatives?
Jasmina: Actually, yes, but only fake furs. I would never buy a real one, but if I were to inherit a real fur, I would keep it. I believe in supporting cruelty-free fashion, but I can still appreciate the elegance of a classic fur piece if it's given to me.
Monika: What are your favorite movies starring Elizabeth Taylor?
Jasmina: "Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?" and "Butterfield 8." Both films showcase her incredible range and depth as an actress.
