You Won’t Believe What Amber Valletta Looks Like Now!

BBG News

Amber Valletta was a major 1990s supermodel who worked for top designers such as Versace and DKNY.

And the 5ft10in catwalk veteran had a major contract with Calvin Klein. 

Additionally, she frequently appeared on the cover of Vogue at age 51, usually alongside her striking counterpart Shalom Harlow.

In the 2000s, Valletta began to focus on her career as an actress.

In the year 2000, she made her significant debut in cinema playing a spirit causing haunting events in Robert Zemeckis’ suspenseful movie about the supernatural, titled What Lies Beneath. She starred alongside Harrison Ford and Michelle Pfeiffer in this production.

Subsequently, she made appearances in movies like Hitch (2005), The Transporter 2 (2005), Man About Town (2006), Dead Silence (2007), Gamer (2009), and The Spy Next Door (2010).

2011 saw her transition to television, taking on a regular character in the ABC drama series Revenge, portraying the character Lydia Davis, who had fallen from grace as a socialite.

In 2015, Valletta starred as the scheming Carla Briggs in another ABC soap opera, Blood & Oil. 

2020 marked the occasion for her when she commemorated a remarkable quarter-century of living free from substance abuse, having previously struggled with drug and alcohol dependency.

As I shared in an interview with NET-A-PORTER’s Porter magazine, giving up my struggle with substance abuse was a pivotal moment that truly saved my life.

In their straightforward conversation with the press, the celebrity confided, “Given free rein, I can assure you that, despite my profound affection for life and my loved ones, I would meet an untimely end if I were to partake in alcohol or any of my preferred substances. I’d destroy everything around me.

In July 2014, model Amber publicly discussed her struggles with substance abuse for the first time. She disclosed that she was exposed to drugs as a child at the age of 10, and began using cocaine when she turned 18 years old.

In an open admission, the previous representative of Giorgio Armani acknowledged feeling satisfied with maintaining a clean appearance, stating: “I never had any issues when I was out and about, whether people noticed me under the influence of drugs or alcohol.

Why should I feel embarrassed about maintaining cleanliness and admitting, ‘I have an uncontrollable illness’? It is only through sobriety that I stand any hope for survival.

In the ’90s, this supermodel achieved great fame, adorning 16 issues of American Vogue, representing Versace, and landing high-value deals with Calvin Klein and Elizabeth Arden worth millions.

In reminiscing about forming a bond similar to that of Kate Moss and Shalom Harlow, the television and movie actress noted: ‘We weren’t consciously trying to make a statement.’

You might have disagreements, shed tears together, lift each other up, face job losses together – the whole range of shared experiences.

The prominent figure in the media world emphasized the varying aspects of modern fashion industry, expressing disdain for the present ‘selfie’ culture.

Amber clarified: “You wouldn’t have snapped a selfie with your Polaroid or bragged about traveling in a private plane.

When Linda Evangelista said “I never rise from bed for less than $10,000 a day,” it made a big impact. Nowadays, people casually speak like that on Instagram, even those who don’t actually achieve much.

‘[Selfies] make me painfully uncomfortable. I want things to change – that’s all I care about now.’

At the start of her professional journey, she openly acknowledged feeling detached from the world, yet currently, she strives to embody her authentic self as her life’s purpose.

Actress from Blood & Oil revealed: “At 15, I began modeling. I experienced a significant gap that I couldn’t quite grasp. I oscillated between feeling melancholic, anxious, and partying.

‘I strive to become the person I admire. Instead of just speaking about it, I aim to embody these qualities in my actions. I want to give myself room for difficult days, feelings of sadness or anger, as well as moments of love and acceptance towards others.’

Regardless of those whose opinions I may not agree with, I strive to navigate the world as softly and peacefully as possible.

Ever since she stepped into the limelight, Amber has taken on a more active role, often speaking up for Oceana’s Seafood Contamination Advocacy Project.

In November, she was taken into custody by the Capitol Police for obstructing traffic during a protest about climate change that Jane Fonda was leading on a regular basis in Washington D.C.

Standing firm with her decisions, she openly declared: “I decided to be detained. I’ve had this urge to make a noise, to assert myself. I don’t give a hoot about other people’s opinions.

‘I can’t just watch from the sidelines; I feel compelled to take action. I made a choice to be arrested as a representation of my convictions. My life is significant enough to make a stand, to demonstrate that every life matters and deserves to be fought for.’

Speaking candidly about her convictions, the mother shared: “I stand for this cause. I’m prepared to face criticism and potential imprisonment. It’s deeply important to me.

Among all challenges that we are currently grappling with, this one stands out as the most critical. I’m not intending to undermine the significance of cancer, AIDS, diabetes, addiction, and other issues; however, if we fail to address this crisis, there will be nothing left worth fighting for – nothing else truly matters.

Amber, mother of 25-year-old Auden together with her former spouse Chip McCaw, confessed that she often feels emotional when contemplating climate change and the destiny of our Earth.

She stated: “My great-grandchildren might reside in a world devoid of such wonders as elephants and whales, for I myself will no longer be alive.

The ocean may appear clean and pristine, but it’s filled with plastic waste that can spoil its beauty and harm marine life. From not being able to enjoy a meal of fresh fish or relax on a sandy beach, to losing the chance to explore coral reefs or contribute as doctors, scientists, or artists, we are unknowingly compromising our connection with this vital resource. It’s hard to fathom the gravity of the situation.
