With striking looks inherited from their high-profile parents, it’s no wonder that Alexandra Lamas, the first child of Lorenzo Lamas and Shauna Sand, shines just as brightly. Following in the footsteps of her glamorous parents, Alexandra has gracefully stepped into the modeling world. Yet, she sets herself apart by vocally championing the values of inner beauty and self-love. Many remember Lorenzo Lamas as the charismatic heartthrob of the 1980s, captivating audiences on “Falcon Crest.” Meanwhile, Shauna Sand carved her niche in the ’90s as a celebrated Playboy Playmate. Given this star-studded lineage, Alexandra’s entry into the world of modeling feels only natural. Her journey so far boasts impressive highlights, such as features in renowned fashion publications like France’s Malvie Magazine and Moevir Magazine, not to mention gracing the cover of Pump’s Summer 2021 issue.
Shauna Sand frequently expresses her pride for Alexandra on Instagram, sharing glimpses of her daughter’s work with enthusiasm. Lorenzo Lamas, equally proud, refrains from focusing solely on Alexandra’s physical beauty. Instead, he regularly praises her intelligence, character, and strong work ethic. During a candid 2024 episode of the “Media Path Podcast,” the “Grease” star admitted, “I never told [my daughters] how beautiful they were, not because I didn’t want them to hear it, but because I knew that’s what they would hear for the rest of their life.” He believes their alluring appearance is merely genetic, emphasizing, “It’s completely genetic! We have nothing to be proud of. […] What we have inside is the most important thing.” Furthermore, Lamas takes pride in the fact that his daughters have succeeded in forging their individual paths.
Alexandra Lamas’ busy life is a balancing act
Modeling is just one part of Alexandra Lamas’ professional journey. She’s also spoken about using that experience to help others, and even became a holistic health coach at one point. While great genetics obviously helped her get into modeling, in a moving 2024 Instagram post, she admitted that she’d tried to avoid it for a long time, instead striving for something more “normal” than her parents,’ and grandparents,’ careers. Alexandra studied psychology, but she ended up getting an opportunity to model after graduating. While that was very exciting in a lot of ways, she clarified, “It also reignited the perfectionism and pressure to please that had long been ingrained in me since childhood. As my career took off, so did the internal battles I had long suppressed.” Sadly, that brought on unhealthy expectations and body image issues.
Fortunately, as Alexandra went on to note, “Within this struggle, something changed. I started to recognize that the path I was on was not sustainable.” She added of her later decision to become a certified health coach, “Today, I channel my passion for health into helping other women navigate their own journeys of recovery.” Fast-forward to 2026, and Alexandra is a creative strategist, and continues to share her wisdom on balancing the different parts of oneself while healing online. In one Instagram post, she asserted, of being a creative, “If you’re a multi-passionate creative trying to build something meaningful, you’re not scattered, you’re powerful. The world doesn’t need another perfectly defined niche. It needs people brave enough to build something new.” The post included not just Alexandra’s words, but a selection of past photoshoots, too. She’s definitely forging her own path, and looking totally gorgeous while doing it.
