CRYSTAL BELLOTTI: Becoming the “It girl” of e-commerce, back to back bookings and balancing work & life

This week we welcome the unstoppable Crystal Bellotti!
Known as the “it girl” of e-commerce, Crystal’s face is a staple across countless e-boutiques, and her meteoric rise over the past year has made her one of the most sought-after models in the industry. If you’ve shopped online, chances are you’ve already seen her stunning face.
In this episode, Crystal takes us behind the scenes of her journey—from being scouted to dominating the e-commerce circuit. She opens up about her bold decision to relocate to Melbourne, the whirlwind of being booked back-to-back, and the reality of early call times, long shoot days, and jet-setting between shoots.
We also dive into her personal life, exploring how she balances a hectic career with her relationships, the impact of constant travel on her mental health, and how her partner Nat has been her rock through it all. Crystal also shares her favourite shoot locations, her proudest modelling accomplishments, and what’s on her bucket list for 2025.
But there’s more to Crystal than her glamorous career. She shares her experience living with dyslexia, how it shapes her daily life, and the resilience it’s taught her.
