"To me being sexy is about confidence and feeling comfortable in your own skin. I've always tried to stay true to myself throughout my unconventional path and now I'm so proud to be following so many amazing women who carried the title in years before me.
"Thank you again MAXIM for this moment and to Gilles Bensimon for these beautiful pictures. Now let's party in Miami."
