We get up close and personal with her in an exclusive interview:

Beverly Hills Magazine: What inspired you to launch Star Icon magazine, and how has it evolved into a global platform for artists and entrepreneurs?

Maria Alvares: Before creating my own publication, I gained extensive experience collaborating with renowned international magazines in France, New York, Los Angeles, Italy, Russia, Spain, Canada, Amsterdam, and more. Since childhood, I have been passionate about photography — I started working at a photo studio at 14, and the art of photography has always been close to my heart.

At the same time, I was pursuing a path as a musician, so the magazine naturally united the creative sphere. I thought it would be wonderful to create a platform not only to showcase photography but also to reveal the talents of other musicians. Over time, my circle kept expanding — it began to include talented and well-known designers, actors, and entrepreneurs — and I gladly started inviting them to take part as well.

Beverly Hills Magazine: As a platinum-awarded singer fluent in English, Russian, and French, which language feels most authentic when composing your music?

Maria Alvares: I prefer to write in English and Russian — these languages feel the closest to me. But I would also love to try performing something in Spanish.

Beverly Hills Magazine: You’ve graced Times Square billboards and Playboy covers—how do you balance the worlds of high fashion modeling and business leadership?

Maria Alvares: On Times Square, I was representing my own publication. I already had significant experience as a model, as well as skills in design and photography. My work in these areas is deeply interconnected — each complements the other, allowing me to develop both my own creative talents and my magazine at the same time.

Beverly Hills Magazine: From “Queen of Gloss” to “The Diamond Queen,” which of your royal titles resonates most with your personal philosophy?

Maria Alvares: “Queen of Gloss” best matches my philosophy. I’ve spent countless hours personally designing and developing the concept for each issue. I absolutely love creating covers and working on new editions of the magazine.

Beverly Hills Magazine: In your Beverly Hills Magazine interview, you said, “Every pain becomes energy to move forward.” Can you share a specific challenge that fueled your biggest breakthrough?

Maria Alvares:Several years ago, I suffered a severe vocal injury and completely lost my ability to speak for two years. It was accompanied by immense physical and emotional pain — I lost a lot, and my life was literally falling apart. But at that point, I realized that when everything collapses, you must save yourself. And I did — by helping others.
I began offering written consultations as a psychologist, supporting people who, like me, were on the edge. That helped me get through the hardest times. Later, I started giving consultations in a whisper, and eventually, I was able to return to recording new musical singles and albums.

Beverly Hills Magazine: How do you select visionaries and artists to feature in Star Icon, and what qualities make someone a true “star icon”?

Maria Alvares:For me, the personality of the hero is the most important — their charisma, talent, achievements, and success. The people we feature are always sources of inspiration. We highlight their most significant accomplishments and strengths so our readers can discover new goals and dreams through them.

Beverly Hills Magazine: With awards like “The Most Beautiful Woman” and #1 in “Top Most Beautiful and Sexy Models,” how do you define beauty beyond the surface?

Maria Alvares: For me, beauty is a subjective concept. Something becomes beautiful when it resonates with our heart and soul — when it holds special meaning personally for us.

Beverly Hills Magazine: Your philanthropy supports children with disabilities—what inspired this cause, and how can fans get involved?

Maria Alvares: My mother cannot walk; she suffered a spinal injury at the age of 20. Despite that, she gave birth to me and went on to lead a disability organization as its chairwoman. There are children in her organization, and I grew up witnessing all of this. That’s why it’s so important for me to support her and the members of her organization whenever I have the opportunity.

Beverly Hills Magazine: As CEO, how do you incorporate art, culture, and luxury into every issue of Star Icon magazine?

Maria Alvares: We divide the magazine into sections and features, but every detail — from the font to the choice of printing paper — is of the highest quality. Each new issue is unique: we change the columns and even choose special categories for each featured hero in a one-of-a-kind format.

Beverly Hills Magazine: Looking ahead, what exciting projects—music releases, magazine expansions, or collaborations—can fans anticipate from you in 2026?

Soon, we’re recording a new song with the well-known artist Arthur Bogdanov, a film and theater actor — a real-life Zorro. If our collaboration goes well, we may record a small album together.
I’m also working on a rock project — the band AETHERIA, which currently includes myself as vocalist and songwriter, and rock star Vladimir Ptashnik on bass. Vladimir has shared the stage with bands like Tarja Turunen, Papa Roach, Cradle of Filth, Aerosmith, Limp Bizkit, and others. Another friend, Fyodor Konovalov, a seasoned drummer, is also part of the group. We’re preparing a rock album and considering future concerts — though for now, we’re just at the start of this exciting journey.
