Carol began her career as a model. In 1998, she participated in a beauty pageant and won the title of “Best Look of the Year” in the competition. In an interview, talking about the pageant, she said:
I entered a beauty contest called Look of the Year just to become financially independent. My dad told me that if you make your own money, you can go out and live your life on your own terms, so that’s exactly what I plan to do. After winning, I went to Nice and Milan and then came back to India to work. My career path was not planned, but its success was a combination of luck and hard work. “

I’d been doing his show for years, so this time he called like usual and asked if he could book me. I told him I was pregnant and he still asked me if I wanted to walk in the show. So, I thought about it and realized that the clothes I was going to show were for every type of woman… I figured if the designer liked me to be in his show, then why not? I really enjoyed this experience. “

Carole Gracias’ Instagram posts
- In an interview, she shared her daily skincare routine. She said,
My skincare routine is pretty basic – I use lots of virgin coconut oil and aloe vera on my skin, and on hot days I use Himalayan Neem Face Wash, Kiehl’s Vitamin C Concentrate, and organic rose water. I believe in improving my skin and health from within, and for that I created a “golden paste” – which is a blend of fresh turmeric, honey, cardamom, cinnamon and pepper. My son and I both love it because of its anti-inflammatory, immune-boosting properties. Drink a glass of lemon first thing in the morning…that pretty much sums it up. “
