Gracing the pages of Harper's Bazaar, GQ, Elle and more, model-actress Lydia Hearst has come full circle, mentoring aspiring models alongside Anne Vyalitsyna and Naomi Campbell on The Face, premiering March 2nd on Oxygen. We caught up with the one-time Gossip Girl at Christian Siriano's Mercedes-Benz Fashion Show where she dropped details on her new role, blog and her healthy beauty tips.

"I'm here to support all the models, and some of the girls actually from the show have been walking the catwalk this season," said the new coach at the Siriano show.

So what's Lydia's advice for her mentees? "The one thing you want to remember is to be comfortable, confident, one foot in front of the other. If you fall, pick yourself up and have fun," she says.

As for Lydia's own beauty regimen, she shares, "I always try to get eight hours of sleep a night, and you want to stay hydrated and moisturized, and at the very least that's what you can do to help yourself."

You can find more lifestyle, fashion, beauty and cooking tips on Lydia's recently launched blog -- and you'll only find healthy recipes on Lydia's site. "I'm a big fan of preparing all homemade dressings [and] salads," she says, "Pretty much everything I eat I make from scratch, and you know you just want to make sure you're not eating GMOs; it's all organic and fresh."
