She has become a catwalk model, the face of an international beauty brand and a TV presenter, but Olympic champion Jess Fox has made the astonishing admission that she once hated her looks.
Fox enjoyed a triumphant campaign at the Paris Games, carrying the Australian flag during the opening ceremony before claiming historic gold medals in the K1 and C1 events.
Since Paris, Fox has participated in glamor magazine photo shoots, including the cover of Stellar magazine, where she confidently showed off her athletic figure in stylish outfits.

The excitement boiled over when her sister Noemie also took gold, with Jessica jumping into the water to celebrate with her.
Additionally, Fox will make her fashion show debut walking in L’Oréal Paris’ Walk Your Worth Runway event. This runway event will take place against the backdrop of Sydney Harbor on Thursday.
He also had the opportunity to present sports news on Channel Nine’s Today programme.
It’s an attention that Fox is still having a hard time adjusting to.
In an interview with channel nine She admitted that there was a part of herself that she used to hate, even though she now works with one of the biggest beauty companies in the world.
“I grew up hating my curls,” Jess said.
‘It was straight, loose hair, so I had to work hard to embrace my curls. I know a lot of people do.’
Now, Fox has embraced herself when she’s an emotional, makeup-free Olympian, or when she’s a runway model.
In fact, she now says the emotional images of her with tears streaming down her face, hair disheveled and Olympic gold around her neck show her in the most beautiful shape she has ever been.
“Seeing pictures from the Olympics and looking like a crying mess… I probably would have thought in the past, ‘Oh my God, that’s embarrassing,'” she said.
‘But actually, that’s really beautiful. I had no makeup on, but I could see the joy shining in my smile.
I guess I’ve felt most beautiful when I’m myself.
Fox poses for a magazine cover shoot, later revealing that duct tape was required to hold the dress together because her broad shoulders did not fit comfortably into the outfit.
Fox has appeared on multiple magazine covers, linked up with French beauty brand L’Oréal and has appeared on many television shows including NRL and Logies coverage (pictured).
Fox and her sister Noemie have come a long way from their early days growing up in western Sydney as complete strangers.
Now they are both Olympic champions and Jess jumps into the water to celebrate her sister’s success in a lasting image from the Paris Games.
This has made them household names and Jess admitted she is still struggling to come to terms with that.
“I feel like I have my face everywhere right now, which has been crazy,” he said.
Not everything has been easy. In a recent fashion photo shoot, she revealed that duct tape was needed to fit into glamorous dresses because her shoulders were too wide for it.
And he admitted to having doubts about his debut at L’Oréal.
“I’m a little nervous about it, especially walking in heels. I’m still not sure what heels I’m wearing, but I hope they’re not like 12-inch stilettos,” she said.
‘I have many factors for me. Yes, I’m the athlete, I’m fierce and I’m focused on the water, but I can also feel feminine and glamorous and step into this different side of me that not many people have seen.’
