The first things you notice upon meeting Lydia Hearst are her striking looks and her lithe figure. At 5 feet 7 inches, she is short by model standards, but you wouldn't know that the way her porcelain skin and alluring eyes command attention in front of the camera.

Her graceful demeanor is another one of her noted characteristics. After spending about five hours taking a delay-ridden trip from her West Hollywood apartment to Catalina Island for the LUXETIGERS photo shoot, Hearst emerges smiling from the ferryboat. Dressed in a boyfriend shirt, shiny leggings, sunglasses, and ballet flats, she calmly walks up a private ramp designated for her personal use while the rest of the passengers gaze in amusement.
