Feature Highlight + Interview: Victoria Herran
Hi Victoria!! How are you? Please tell us a bit about yourself:
Hi GR8T Magazine! I’m doing super well, thank you! How are you? My name is Victoria Herran, I am freshly 23 years old. I recently graduated from the University of Miami business school, with my Masters of International Business. I was born and raised in Miami Florida and am bilingual, speaking Spanish and English. One of my favorite pastimes is going to the barn and riding my horses.
What is something about you that people don't know about?
I know how to drive a stick shift! Cool, I know…
What is a social cause you are passionate about?
I love helping animals in need because they don’t have a voice to protect themselves.
How would you describe your style?
I think I have a more timeless approach to fashion, but with a fun/modern/bold/colorful twist.
What is your go-to outfit for everyday life?
I have two: the first one would be a good sweat set with cool colorful sneakers and my second one would be a denim skirt, with a tee, and flats.

You're based in Miami, what do you like most about the city?
As cliché as it sounds, what I love about this city is that I live where people vacation. It is a place where finding a balance between work and play is seamless. I love how there are many different areas all over Miami with so many unique things to do and experience.
We're currently in the middle of Hispanic Heritage. What does this mean to you?
Celebrating Hispanic Heritage month makes me realize how incredibly blessed and proud I am to be Hispanic. My grandparents came to the US to give our family a better life and made so many sacrifices along the way. This month is a humble reminder of my culture, its influence, and how it has impacted my success.
Do you support any social cause/ charity? If so, which one?
Yes, I am philanthropically involved with Baptist Health. I am a Baptist Health Founder. I volunteer and donate to various animal rescue organizations, too.
Who's your fashion reference?
My mom! Her style really inspires me. She’s classy and effortless! Everything I aspire to be 😊
What was the first bag you ever got?
The Louis Vuitton Monogram Multicolor Mini Sac HL Speedy in White which I still own, love, and use!
What is your style advice?
Dress for yourself, your opinion is what matters the most and enjoy the process.
We just wrapped up the last fashion week of the year. What was it like being in NY and attending all the events?
It was an amazing experience that I’m so grateful to all who made it possible for me to attend! I had so much fun, learned a lot about the industry, and got to meet so many inspiring individuals during NYFW. I loved every second of it!
What are you working on right now? What is in the card for you over the next few months?
The end of the year is always a busy time for me with work and personal life. Spending much needed time with my family and celebrating the holidays together. Then looking forward to the new year and new opportunities that we are working on! Currently, I’m thinking about some fun holiday content ideas like gift guides, etc.
What is your beauty routine?
My beauty routine starts with always having my nails done, going to the gym to feel beautiful inside and out, and getting facials done periodically! I always put on moisturizer before leaving the house (Aquaphor body spray is my current favorite), washing my face every night before I go to sleep and every morning when I wake up (I’m loyal to Caudalie), always wearing sunscreen (I like the EltaMD UV Clear Tinted Broad-Spectrum SPF 46), putting on Vaseline every night before bed, and finding time to relax and destress.
And lastly, what is your go-to beauty brand and why?
I would say Caudalie is one of the many I love. Their products work for my skin, and I enjoy the brand’s clean ingredients — they never make my face break out! And an honorable mention to Vaseline because it’s just the best. GR8T
