Born in London to an Indian Father and a Peruvian Mother, Fernandes still resides in her home city but also works in New York, Mubai and Dubai on client assignments. In addition to her successful modelling career, she has found success acting in television and films with roles in Kapoor & Sons, Housefull 4, Cheat India and Sujoy Ghosh’s Badla.
Fernandes has seen her celebrity profile soar thanks to regular appearances at high profile events including the British Fashion Awards (alongside Anna Wintour), Milan fashion week in 2019 and the Cannes Film Festival.

She also runs iAmChange (her own charity), and spends large amounts of time working with Sightlife.
