Model, Mama, beauty entrepreneur and with a movie star husband to boot, Emma Heming Willis is as refreshingly un-Hollywood as they come. Raised by a single mom, she has been an icon in the fashion industry for the past 20 years. She’s humble, down-to-earth and deadpan funny, and not only runs the Willis ship, but also her growing beauty empire CocoBaba; a sustainably sourced skincare line of Coconut Oil products for all moms, moms-to-be or when you just want to feel mothered.
Below, she gives us a glimpse into some of her fave things (the girl still likes a burger once in a while!), and finally answers the question that’s been on everyone’s lips, which of her hubby’s iconic movies, is her favorite?
