The cover of the INFLUENCER edition of Hooks Magazine features Char Paula, one of the most relevant digital influencers of the moment. With a career built on her passion for fashion and authenticity in everything she does, Char proves that style is much more than following trends, it's about personal expression and confidence.
From an early age, fashion has been a significant part of Char's life. Her interest in fashion shows and creative wardrobe combinations as a child eventually led her to share her unique style vision on social media. Today, she is recognized for her impeccable taste and for inspiring others to discover and embrace their own style.
Char describes her look as a blend of sophistication and modernity, always with a bold touch that adds personality to her outfits. Structured pieces like blazers are among her favorites, as well as statement accessories like bags or shoes that transform any ensemble into something unique. Brands like Celine, with its elegant minimalism, and Gucci, with its creative approach, are significant inspirations for her.
For Char, fashion is a form of self-expression. Every choice, from colors to textures, reflects emotions and identity, and she values this personal connection with what she wears. Her favorite trend at the moment is oversized pieces and the quiet luxury aesthetic, which prioritizes understated sophistication. On the other hand, decorated Crocs, for example, don’t align with her style, which leans more toward the classic and elegant.
Char also believes that the secret to dressing well lies in knowing yourself and investing in pieces that align with your personality. For her, confidence is the most important element of any look, and that’s what she strives to convey to her followers.
Check out an exclusive interview with Char Paula:
1. What sparked your passion for fashion, and how has it influenced your journey as an influencer?
I’ve always been fascinated by how clothes can transform not only our appearance but also our confidence. My passion started in childhood, watching fashion shows and exploring creative combinations in my wardrobe. This natural connection with fashion led me to share my style and inspirations on social media, which eventually became my career as an influencer.
2. How do you define your personal style, and what elements do you consider essential in your looks?
My style is a fusion of sophistication and modernity, with a bold touch. I love structured pieces like blazers, but I also value comfort. Statement accessories, such as iconic bags or stylish shoes, are essential to adding personality to my looks.
3. Who are your biggest inspirations in the fashion world, whether in brands, designers, or personalities?
I have many inspirations! I love the elegant minimalism of brands like Celine and the bold touch of Gucci. As for personalities, I’m a fan of Zendaya and Blake Lively, who always know how to blend sophistication with creativity in a unique way.
4. How do you see the relationship between fashion and personal expression? Do you believe clothing can tell stories about who we are?
Absolutely! Fashion is an extension of our personality and a form of visual communication. Every choice, from colors to textures, says something about how we feel and who we are. I find it magical to tell a story without saying a word, just through a look.
5. What current trend do you love the most, and which one do you think doesn’t suit your style?
I’m in love with oversized pieces and the quiet luxury aesthetic, which brings a sophisticated and understated vibe. On the other hand, the trend of decorated Crocs doesn’t suit me. I prefer something more aligned with my classic style.
6. What advice would you give to someone who wants to develop their own style and feel more confident in how they dress?
I’d say to get to know yourself well and take inspiration, but never try to copy. Explore what works for your body and personality, and invest in quality key pieces that reflect who you are. Confidence is the best accessory anyone can wear!
