Even though the drop dead gorgeous star seems right at home in front of the camera, Kateadmits that she is still conscious of her body. "Ithink all women are similar; we all struggle with the same things when it comesto body image and wanting to be beautiful," she tells HFM. "I’m the same when I’m on the beachwith my friends or when there are paparazzi around, but being on a fashionshoot is like an acting job. I feel like I’m a different character, and thatcharacter doesn't get pangs of anxiety.”
And how does she maintain her girl-next-door looks? "Iwas a little tanorexic growing up in Florida, but I’m a lot smarternow," she jokes, before adding: "I love my dermatologist, Marjan Hafizi, who’sbased in Beverly Hills. I’m obsessed. I also see a facialist atAdvanced Skin Care Spa in New York City called Anna Antal. Sheintroduced me to a skincare brand called Osmosis, which is amazing."

The blonde bombshell also recalled what it was liketo begin traveling alone around the world after she began modeling as a teen.
"I started working abroad when I was 15 and my mom and dad would often come. The thing is with modelling... It just gets lonely. I pretty much had it under control because I travelled so much – land, go through customs, get in a taxi, go to the hotel, go to work… I had the whole thing down. But it’s not fun to hang out with yourself for days at a time. It can be a solitary profession."
