Aaliyah Michelle Jauregui

"In the fashion world, I go by middle name which is Michelle. Que the MJ. Unless you are a friend, stick to just calling me Aaliyah. Not just anyone can do as they please with my name. However, only my brother and sister call me Leelee. It's what I taught them and it's what they get away with. But all of my friends call me Leah or Allie."

"I'm single. Very much available, though not many can handle me. At least, that's what I think."
While she is very much single, what remains unspoken is the on-and-off again relationship Aaliyah had with the queen bee of her sophomore year. The other female, despite knowing Aaliyah was falling for her, still couldn't admit that she wasn't straight, going back and forth between messing around with Allie and being with the guy she liked. It wasn't healthy and only two of Aaliyah's friends know. She hasn't told either that she hooked up with the girl again upon visiting Cannes back in May for the film festival there. She has been on several dates, but that had been her only serious relationship.

"God, I feel like I've had this same interview ten billion times already. I'm a fashion designer. I run my own business. I am the head and face of the House of Jauregui line. I started designing around my seventh birthday after my Dad worked out some connections between myself and a few designers, most notably Marc Jacobs who would allow me the chance to debut right after his models walked in the New York Fashion Week for Fall 2006. I spent a good portion of that time answering the same old questions that, yes, this is my company and no, my mom was not behind this. She helps a lot, but don't doubt my intelligence or work ethic. And since those years, I have managed to turn this business into a multi-million dollar fashion empire and I don't see myself stopping any time soon."

"I love my hair. I'm always messing with it. Hell, I let my best friends mess with it."
Long and falling past her bust line, Aaliyah's hair is practically her baby. It's the one thing her fans have admired the most, second to her eyes, and it's the one thing she takes care of the most. Lustrous looking and silky to the touch, Aaliyah's hair is definitely considered noirette, not either brown or black. It's thick and mostly straight with the smallest of waves being seen in each individual strand.
โฆHAIRSTYLE(S)โฆ
"I do a lot of my circle's hair, but mine is usually straight or in curls. You might see it in a ponytail, maybe on lazy days, but I mess with my hair too much on a regular for it to be tied back."
โฆDISTINGUISHING MARK(S)โฆ
Aaliyah has two tattoos: one, in the crease of her left arm and the other, which is on the nape of her neck. She also has a nose piercing and while both ears are pierced, she has a double cartilage piercing in her left ear.
โฆFASHION SENSEโฆ
"I've always considered myself to have a dark vibe going on, but unintelligent people always label that as you simply like wearing black or being goth. It's not the case. Edgy isn't just black leather and Rolling Stones influences. It's bold, it's eye catching and I love it.."
Aaliyah's style has always been three things: bold, dark and edgy with a classic sense of chic. Her wardrobe both on and off the red carpet have always been eye-catching and there's no secret to why she has won Best Dressed for the last two years. Of course, she dresses more casually on some school days, but make no mistake. She's a fashionista at heart, knows how to work with the curves she was blessed with, and isn't afraid of experimenting with fashion. That's the point of being a designer; being able to experiment and come out with astounding pieces, and Aaliyah has always been fearlessly stylish.

"We all know that it's impossible to wake up looking like our Instagram pics or even our fave characters. You actually have to put in work every day and that's what I do. For one, I have a personal trainer. Let's be clear, it's not easy. Despite wanting to be healthy, there are hundreds of other factors that affects people working out and I, for one, don't do the things I do simply because of a trend or because of body-shaming. One, most people work out to reach some unattainable level of beauty and it's not gonna happen. I'm a proud size six, I have curves while being as slim as my frame will allow, and I genuinely love my body. However, gyms and I? Not friends. They bore me and aren't motivational. I need things that keep my attention. So, for one, my Dad hired Eddie Arrazola as my personal trainer and nutritionist. We do a lot of kickboxing as it keeps your girl motivated, is fun, and can come in handy. It drives me, even when Mother Nature wants to be a bitch. I also do yoga, having done Bikram yoga in New York with my auntie Guadalupe. I also, believe it or not, do pole dancing classes at the Allure Dance & Fitness Studio every Monday and Friday. You usually have to be eighteen, but my Dad can be very persuasive.
No, I'm not vegan. I'm not a pescatarian or vegetarian. I eat burgers every now and then, and I looooove bacon. I love food and I love it too much to pretend that I don't. What I do are infused water cleanses. I can have them during the day in my large bottle, they're tasty, and they filter out all the bad stuff. I also have Antonia Lofaso as my private chef. After her TV appearance and realizing how close she lived, we sampled her food, loved it, and my Dad pays her to cook for me and keep quiet about the deal. I still mess up, I'm human. And Cold Stones is too good for this world. But I am monitoring myself and learning. Anyway, in terms of skincare like with facial cleansers and even body wash and lotion, I'm a L'OCCITANE girl. It's what works for my skin and has me looking my best. For makeup, we debuted a makeup line back in January called Michelle in a collaboration with Cover Girl and I, for one, am going to use my product. I put in too much work in this to sell to other people to not appreciate it. And it's worked wonders ever since and I have yet to hear a complaint from anyone. And I always smell like Jasmin Noir from Bulgari.
My manicurist Stephanie Stone is god-sent and I get her to do some of my fashion shows as well just because I believe in her. Last, but not least, my hair...my baby. Everyone knows that this is my pride and joy, and other than myself, only two other people can actually care for it. First is Andy Lecompte because he is amazing and the second is Philip Carreon because I wouldn't just give my models to hair specialists that I wouldn't trust for my own locks. I've cared for my hair since I was thirteen. I used Phillip B's Royal Oud Collection. For one, the product does wonders, but I also like the warm yet sweet scent it has. It goes well with my perfume and again, my hair has luster. Of course, I appreciate it. I put work into what I have and honestly, these results are nothing but hard-earned."

"Not trying to be arrogant, but there are no ugly Royals. Let's just leave it at that."
Aaliyah's humble enough to not claim being the most gorgeous girl in the school, but she definitely ranks very high on Hollywood High School's scale at 9/10. Even the queen bee herself would be lying by saying that Aaliyah isn't one of the most beautiful girls in the school. There are too many people commenting on it or trying to be like her for anyone to doubt her attractiveness.

โฆPERSONALITYโฆ
There's an order in the way that things go at Beverly Hills High School. You don't have to like it, you can even tell yourself that you will refuse to adhere to it - at the end of the day, the laws in place have remained in place and will remain as such. Such laws include no one having a set clique until the end of their freshman year or by their sophomore year. Some have had to wait longer, but it's very rare when people know beforehand. You might aspire to be in a particular clique and you might literally be willing to break your neck in order to do so, but very rarely has there been someone who has been in Aaliyah's place - where her spot as a Royal was guaranteed before the end of freshman year. Of course, she was patient. The Queen Bee did her duties and waited until the end of the year to declare Aaliyah as such, but make no mistake - she is and has been a Royal, and she's very well secure in that position. And it had nothing to do with groveling, begging or sucking up to the bees that had been in place when she arrived as a freshman. Without even trying or meaning to, Aaliyah was discovered to have the beauty and money of an A-Lister, the talent of the Virtuosi, the elusiveness and mystery of the loners, the chameleon charisma of the the drifters, and the intelligence that could rival with even the smartest of the Brains. Simply put, there was no other place that she belonged more than in the Royal family.
One look at her families' bank statements and another appraisal of her appearance, and Aaliyah already fit the bill of a Royal. After all, these are usually the most beautiful and the richest students of the school. But it comes to another trait that you notice upon one glance. Aaliyah is powerful. That can be explained simply by her background. She has a celebrity entourage outside of the school, she makes deals with fashion designers and personalities alike, she's been in commercials and attended more red carpet events than most kids could even dream of being close to. She has influence. She's a household name. But there's more...she positively radiates power. Let's be very clear - there is no one more than Aaliyah who does not want the crown. She had already been offered it by the end of sophomore year and had recommended another person for the infamous title. It's just never been her ambition and it still isn't. But still...there's something intimidating about her...something untouchable. That's just because, like a good number of the A-Listers, Aaliyah was born into prestige. She has never wanted for anything. The difference is that entitlement...it doesn't exist. Aaliyah has understood, from a young age, that she has needed to work to gain something. She is a confident, smart, and ambitious young woman who knows what she wants for her future and will strive to get it. Nothing gets in the way of her when she does want something, not even family, and that is what makes her powerful. That's what makes her very aura palpable. She sees something, and she goes for it. She wants, she takes. It's as simple as that. She does not brag about having power over people, it's not in her nature. But no one has doubted this - Aaliyah is power and Aaliyah is influential.
Why influential, you might ask? Because she has been close friends with mostly every bee that has sat on the throne of Beverly Hills High since she's been a student. A near impossible task, you might say, but Aaliyah is nothing, if not, a likable being. She's not the type to be the most vivacious and bubbly figure you have seen. In fact, it's quite common to hear people call her the Ice Queen simply because Aaliyah is not all smiles every day. She doesn't find the need to put a show for anyone and if her having a resting bitch face allows you to let your guard down then, that's your problem because Aaliyah's is rarely down. Call her what you will, but Aaliyah is actually just perceptive and what might be mistaken for cold silence is simply her observing her surroundings or looking for weaknesses. She's fun to be around, is always up for an adventure or something new, and she likes to be out and about with the right people, but she's alright with not being the center of attention. It's the perfect way to perform a preemptive strike. This is why Aaliyah has been so trusted by the bees that have ruled over her - because she is willing to have people's backs and she's subtle enough to accomplish the task. Does she agree with everything a queen or king bee has done? Of course not, she even hates when they're bullying someone because she finds it a waste of time to belittle someone else. But she's loyal, is very adamant about keeping what's hers protected, and can be your worst nightmare.
From first glance, a few people have admitted to being either very intimidated by her or aware that she can end them. Not too many have even dared to piss her off. Because Aaliyah notices things - the lingering gaze you shot down the hall to the girlfriend you shouldn't have because, technically, you're dating one of her friends; the way you crinkle your nose at the sound of something you don't like; biting your lip when feeling caught. Aaliyah is meticulous about detail when it comes to her designs and there's no doubt that it's very much evident even in the way she handles school. Oh, she can seem harmless. Not the loudest of the Royals, Aaliyah can be quite unassuming and it's hard to get a read on her, but trust and believe that she has one on you. She has too high of a GPA and IQ to attack head on, but trust - just because her face is blank does not mean that she has not already foreseen your demise. Especially after you've messed with someone she cares about. Aaliyah is the epitome of loyal and has proven it time and again. And if she has that smile - the one that is slow to fully reaching her face and ends with a flash of pearly whites - trust that you might as well either start groveling (which she will not be impressed by) or simply go ahead and start wearing a paper bag over your head. There will be no regret in her, no sign of remorse unless otherwise instructed or gained - Aaliyah can end people, even by simply whispering a few choice words in an administrator or a bee's ear. It all depends on how fast or brutal she wants your destruction to be.
Despite the intimidating wave of danger, Lauren is still, rather, magnetic. For one, she's a beauty with a slightly raspy voice that pulls you in and everyone is captivated by beauty. Then there's a fact that Aaliyah is...well, to put it plainly, is very comfortable in her sexuality. She positively reeks of a sexual allure that has more than enough guys and girls flocking to her to tell you - being a size 0 don't mean anything if you don't know how to work with what you've got. And Aaliyah works it every day! She knows she's gorgeous, knows her body is hot like fire and is more than comfortable with being in control of her sexual life, whether that mean taking charge in flirting or in the bedroom. But there's also a moment where the light appears; her eyes crinkle just slightly at a friend or classmate who spoke to her, full lips part to reveal her teeth - she's smiling and she's radiant and there's no way in hell you can't be a bit entranced by that. Even a little. Aaliyah, despite not considering herself that much of a people-person, is still rather magnetic. After all, as her besties will tell you, Aaliyah might look like she could kill you but is an actual cinnamon roll, too sweet, too pure, too perfect for this world. Or some other dramatic thing to simply explain that she's so much more of a softie than her countenance gives off and sometimes, you can simply feel it. It's enough of a feeling that enables even a non-Lister to approach her, even to simply say "Hello." She's humorous, without even trying, and can be downright adorable if she feels comfortable enough.
That's the thing with Aaliyah; she honestly does not care about a lot of judgment and will gladly do as she pleases all in within the realms of it being appropriate for the person in actual power above her, but comfort is what she looks for and it is in that element that you see glimmers of the girl her friends are very familiar with. The girl who will amuse you without even knowing that she is, the one that could talk a mile a minute about your favorite shows and crushes, the one who keeps your secrets, the one who comforts you with freshly-baked chocolate chip cookies. The friend. Above a lot of things, Aaliyah is a friend and a damn good one. She might seem a bit elusive at times and private, sure, but as stated before, Aaliyah protects what's hers and she is one of the most loyal people you could find under the Hollywood lights.
At the end of the day, Aaliyah is the girl who pours her entire self into her relationships, whether they be her friendships or romantic endeavors. There is hardly an in between for her. While she might seem like the everyday cool that one can only dream of being and every girl tries their hardest to emulate, she is the type to love deeply and hate just as hard. She's an intense being, knows this, and accepts it whole-heartedly. Many people can call themselves her friend - it takes her acknowledging you as such in order to validate that statement. Aaliyah does not trust easily; she might smile and you might say it's being fake, but that's her simply being respectful. Any person will feel like a human being in her presence, even when it feels like she's dissecting you or sizing you up, but it's very evident when she doesn't like someone and she can bluntly tell it to you if she push her buttons. She's the hurricane a lot of guys don't know if they're even ready to ride, she's not easily impressed by the typical pick-up lines, and she's not an easy conquest. She's real, never forgets a wrong, and can very much see through your game. It's a matter of how much she loves you and is willing to indulge your foolishness because Aaliyah will definitely call your bullshit out. Again, she does have a softer side. Just behind the protective Mama cheetah is still a girl who cares more about other people than she sometimes would allow for them to do for her, who tries her damnest not to be vulnerable, and softens way too quickly in a baby's presence. The point is that Aaliyah is complex, like all humans should be, and she has been secure in her position for too long for anyone to doubt where she belongs. She's admired and respected by all, feared by the intelligent, and she may not be the queen of the entire school, but she damn well is one in her own right.

โฆPERSONALITYโฆ
There's an order in the way that things go at Beverly Hills High School. You don't have to like it, you can even tell yourself that you will refuse to adhere to it - at the end of the day, the laws in place have remained in place and will remain as such. Such laws include no one having a set clique until the end of their freshman year or by their sophomore year. Some have had to wait longer, but it's very rare when people know beforehand. You might aspire to be in a particular clique and you might literally be willing to break your neck in order to do so, but very rarely has there been someone who has been in Aaliyah's place - where her spot as a Royal was guaranteed before the end of freshman year. Of course, she was patient. The Queen Bee did her duties and waited until the end of the year to declare Aaliyah as such, but make no mistake - she is and has been a Royal, and she's very well secure in that position. And it had nothing to do with groveling, begging or sucking up to the bees that had been in place when she arrived as a freshman. Without even trying or meaning to, Aaliyah was discovered to have the beauty and money of an A-Lister, the talent of the Virtuosi, the elusiveness and mystery of the loners, the chameleon charisma of the the drifters, and the intelligence that could rival with even the smartest of the Brains. Simply put, there was no other place that she belonged more than in the Royal family.
One look at her families' bank statements and another appraisal of her appearance, and Aaliyah already fit the bill of a Royal. After all, these are usually the most beautiful and the richest students of the school. But it comes to another trait that you notice upon one glance. Aaliyah is powerful. That can be explained simply by her background. She has a celebrity entourage outside of the school, she makes deals with fashion designers and personalities alike, she's been in commercials and attended more red carpet events than most kids could even dream of being close to. She has influence. She's a household name. But there's more...she positively radiates power. Let's be very clear - there is no one more than Aaliyah who does not want the crown. She had already been offered it by the end of sophomore year and had recommended another person for the infamous title. It's just never been her ambition and it still isn't. But still...there's something intimidating about her...something untouchable. That's just because, like a good number of the A-Listers, Aaliyah was born into prestige. She has never wanted for anything. The difference is that entitlement...it doesn't exist. Aaliyah has understood, from a young age, that she has needed to work to gain something. She is a confident, smart, and ambitious young woman who knows what she wants for her future and will strive to get it. Nothing gets in the way of her when she does want something, not even family, and that is what makes her powerful. That's what makes her very aura palpable. She sees something, and she goes for it. She wants, she takes. It's as simple as that. She does not brag about having power over people, it's not in her nature. But no one has doubted this - Aaliyah is power and Aaliyah is influential.
Why influential, you might ask? Because she has been close friends with mostly every bee that has sat on the throne of Beverly Hills High since she's been a student. A near impossible task, you might say, but Aaliyah is nothing, if not, a likable being. She's not the type to be the most vivacious and bubbly figure you have seen. In fact, it's quite common to hear people call her the Ice Queen simply because Aaliyah is not all smiles every day. She doesn't find the need to put a show for anyone and if her having a resting bitch face allows you to let your guard down then, that's your problem because Aaliyah's is rarely down. Call her what you will, but Aaliyah is actually just perceptive and what might be mistaken for cold silence is simply her observing her surroundings or looking for weaknesses. She's fun to be around, is always up for an adventure or something new, and she likes to be out and about with the right people, but she's alright with not being the center of attention. It's the perfect way to perform a preemptive strike. This is why Aaliyah has been so trusted by the bees that have ruled over her - because she is willing to have people's backs and she's subtle enough to accomplish the task. Does she agree with everything a queen or king bee has done? Of course not, she even hates when they're bullying someone because she finds it a waste of time to belittle someone else. But she's loyal, is very adamant about keeping what's hers protected, and can be your worst nightmare.
From first glance, a few people have admitted to being either very intimidated by her or aware that she can end them. Not too many have even dared to piss her off. Because Aaliyah notices things - the lingering gaze you shot down the hall to the girlfriend you shouldn't have because, technically, you're dating one of her friends; the way you crinkle your nose at the sound of something you don't like; biting your lip when feeling caught. Aaliyah is meticulous about detail when it comes to her designs and there's no doubt that it's very much evident even in the way she handles school. Oh, she can seem harmless. Not the loudest of the Royals, Aaliyah can be quite unassuming and it's hard to get a read on her, but trust and believe that she has one on you. She has too high of a GPA and IQ to attack head on, but trust - just because her face is blank does not mean that she has not already foreseen your demise. Especially after you've messed with someone she cares about. Aaliyah is the epitome of loyal and has proven it time and again. And if she has that smile - the one that is slow to fully reaching her face and ends with a flash of pearly whites - trust that you might as well either start groveling (which she will not be impressed by) or simply go ahead and start wearing a paper bag over your head. There will be no regret in her, no sign of remorse unless otherwise instructed or gained - Aaliyah can end people, even by simply whispering a few choice words in an administrator or a bee's ear. It all depends on how fast or brutal she wants your destruction to be.
Despite the intimidating wave of danger, Lauren is still, rather, magnetic. For one, she's a beauty with a slightly raspy voice that pulls you in and everyone is captivated by beauty. Then there's a fact that Aaliyah is...well, to put it plainly, is very comfortable in her sexuality. She positively reeks of a sexual allure that has more than enough guys and girls flocking to her to tell you - being a size 0 don't mean anything if you don't know how to work with what you've got. And Aaliyah works it every day! She knows she's gorgeous, knows her body is hot like fire and is more than comfortable with being in control of her sexual life, whether that mean taking charge in flirting or in the bedroom. But there's also a moment where the light appears; her eyes crinkle just slightly at a friend or classmate who spoke to her, full lips part to reveal her teeth - she's smiling and she's radiant and there's no way in hell you can't be a bit entranced by that. Even a little. Aaliyah, despite not considering herself that much of a people-person, is still rather magnetic. After all, as her besties will tell you, Aaliyah might look like she could kill you but is an actual cinnamon roll, too sweet, too pure, too perfect for this world. Or some other dramatic thing to simply explain that she's so much more of a softie than her countenance gives off and sometimes, you can simply feel it. It's enough of a feeling that enables even a non-Lister to approach her, even to simply say "Hello." She's humorous, without even trying, and can be downright adorable if she feels comfortable enough.
That's the thing with Aaliyah; she honestly does not care about a lot of judgment and will gladly do as she pleases all in within the realms of it being appropriate for the person in actual power above her, but comfort is what she looks for and it is in that element that you see glimmers of the girl her friends are very familiar with. The girl who will amuse you without even knowing that she is, the one that could talk a mile a minute about your favorite shows and crushes, the one who keeps your secrets, the one who comforts you with freshly-baked chocolate chip cookies. The friend. Above a lot of things, Aaliyah is a friend and a damn good one. She might seem a bit elusive at times and private, sure, but as stated before, Aaliyah protects what's hers and she is one of the most loyal people you could find under the Hollywood lights.
At the end of the day, Aaliyah is the girl who pours her entire self into her relationships, whether they be her friendships or romantic endeavors. There is hardly an in between for her. While she might seem like the everyday cool that one can only dream of being and every girl tries their hardest to emulate, she is the type to love deeply and hate just as hard.

However, my home has a sound system and I'm always streaming artists some of my friends have never heard of.

"I have a love for a lot of books. Everything might be digital now, but I'm a total nerd. My library at my Dad's place is huge and I have a lot from Socrates and Plato to Amelia Atwater-Rhodes and Audre Lorde. I don't discriminate. But my fave book of all times still is Crime and Punishment by Fyodor Dostoevsky. Believe me, I'm a nerd and I can go into full discussion about the psychological pull the novel has."

"My first love in the entire world, second to fashion, is seafood. I LOVE seafood with a passion. I probably would be a pescatarian if I didn't like chicken or sausages, but my fave is definitely seafood. I could go into a whole menu to be completely honest, but Antonia makes this lobster and shrimp risotto that is utterly to die for. It is absolutely scrumptious, the flavors just light up my tongue and the textures are just divine. It's my fave dish of all the ones she's made for me. Hell, I'm getting hungry just thinking about it."

โฆHOBBIES & PASTIMESโฆ
"First and foremost, fashion and simply sketching. I have been drawing since I was really small, like coloring in the lines better than some adults drawing. I always have a pencil and paper with me, even in class. Especially in class because it bores me. School is boring and if I had been smart, I would have found a way to test out already but my Dad wanted me to have that experience and Xavier would have been here alone. Second, I actually love to bake. You might think rich kids wouldn't know how to not burn popcorn. Some don't, but I've had two grandmothers who will take over a kitchen and suddenly present you with a five-course meal. I don't cook a lot since there are people who actually choose this as a career, but baking is something that I love doing. It's calming and it distracts me from designer's block, which is definitely a real thing. I'm not the biggest on social media, believe it or not. You might see me post ten times in one day, but then I can go five more days without posting. I'm just always on the move, whether that mean I'm with friends or just finding something new to do on my own. I know how to keep myself entertained, especially considering how easily bored I get."

"First of all, it would be spent with my friends. My real friends. The ones who I out-rightly and publicly claimed as my besties. The only ones you'll see on MY social media accounts. I don't care what we're doing or where we are, just as long as we're chilling out. These are the people that keep me from spending every second scrutinizing every detail of an upcoming show or design, and they are what the idea perfect weekend consist of."
โฆIDEAL HOLIDAY LOCATIONโฆ
"Honestly, the ideal holiday vacation would definitely be wherever my family is. Despite my parents' separation, even though we all know they're gonna get back together, neither sides were willing to part ways. This is nearly twenty years of companionship and family and I just love them so much because we are proud Cubans and have stuck together. And when we are together, it's lit. Like, hella lit. So, my ideal holiday location would be wherever they were dancing the mambo, nibbling on fried plaintains, and just being together under the lights in the backyard of one of mis abuelos' houses."

โฆPLAYS ANY INSTRUMENTS?โฆ
"Even though I had made it clear at a young age that I was going to be most fashionista fashionista in the entire galaxy, my sissy poo was scared of doing vocal lessons by herself. I already liked singing since mi abuelita used to sing to us all the time and I started learning songs, so I started going to a few lessons with her. I was good. My instructor said that my rasp carried over and I have a deep quality to my voice when I sing, but it's not my passion. We tried with guitar but I wasn't nearly as passionate about as my sister. Oh well."
โฆPLAYS ANY SPORTS?โฆ
"I barely like watching sports, what makes you think I would play any? At least, not at school. I just watch those for the sake of my friends since they work hard for it. However, outside of school, I'm definitely more interested in combative sports, just because they're fun for weight loss and toning. I've been doing kickboxing for four years now and we're moving into more Muay Thai and I'm really excited. Also, they don't consider pole dancing a sport, but it's helped a lot with my flexibility but also my upper body strength. It takes practice and toning and I definitely consider it a sport."
โฆSPENDING HABITS?โฆ
"I'm not even gonna lie. I have my days where I spend more than I probably should, but I've been raised by businessmen. I know not to go overboard and I try to keep myself under control. I think I do a pretty good job."
Aaliyah's spending habits can vary in terms of good and bad. On one hand, she doesn't spend too much of her money in a week. She's not afraid to budget, despite not having to pay her bills or anything, and she's not a label whore. So, you won't see that every item in her wardrobe as something from a designer. However, she does not hesitate in spending on something she really wants. She's more controlled than some of her fellow rich kids, but she's still human and will buy what she wants depending on how badly she wants it.
โฆSMOKES?โฆ
"They let every child in my family try to smoke at least once by their thirteenth birthday. Mi abuelo Alfonso was patient and taught me, considering the whole Cuban cigar and being Cuban, but I wasn't a fan. I'm not a fan of weed even though I'm pretty sure I get a contact high at every party we go to, and I fucking hate cigarettes."
No
โฆDRINKS?โฆ
"If it were a cop or interviewer asking, then no, I don't drink. The most I drink is the watermelon lemonade I bought at the restaurant we visited and no, I did not look at the drink menu twice. On the other hand, I hate lying. Parents should be allowed to do what they please with their children and while my Dad can be strict about things, he was the one who introduced me to brandy and scotch. Not that those are my favorites. I'm a red wine girl, all day every day. Sure, I'll drink the spiked punch or maybe feel interested in something at the party we're going to, but I have a wine room at my place. The place I live at alone where I will proudly represent being a future wine mom with my glass of 1962 Domaine Henri Jayer Richebourg Grand Cru."
โฆDRUGS?โฆ
"Can you say, 'hell to the nah!?' I hate drugs, I barely even take pain relievers unless natural remedies don't work. I have a high pain tolerance, if you must know. So I hate drugs of any kind, unless they are absolutely necessary. Commercial drugs or drugs you just use to fuck shit up? Get it away from me."

โฆDRIVES & MOTIVATIONSโฆ
"I think everyone, to a certain extent, is motivated by family and I always will be. For one, on both sides of my family, my grandfathers and their relatives did what they had to in order to survive and ensure the longevity of their families. For me, that's motivation enough. But then you have my Dad who literally renounced his inheritance from mi abuelo Alfonso in favor of starting something new and doing something he was passionate in. And I've always felt the need to be secure on my own. Like, yes, my family does take care of a lot of things, but it's because they want to, not because I can't. But I've always felt the need to prove that you know, I'm independent and that I don't need to be babied like some of my aunts or uncles who just get by with what they've inherited. The work ethic and tenacity I've seen in the people that surround me are what drives me."
โฆWHAT ARE YOUR GOALS?โฆ
"Short term wise, it's to secure myself. I know some might say that I'm already secure. On my own, I'm a millionaire. A multi-millioniare, to be exact. But I want more. I've always wanted more. I've always wanted to feel safe, like I'm doing this and I'm doing it right, not depending on anyone. And so, my short term and long term goals are to be secure. But in the long term, I'm including my family, whoever they might be in that light. Children, significant other, ward, whatever. My goal is to have security and really have made an impact in some way."
โฆWHERE DO YOU SEE YOURSELF IN FIVE YEARS? TEN YEARS? TWENTY YEARS?โฆ
"In five years, I see myself still at the University of London in the London Business School. They had already looked at me once before, and I just see myself there. Not for any particular reason other than being able to say that I went to the best business school in the world. I have the grades for it and how many people can say they have my resume? So, I definitely see myself there, maybe find a nice apartment for myself there. Ten years later, I plan to have opened up Jauregui stores in Europe and maybe Asia. We have one in London and Paris, but I would love for them to be elsewhere. By then, I'll be in my late twenties and I would have liked to at least been in a long term relationship by then. I'm not desperate and I'm not choosy about gender, but success is definitely more tasty with someone by your side. In twenty years, my empire is a multi-billion dollar one and my children all have a secure future. I'd love to have kids, even without the guy or girl by my side. I just love kids and I want to be able to provide for them. I also would like to say that by this time, I've started a scholarship or started my own charity. I'd also love to say that I'm helping one of my siblings run IMG, but only time will tell."

โฆCHILDHOODโฆ
"I am a New York girl, forever and always. I see myself owning the massive house mi abuelo Alfonso owns there since he knows I have plans for it, but the point is that I'm from New York. And my childhood was beautiful, to be completely honest. My mom and dad met at a joint charity dinner on the Upper East side of Manhattan. She was attending NYU and he was originally following in his father's footsteps, just being a socialite at the moment while keeping his occupational options open. They meet, and it definitely wasn't love at first sight. More like lust, a lot of lust. Lust I really don't wanna think about 'cause I feel like barfing. Eventually, they fell for each other, enough to produce me in 1998. By then, my father was looking more into talent management and such, and she was just still trying to figure out her life. Anyway, after I was born, she moved to New York to be with him. They didn't marry until three years later, four months before the twins were born. But in between that time, I was their baby. I was one of the youngest of the grandchildren on both sides of the family and I loved both of my grandfathers. I never wanted for anything.
Then, by my eighth birthday, I learned to grow up just a bit. I had declared during a family dinner, rather proudly in my tiara and tutu with the fairy wand, that I was going to be a fashion designer. Specifically, I was going to be Coco Chanel when I grew up. Fabulous, wise and super awesome. My Dad thought it was cute and he didn't doubt me at all. My mom, she knew. She knew how serious I was, how I stopped playing so much with barbies and paid more attention their clothes. I was ripping off fabrics and trying to figure out what would go with each doll. I was sketching with mi abuelita in the middle of baking cookies, and eventually she showed them to my Dad. Who was wary, but talked to some people that he was close with. One of those people being the CEO of Marc Jacobs. He had already been working under IMG for those years and had made friends. So, after working together and him being impressed with what I was trying to do - and not believing it was mine until I just became downright adamant and a bit snappy about it - he relented and said that my work could be seen directly after his models during the New York Fashion Week show of 2006. It was on a Friday. I heard a lot of claps at one of my gowns, which my mom had helped me create, and I almost cried. It was after the last model went, revealing a shirt that had a cursive J on it that people thought it was from Marc Jacobs. But soon enough, we all clarified and before I knew it, I was becoming a household name. It was busy and I didn't really have much of a childhood after that, but my family did whatever they could to make that happen and I honestly have no regrets.
By 2009, when my Dad would be the co-founder of the William Morris Endeavor which is located in Beverly Hills, he and I moved to Beverly Hills. My brother and sister stayed with mom since they're enrolled at the Dalton School. I was getting homeschooled since I was always just really busy with designing and such, plus we were opening Jauregui stores in Malibu, Calabasas, and San Francisco. So, I wanted to be there for that and Mom stayed at the headquarters in New York."

She was just so sassy and kickass, and she literally could take your powers. No super powerful punch, just one touch and you're defenseless and she could use your shit against you. It was epic and she was always just really flawless to me. Which was why I was pissed at the X-Men movies and how Anna Paquin played her. She sucked and I hated her so much that I refused to watch True Blood or anything else she was in."

"Mis abuelos y mis abuelas are my loves and they have been utter constants in my life. Aunts and uncles come and go, some decide when they come around and others don't. But my grandparents have always made it their mission to be a part of my life, regardless of the disagreements their children have. We all know my parents are separated only because one's a control freak (mom) and the other is too prideful (dad) to admit when they might be wrong. And it's hilarious because you can see it in my grandparents' own relationships. Mi abuelo Alfonso was the most prevalent face in my life, mostly because he lived in New York. We lived in his gigantic home in Fairfield and he was the first to really take me seriously as a designer. But that doesn't take away from mi abuelo Castillo, whose middle name I took on as both my last name and the name of my company. He's always up for going on trips and is definitely the less severe of the two, but make no mistake. These two gentleman are businessmen with a shared sense of dark humor and a knack for getting on their wives' nerves. And let me tell you, when they dance - you'd think some of these boys in my generation were pigeon-toed!
Mis abuelas have always held the largest sway over their families. Like Beyonce said, things were ran by the man but the women kept the tempo. And surely enough, they did. They were matriarchs, mi abuela Lian still is. She's definitely the one that was made for her husband. While they both can be pretty serious at times, she reminds him to temper himself, learn patience, but she's also not afraid to hammer down. You don't know Cuban fire until you've met her. Mi abuela is hot like tamales and is not afraid to speak her mind or do as she pleases. My Dad says I get my boldness from her. Mi abuelita Angelica...I miss her so much and I'm honestly still hurting. She died of breast cancer the day before school ended, so you can imagine how I was during finals week. Luckily, I aced everything and I was excused for one final because I had such a high score in the class. But I had not mourned her yet. I hurried to Florida, helped the final arrangements, paid for family members to be flown in, helped with the cooking, and it was only when her body was being lowered into the ground that I cried. She was the one who taught me the love of baking, the love of love and being loved. She was gentle but with a somehow steady hand that never turned hard, but never gave leeway. I miss her more than anything and it took me this entire summer to attempt to get over her loss."

"As I tell anyone, there is no parent that I love more than the other. It was literally impossible for me, growing up, to love one more than the other and I still haven't found it in me. Taylor's def mom's baby and Christian just worships the ground that dad walks on me, but they are just my parents and I love them both equally. What I will say is that each of our relationships are different. They both are extremely protective, but Dad has mom beat by a thousand fold. No lie, he was the least bit happy about me being thrust into the limelight. Not that Dad never believed in me because he did, I knew he did - it was just that I was still his little girl. I still am and it bothers him having five thousand people following me when all he wanted was for me to have a normal childhood. At the end of the day, he's my Daddy. He used to check under my bed and in my closet every night twice despite my logically knowing that there was nothing there, we both loooove Captain Crunch cereal, and we will gladly board planes to visit each other and any given time because that's how much we miss each other. I hate that he's returning to New York, but I know that he's doing what he has to to provide for his family.
With my mom, we are blood and we are partners. If Kris K. is still considered Kim's momager, then my mom's definitely fitting the bill for me. She's also my co-CEO and the only person I will ever trust with that position. Don't get me wrong, she forgets that sometimes the lines of mom and partners should not be blurred and I do remind her that this is my company, but we've always been able to talk our problems away. Even if we go a day or two without speaking to the other. We're stubborn like that. But she's my mama and I know she hates my being alone on the West Coast, but I trust her to take care of things in New York while keeping me updated, and she trusts me to take care of myself. The one thing I've always loved is that my parents treat me like an adult. That's all I've wanted, I just also like being their baby sometimes."

"These are my babies whom I love to death. The twins! This is their freshman year in the high school sector of the Dalton School and I'm obvi super proud of them. They were born three years younger than me and I was so happy when they were. I finally had other kids to play with. My mom used to tell me that I would sleep in the middle of them during nap time and I used to help Taylor go to sleep at night because it always took her longer. Of course, I wouldn't say that we were absolutely perfect. No relationship is, no matter how much we wish it were. For one, I know that Chris feels like he needs to overcompensate. He's a star athlete, on the path to being president or vice president of the student council, an ambassador for the school, and he's doing so many great things. I never wanted him to feel in competition to me or like he needs to keep up in order to prove to Dad that he's worthy of being anything. Dad's not like that and I hate that that was the kind of standard I set, but I love my brother and I want what's best for him and I know that he's gonna succeed in life.
Taylor is my original bae. Her first word was my name, which warmed my four year old heart. She was always under me, even at fashion shows and during meetings. And getting older and despite being miles apart, she still is. We talk mostly every day and I know that she's in to music, so she doesn't really find me competition. Not that I ever wanted either of them to see me as that, but she at least understands that part of what is mine is theirs and that I will always love and care for them. So, she's been my baby. She's THE baby of the family, which she hates and I know she resents how protective mom and dad are over her, but I'm with them. Nothing happens to either of my siblings or the hell I reign down on a motherfucker will make the apocalypse look like child's play."

โฆLIVING SITUATIONโฆ
"A lot of kids in my position learn to resent the fact that they live in these gorgeous and huge homes with parents who are never there. And that was my problem. I was in a house that had seventeen bedrooms and for what? Me, myself and dust? Uh uh, your girl wasn't having it. So, I told my parents at the end of freshman year that I wanted to be on my own in a smaller place. Granted, it's only ten bedrooms less, but I'm appreciative and it's just really private, which I love. Overall, the moving in process has been absolutely lovely."
โฆFINANCESโฆ
"With all the shows, revenue from stores both on site and online, collaborations and the bit of modeling I have done myself, your girl has a net worth of $30 million. When they put that down, I literally cried. I can admit it, I was a wimp and I was proud of myself. Mid abuelos had also taught me the skill of placing my money in smart stocks, which helped add to my bank account. However, you might as well already call me a billionaire. Mis abuelos both have already told me that when I turn eighteen, they're going to put $12 billion each in my account. Plus, as a graduation gift, my parents both said that they were giving me $5 billion each. My mom had her own trust fund set up years ago by her father, but once my Dad and his partner became the CEOs of the International Management Group, he earned a networth of $25 billion. Plus, with my siblings and I slated to inherit the company, I see myself very secure in my future."

Bel Airโs closest property to the waterfront, Casa Lago recalls the great villas in Italyโs lake region with stunning 300-degree views and immaculate gardens chiseled into the hillside. The Italianate-inspired home measures approx. 25,500 sq.ft. with eight bedrooms and 15 bathrooms. Gorgeous arched doorways, custom woodwork, ornate carved stone moldings and stained glass windows blend with Persian Onyx, Italian Travertine, French limestone and rich mahogany for an atmosphere of complete refinement. Three floors spanning 25,500 square feet, connect by elevator and innovative smart home technology, with most rooms leading to magnificent terraces, loggias and views. A double-sided fireplace separates the formal living and dining rooms, each with French doors that reveal panoramic views and a terrace that stretches the length of house. A catering area and butlerโs pantry connects the dining room to the gourmet kitchen, complete with custom cabinetry, Wolf commercial range and double ovens, dual sinks, commercial size Sub-Zero refrigerator, pantry, wine fridge and a custom kitchen island draped in Persian onyx. The master wing is a haven unto itself. Enter through double doors and the elegant foyer to discover a kitchenette with espresso machine, fireplace, sitting area and of courseโsome of the most captivating views. Take your morning espresso on one of two terraces, or slip out for a quick swim in the infinity pool. The master bath, touched with Persian Onyx floors, has a steam shower, throne toilet and closet with custom built-ins made of American Walnut. The bath is also equally lavish with a vanity, steam shower, throne toilet, spa bath and spacious closet designed with custom Walnut built-ins and accessory islands.
On the lower level, youโll retreat into an entertainerโs paradise: a 1,060-bottle wine room, a billiards room with built-in bar and a 12-seat theater equipped with a Magnolia home theater system, as well as state-of-the-art lighting and audio. A nod to the ancient Roman baths, the mosaic-tiled indoor pool and spa both surprises and delights with state-of-the-art lighting effects, stained glass skylights and natural light filtering through a glass ceiling feature. Adjacent, there is a convenient bath, sauna, steam shower, dressing area and gym. Outside, Casa Lago beckons with its lakeside charms with unique water features, bridges that connect the numerous terraces, and hillside pathways that lead to gardens filled with roses, lavender and citrus and olive groves. An outdoor kitchen, crafted in Brazilian blue granite, and a bar area, made of Persian Red Onyx, invites endless entertaining. The infinity pool offers sweeping canyon, city and ocean panoramas. At every turn, Casa Lago delights and inspires, combining the grand style of Italyโs finest lakeside villas, with the awe-inspiring natural beauty above Bel Air.

"A lot of kids in my position learn to resent the fact that they live in these gorgeous and huge homes with parents who are never there. And that was my problem. I was in a house that had seventeen bedrooms and for what? Me, myself and dust? Uh uh, your girl wasn't having it. So, I told my parents at the end of freshman year that I wanted to be on my own in a smaller place. Granted, it's only ten bedrooms less, but I'm appreciative and it's just really private, which I love. Overall, the moving in process has been absolutely lovely."

"With all the shows, revenue from stores both on site and online, collaborations and the bit of modeling I have done myself, your girl has a net worth of $30 million. When they put that down, I literally cried. I can admit it, I was a wimp and I was proud of myself. Mid abuelos had also taught me the skill of placing my money in smart stocks, which helped add to my bank account. However, you might as well already call me a billionaire. Mis abuelos both have already told me that when I turn eighteen, they're going to put $12 billion each in my account. Plus, as a graduation gift, my parents both said that they were giving me $5 billion each. My mom had her own trust fund set up years ago by her father, but once my Dad and his partner became the CEOs of the International Management Group, he earned a networth of $25 billion. Plus, with my siblings and I slated to inherit the company, I see myself very secure in my future."

โฆHOW DO YOU FEEL GOING INTO SENIOR YEAR?โฆ
"On one hand, I haaaaaaaaate high school. With a passion too. But I'm honestly ready for it. You know, this summer was very emotional, I did something really stupid and I really hope I never do it again, and this year is really just important to me. Not just because it's my final year and after this is college or maybe deciding to go and just work on my line before being back in school again, but it's also for mi abuelita Angelica. She had been so happy earlier in the year, despite being sick, because we were one step closer to walking across the stage. And I remember her telling me over the phone as she got sicker that she was getting more and more upset that she might not be able to witness it. So, yeah, I'm looking forward to it, but it's really bittersweet."
โฆMOST LOOKING FORWARD TO?โฆ
"Duh, seeing my babes and walking across that stage."
โฆFEELINGS ON RETURNING TO B.H.H.S?โฆ
"I always have the same feelings when it comes to returning to Beverly Hills High. Honestly, it's just a big 'meh' for me. Again really excited about senior year. Excited about the drama that I won't be a part of, but you know I'll have first row seats to. This is honestly how I feel."
โฆFEELINGS ON CLIQUE?โฆ
"I'm a Royal. Whether or not you wanna admit it, but being a Royal is the goal that so many people have and sure, I feel absolutely honored that I have yet to have that role threatened. But let's be real, not all is peaches and cream here. We may look good on the outside, but don't let the Gucci fool you. Some of these girls are snakes and I'm not innocent, but I'm also not fake. Shady at times, but shading you only in the quiet of my mind. Never fake."
โฆDESIRED CLIQUE? WHY?โฆ
"We're being for real, for real? Ok, then I wouldn't change. The only role going up is a princess or queen, and I can't tell you enough how much I don't want this crown. I could rock it, but I never want that thing. It's too much and I already deal with being the center of attention outside of school, I don't need this. My Jauregui girls know that about me. I really just don't want that. On the flip side, if I had to change, I'd honestly just be a Prep. Still in the higher bracket of students, I'd have nothing to complain about. It's just that some of the Preps are even more snooty than the Royals. It's a lot. I wouldn't change."
โฆAVERAGE GRADESโฆ
"My grades have always been mostly As with a sprinkle of very high Bs. I can't say the same for Xavie, but Cs have never looked good to me and I know I deserve these As."
โฆSTUDY HABITS?โฆ
"This is how my business works. I design a lot with a set number of helpers who might be able to add their input. Most of the business stuff is handled by my mom unless I have already made specifications, but everything is finalized by yours truly. I'm meticulous and I make sure to add that same tenacity to school. Not completely since I hate being in classes, but none of my teachers have anything to complain about. As much as my office at home is filled with designs and what-have-you, my homework notes and such are strewn about in the exact same fashion."
โฆCLASSES TAKEN? GRADES FOR THOSE?โฆ
"Ugh, I'm not going through this list with you. Everyone knows what the classes are at the school. I passed them to not look at them again. Get out of my face with that."
Aaliyah has satisfied all of the requirements for each grade level she has completed, gaining mostly all As, A-'s, and only about four B+ grades that should have been As in her mind.
โฆCURRENT GPA?โฆ
" High school, in my opinion, just wants to make sure that you can follow instructions. You do that, complete the assignments the way the teachers want, and you pass. End of story. Some might struggle, I get that and it is hard because I honestly just wanna focus on my line and really putting myself out there, but I know how important school is to my family. Besides, my Dad would raise all types of hell and let me tell you, no child in our family has ever gotten below a 3.5."
4.0
โฆANY CLUBS? SPORTS?โฆ
"To the surprise of no one, I am a member of the Fashion Club. President, if we're being honest. I had no intention of joining a club here because I wanted to devote as much time as I could to visiting my stores, making sure they were running smoothly, and being ready for the next fashion event, but it's helped me with at least having a safe space outside of my home to work on my designs and I love being able to put on little fashion shows. It makes me feel good in between my bigger shows and it brings opportunities to my classmates. I'm more than happy to return my lovelies for my final year."
