Lisa Opie is a radiant force in the fashion and beauty world—an energetic, glamorous, and confident model, entrepreneur, and podcast producer. Recently dominating Miami Swim Week, she continues to inspire countless women by combining passion with purpose. In this exclusive interview, Lisa Opie shares her most memorable moments, daily habits, and empowering advice for those embarking on their own journeys.
Lisa Opie, you are energetic, glamorous, confident, and utterly irresistible. You took over Miami Swim Week — another triumphant “swim” on your journey to success. What was the most memorable moment for you during Swim Week?
It’s so difficult to choose just one because the entire experience felt truly magical. However, I especially treasured the sense of sisterhood backstage—meeting new friends, uplifting one another, and celebrating beauty in all its diverse forms. I also loved interviewing Ema Savahl for Edgar Entertainment on opening night. Being the opening model for both the Delarose Sisters at Miami Swim Week The Shows and Kasia de Gelaque at Supermodels Unlimited was an incredible honour and definitely a personal highlight!
You’ve founded multiple brands and seamlessly shift between roles as a model, entrepreneur, and podcast producer. What habit or morning ritual helps you stay focused each day while juggling multitasking and stress? Could you also share your favourite beauty hacks from your daily routine?
Every morning begins with gratitude and setting clear intentions. Taking just a few moments to centre myself truly transforms the day ahead. Regarding beauty, a good setting powder is my absolute holy grail—especially in Miami’s heat! I swear by Resting Bake Face by LadyCode Cosmetics; it gives me a flawless, filter-like finish that lasts all day.
Lady Code Shop and Beauty by LadyCode have become thriving platforms. What’s your secret to building a personal brand that genuinely resonates and sells?
It’s all about community. I built LadyCode to uplift and empower women, and everything I create stems from love and purpose. When you’re truly passionate and genuinely care for your community, it shows — and that authenticity is what makes a brand flourish.
You inspire so many women. With all your experience, what advice would you give to someone just starting their journey in the fashion and beauty industry?
Never give up and always remain authentic. Trust the timing of your life because your moment will come. I’m 34 and just walked in major Swim Week shows — proof that dreams don’t expire. Keep showing up, keep believing, and let your passion be your guide.
If you could describe your personal philosophy in one sentence, what would it be?
Live fearlessly, be kind, and let your light shine—unapologetically.
