That looks aren't everything

Explanation:

In the speech she talks about the role of looks and appearance in society, the impact it has in our lives and how she has managed to make a living out of it. She talks about the power of image, but also how superficial it is. She reveals how image is constructed by a large group of professionals in the industry she works in order to convey what they want, but in the end is a construction.
