Sandra‘s Closet

Finally I can share the news for you: the most spectacular style battle in the world is coming to Germany presented by Gülcan Kamps and I will be part of it. On October 15, 2024, MY STYLE ROCKS premiers on Sport1 and I am one of the four jurors alongside fashion designer Harald Glööckler, actress and model Larissa Marolt, and beauty expert Andreas Wendt.

The new show is on daily from Monday to Friday at 4:45 p.m at Sport1 and 3+.

MY STYLE ROCKS is a fashion competition show in which twelve stylish, self-confident women fight a daily fashion battle to determine the most stylish woman in Germany. Every day, the participants get a motto that they have to interpret in their own stylish way. From an autumn walk to a sophisticated business appointment to a club night. They can go shopping or present something from their own closet. After walking the catwalk, they will explain their choices and their inspirations to the jury and their fellow contestants.

They will then be commented on and evaluated using a points system by us fashion experts as well as the other candidates based on their creativity, their presentation and their consistency with the theme of the day.

At the end of the week, on the last gala day, they are given a specific theme – such as «Red Carpet Glam», «Feather Fantasy» or «Halloween Queen» – and the candidates have to take it up a notch. At the end of each week, the person with the highest score wins the weekly prize. Those with the lowest overall score, however, are in the danger zone – and one of them is eliminated.

What I really love about this TV format is that viewers have the opportunity to follow the contestants’ development over the weeks and see how they increasingly express their fashion sense and personality through their outfits. They will also learn new tips and be inspired by their fashion sense. It’s not just about being fashionable, but also about expressing their talent, creativity and fashion sense – and ultimately making it to the finals to win the crown. Personally speaking, I will give insights into fashion history, materials, proportions and trends.

Each week one contestant will win the weekly prize of €1500 and at the end of the series only one of them will be crowned as the most stylish woman in the country. She will win the big prize money of € 20,000!

In Switzerland MY STYLE ROCKS will air on 3+. For more information on the show in German, click here please. I hope you will start watching on Tuesday!

LoL, Sandra

Before flying to Brazil, I filmed with SISLEY Paris a TV-spot at Jelmoli about the most important S/S 2019 beauty trends that will air for the first time on May 31, 2019 at 6.30pm during «Lifestyle» on Tele Züri. SISLEY National Make-up Artist David Hahmeyer created three different looks on me that reflect what is in vogue now and explained which star products he used. The spot will be constantly repeated in case that you are missing out…

A big thank you to the Sisley team and the Tele Züri crew!

Every season poses an opportunity for the biggest names in makeup to decide how they would like to see the beauty world. For the S/S 2019 makeup trends, their focus was on clean, glowing skin, to create a no-make-up look. Effects were punctuated by just a single messy or unusual element, in this case preferably a wild graphic eyeliner to watercolor-esque eyeshadow in an eye-catching hue. For the evening, old-school glamour played an important role, with the focus on strong red lips combined with soft smokey eyes. This is a season of «everything is possible», and the S/S 2019 beauty trends certainly reflect that.

SISLEY Paris star products for the «No Make-up» look:
Phyto-Teint Expert Flawless Skincare Foundation and Instant Eclat (a great product that you can also mix with your blush to create a highlighting effect).

SISLEY Paris star products for the «Statement Eyes» look:
Phyto-Eye Twist Long-Lasting Eyeshadow – 5 Lagoon and Highlighter Blush – L’Orchidée Corail No.3.

SISLEY Paris star products for the «French Red Lips» look:
Blur Expert and Le Phyto Rouge Lipstick – 42 Rouge Rio.

Now that the sun is finally coming out, you also may feel liberated to have more fun with your makeup, because the next few months are the perfect time to press restart and try new things.

LoL, Sandra

So happy with the results – thank you, David!

Two weeks ago, I went to Geneva to film a new episode of Spotlight which will air this Saturday, at 7.45pm on Tele Züri. The reason? Tiffany & Co. celebrated the opening of its newest store at 21, Rue du Rhône.

Frederic Cumenal, CEO of Tiffany & Co. and Gitta Gräfin Lambsdorff, Managing Director Tiffany & Co., Germany/Austria/Switzerland, hosted the evening. The approximately 500 guests
were welcomed to a cocktail reception at the store where they were able to explore the magnificent new interiors across the store’s two floors and discover dazzling jewellery and the limited edition watches that the American jeweller has specially created to commemorate its return to Geneva.

The four limited edition cocktail watches, exclusively created for the Geneva opening.

Tiffany’s brilliant new store reflects the company’s global reputation as a luxury brand and a 178-year history that includes Geneva, where Tiffany first opened a branch in 1868.

TIFFANY DIAMOND
This legendary beauty was acquired by Charles Lewis Tiffany in 1878. To this day, the spectacular 128.54-carat fancy yellow diamond remains one of the most important gemstones on earth. It was a great honor to see this precious piece in real life in Geneva as it rarely travels, remaining at home on the main floor of the Tiffany flagship store on Fifth Avenue in New York City.

Star guest Paloma Picasso gave me a great interview that will air in the next Spotlight episode. To explore her newest collection for Tiffany, please click here.

Following the cocktail reception in the new store, we were then ushered to a glamourous marquee with a stunning Tiffany Blue Box entrance. With magnificent views to the Lake Geneva and the Jet d’Eau, we enjoyed a fantastic party with live performances by renowned saxophonist Chez Taylor-Francis, DJMike and DJ Viky Queen.

A fun evening that ended with the beautiful Jet d’Eau lit up in Tiffany blue!

If you are living in Switzerland, don’t forget to watch Spotlight this Saturday at 7.45pm! The trailer will tell you a little more about the episode…

Great news and another reason why I had been so busy during the last weeks. Last Saturday, «Spotlight», the new lifestyle magazine on TeleZüri, presented its first show from “Zermatt Unplugged“ in Valais, the well-known music festival, with top artists, like James Blunt and Patricia Kaas. The focus of the new format is to cover the most important events and personalities from the fields of food, travel, beauty, fashion, kids and business, a well as impressive success stories and shopping, cultural and party tips.

Together with Zoe Torinesi and Dilan Anja Gropengiesser, I am one of the presenters and will take you with me on the most dazzling journeys around the globe, featuring the best stories about fashion, beauty and lifestyle. Tonight at 7.45 pm (CEST) you can see me for the first time in action (two hourly repeat). In my first show, you will get to know some of my favorite spots in the fashion capital of Paris and explore the newest fashion trends for S/S 2015. Here are some behind the scene photos for you to get an idea of what to expect…
