Drop-dead gorgeous model and social media influencer Kara Del Toro isn’t just one of the hottest Instagram sirens to grace the internet since the dawn of the Insta-model—she’s also a full-fledged goddess with her glossy honey-brown hued locks, pouty bee-stung lips, and jaw-dropping curves that make you thank God for creating women. An L.A.based Texas native, the bodacious bombshell is signed with Pretty x Elite and has starred in multiple campaigns for names like Guess and Beach Bunny Swimwear. But above all, she makes heads spin with her sizzling Instagram feed @karajewelll, where she showcases her insane physique to her devoted following of 1.2 million and counting. Here, the rising star tells Maxim about her early start in the modeling industry, the life of a social media influencer, when she feels sexiest, and what’s next for the ambitious beauty.
How did you become a model?
I went to a local modeling school when I was 13. I know most of them turn out to be scams, but they sent me to the agency and I started working. I did campaigns with Guess and Beach Bunny Swimwear and my social media grew a ton. Real modeling is dying and it’s all about social media, and it’s cool because it gives you so much more control.
What’s a typical day like for you?
I don’t really have a typical day. Right now my career is 50% modeling and 50% social media. I live in Los Angeles but travel at least once a month for work, so when I’m not shooting for a campaign I’m out creating content for social media. I love it.
What’s on your playlist these days?
My playlist is so eclectic. I hate having to play it in front of anyone because one minute it will be ’90s hip-hop, the next it’s EDM and then Chopin. I do love ’90s hip-hop though. I never get tired of Snoop Dogg and Biggie.
