“Growing up, I just remember them always having these little old wives tales about their skincare like, ‘Rub this tomato on your face, like it’ll be good for you,’ or ‘Take this aloe vera and put it on after the sun’”. Inspired by her mother and grandmother from an early age, skincare is something that Ayesha Curry has grown up to prioritize. From putting out tutorials on her skincare routine and even roping in Stephen Curry for the same, to creating a business model out of it through her Sweet July brand, Ayesha continues to highlight her love for the art of maintaining one’s skin. Therefore, it was certainly a treat to see that her work with skincare gained an expansion through another brand. More than that, however, it was a hidden fact about the expansion that made this collaboration stand out from her previous ones.
Ayesha Curry recently took to her Instagram account to highlight that she has become the first individual to appear on the cover of Haute Beauty, a section of the luxury lifestyle publication Haute Living. Alongside a post that carried her cover photo, she also wrote a caption that read, “We shot this several months ago when I was suuuuuper postpartum. I was nervous then but now I’m grateful that I have this memory. Time is truly fleeting”.

Since its launch back in 2004, Haute Living has worked alongside several renowned celebrities like Camille Kostek, Kevin Hart, Kaley Cuoco, Kevin Bacon, etc. The Haute Beauty section of the lifestyle magazine is reportedly responsible for covering any recent advancements in the field of beauty and wellness. The ‘Haute Beauty Guide’ even reportedly describes itself as the “ultimate destination for skincare and beauty wisdom.” Therefore, collaborating with this brand has certainly placed Ayesha Curry as someone who holds a unique beauty standard.
Moreover, her participation in the photoshoot shortly after Caius Chai’s birth and during her postpartum period is a testament to her commitment. Both of these instances are important feats, and several of Ayesha’s fans wanted to remind her of the same.
How did fans react to Ayesha Curry becoming the face of Haute Beauty amidst postpartum complications?
While Stephen Curry did not leave a comment, he did like the post. Joining him in the action were other renowned names, like comedian and actress Robin Thede. Despite this, there was still no absence of remarks from fans. One of them praised Ayesha by writing, “I pray for your family everyday”. If there was one message that could make the day better for the 35-year-old, then it is certainly that one.
Postpartum depression is something that Ayesha Curry has experienced before. ‘Good Morning America’ and ‘Women’s Health’ covered Mrs. Curry’s quotes about what she developed after the birth of Ryan Curry. She reportedly became conscious about her body and stated that she “felt like a failure”. After Caius Chai’s birth, Ayesha revealed that “I lost my taste buds for nine months”. Even at that stage, being all photogenic for the camera was nothing short of impressive.
Laura Schreffler reportedly covered the story and booking for Ayesha Curry’s Haute Beauty piece. She wrote in the comments, “You’re such an incredible, inspiring person – and so lovely to work with!”. The comment was accompanied by a heart emoji.
Despite being a homemaker, Ayesha Curry has also developed connections in several other fields. She owns a restaurant chain alongside celebrity chef Michael Mina. She has authored two cookbooks, hosted shows, and continues being an active part of the ‘Eat.Learn.Play’ foundation alongside the Warriors star.
Therefore, she is certainly someone who knows how to work in a professional setting. Something that she remembered despite her postpartum troubles.
