By now everyone is familiar with model Natalia Vodianova's fairy-tale-esque rags-to-riches biography. Maybe her modest beginnings as a child fruit vendor in her Russian village are the reason she's managed to retain a genuine warmth that most shed when they reach her stratospheric level of success.

Beyond her winning personality, Vodianova is clearly a Type A multitasker when you consider the myriad fashion-forward hats she wears–founder of Naked Hearts Foundation, a charity that works to improve the lives of disabled children in her homeland; the face of Calvin Klein's Euphoria fragrance and various other fashion campaigns; the mother of five, count 'em, five kids ranging from 14 to infant. And yet, despite the balancing act her busy life clearly requires, she found time to get hands-on with Guerlain to create its holiday collection, a dreamy, sparkly ode to India. Here, Vodianova discusses her favorite holiday tradition, trying to look older, and the secret to "dancing arms."
