The new face of Maybelline and a known face on international ramps, Diana Penty is definitely the one to watch out for this year.

USP: "I think my strength is my height," she says, "and my narrow structure. I think it fits the look most designers have in mind." Fitness regime: "The truth is I have always been on the smaller side," says Penty. "When I was younger, I went through a phase when I desperately tried putting on weight. Today, I can use this to my advantage. I eat everything under the sun and more than any of my friends! I workout and used to do yoga. I must confess that I don't need hard workouts to stay in shape though."

Why you love being a model: It's a good feeling to be recognised.

The dark side of modelling: You're always under scrutiny. You have to be ready to be judged at all times.

The WLIFW experience: It was amazing, working with the best professionals in the industry. It was hectic, but great. There was phenomenal exposure. Of course, there is pressure to perform, but that is part of the game.

Shows she did: Cue, Deepika Govind, Krishna Mehta, Rocky S, Suneet Verma.

Favourite designers: Wendell Rodricks, Ranna Gill and Monisha Jaisingh.

My killer party look is: simple, elegant and classy in a dress and high heel.

On a day out with the gals, I would wear: jeans, top and flip-flops or flats.

I shop till I drop in: Paris and London

I splurge on: shoes and clothes

Best bargain buy: when I was in Sri Lanka, I bought tunics off the street which look like designer stuff.

Fashion disaster is: what happens when you dress to get noticed!

I wouldn't be caught dead in: animal prints.

My bad hair day rescue operation: I have never had a bad hair day, so I guess it's mostly prevention.

Hottest actors: George Clooney and Farhan Akhtar.

Most beautiful actor: Angelina Jolie

One thing I want to buy: a Mac notebook

I can't live without: Chocolates
