Also at the daytime event were Katie Holmes, Ashley Benson, Joey King and Kerry Washington.
This comes after she revealed that she had never had plastic surgery. In 2023, she told Vogue that going under the knife was out of the question.
“I’ve always been consistent with my thoughts on this, and I think because I’ve said it so many times, I still believe it,” he said.
“But those are my values too.”

In April she was seen on the cover of Harper’s Bazaar magazine.
Speaking about her approach to modelling today, Christy said: “I can work one day here and one day there. But then two days, I’m like, ‘Too much. It’s too much.'”

“I feel lucky to have the option (to be a model). It’s still my livelihood.”
Having risen to fame as one of the “original supermodels” of the Nineties, she detailed the contrast of walking shows (for fashion giants such as Chanel, Versace and Valentino) during her heyday with figures such as Naomi Campbell and Claudia Schiffer.
She commented: “The shows always felt a bit chaotic. I think we as models have some of that energy and tension, and in a lot of those spaces there’s no peace.”

Elsewhere in the interview, Christy revealed that a nude photo taken during her heyday was circulated among her 18-year-old son’s high school classmates when she attended one of his basketball games.
She heartbreakingly confessed that “all I wanted to do was disappear” when she found out the opposing team had bullied her son, Finn Burns, by passing around his nude photo from an old photo shoot.
She said: “I was surprised it hadn’t happened before, but at the same time I thought, ‘This is so rude!'”
The catwalk legend recounted the incident during her recent photo shoot for the cover of Harper’s Bazaarwhat brand His 14th collaboration with the magazine.
She said the school was later caught up in the scandal, adding: “I don’t feel ashamed of anything. Regretting things is a waste of time.”

In the recent interview, the supermodel shared that it was her son who suggested she turn off comments on her Instagram posts.
“I don’t have my comments. My daughter told me to do it a couple of years ago. I’m very glad I don’t have to see them,” she said.
“I can’t say I’m Teflon. I’m sure if I read something hurtful or cruel, it would hurt me just as much. But I also try not to pay too much attention to any of that.”
She admitted that she is a “shy person,” as she said, referring to her photo shoots: “I like a quiet environment. If I hear dance music or techno, I want to run away.”
“Because I’m a quiet person and I study people, I think I learned not to stand out. My mom never told me, ‘Oh, this is how you’re going to protect yourself.’ I think I just paid a lot of attention, honestly,” she added.
