Her characteristic blonde hair, captivating blue eyes and princess demeanor were not always weapons of seduction for Colombian actress Maritza Rodríguez. Born in Barranquilla, the star of novels such as "Silvana, without wool" and "The Lord of the Skies" used to feel that her look was not the one that best fit the popular taste of her hometown. Time and her vocation as a model would make that feeling change. We discussed this process with her and what beauty means now that she is temporarily away from the cameras.

Who were your beauty icons when you were a child?

When I was a child, my beauty icon was Wonder Woman, Lynda Carter. It seemed to me that she was in every way a beautiful woman. Although she had her glasses and always her hair tied back, her beauty, her way of dressing and the wonder woman outfit was to me like wow, a woman in every way. Already in the middle of television when I saw novels I liked Lucia Méndez because she was a perfection of beauty, she represented the Mexican woman with a lot of color and I am a lot of color. It was complete and of the many that we walked the red carpet and starred in soap operas, I think that in her time she carried her foot forward to what we are today.

What kind of teenager were you in terms of grooming yourself?

I was never going beyond my stage. I was always a girl, I was always a teenager. I don't think I ever wanted to wear high heels when I was a kid. As for makeup, it was the same. In my fifteen years I forgot to put makeup on. I let myself be guided so much by my mother, I was her doll, she sewed and made all the dresses for us, I chose the shoes. I never chose anything. Always let yourself be carried away by your taste. I think I did my makeup at 18. My first job that I did when I was fifteen or sixteen years old was selling children's clothes, and with my first salary I went and bought myself a mascara, brown color, so that my eyelashes had something, imagine you!

Did you have a beauty complex that you overcome?

Of course yes. I have the atypical prototype for women from Barranquilla and more at the time I was, at the age of being attractive to men. Not self-conscious, [but] not that she was the woman that every man takes to dance. In fact, in the mini-dances that I went as a girl, I always stayed sitting and nobody took me out to dance. Why ?, because I was so white, so skinny, zero hip and at that time because obviously the voluptuous woman was what drew attention, more brunettes. But notice that it helped me a lot to enter the catwalks. When I discovered that it was better to be a hook than to [have] curves, I felt more comfortable. With modeling I was able to take advantage of it because I knew what to exploit and what to hide within my physical appearance and play much more with my face that was much more striking, my hair.

How has your style changed over the years?

It was changing a lot … starting from being a girl from a small city, Barranquilla, tropical, with shorts, colors and not knowing much about fashion. When I go to Bogotá, the style of clothing due to the weather is different and it really [is about] marking a style, although I always kept the trend more discreet, more sober. When I became the star I wanted to become a fashion icon. So my great inspiration was obviously Jlo, who is the great diva of carpets. I have always been very classic, although lately I broke with a touch of daring a little sexy. Right now I am in a completely different stage, more conservative, which I really like. It was little by little, from becoming the provincial girl to an international woman who knows what to wear, who is on trend, who is in fashion or what to wear.

How does it feel to always be in the public eye? Does what others say about your style affect you?

Both fashion and beauty change as you mature. You get rid of many complexes and approval. When you go to what you really are, what you want to express and project in that moment, you really put on what makes you feel good. So it was that in several rugs I was the best among the best, because I came out feeling a bit accepted or judged and lived the authenticity of who I am. Incredibly through fashion, through beauty, which seems somewhat insignificant, you are transmitting what you are inside. For me, fashion became a voice that expressed how my soul smiled and really lived fashion like that. Nowadays people may start to judge me with my hats or with my hair tied up, with my clothes much more conservative, but that's what I feel today,I live and I am very happy and very happy.
