Alexandra Panagiotarou is redefining modern glamour — with brains, boldness, and unapologetic beauty. Often called “Greece’s Marilyn Monroe,” she blends style, ambition, and vulnerability in a way that captivates both the runway and the stage

Alexandra, people often refer to you as “Greece’s Marilyn Monroe.” But which historical woman do you personally identify with the most?

 It’s truly an honour to be compared to someone as iconic as Marilyn. However, if I had to choose a historical figure I personally identify with, it would be Cleopatra. She was powerful, independent, and mastered the delicate balance between femininity and strategy. Nothing about her was accidental — and that deeply resonates with me.

You run your own fashion brand. Which fashion trend speaks to you on an emotional level — and why? And when the cameras are off, who are you really? What does an unfiltered day look like?
While I love glamour, I feel a strong emotional connection to ’90s fashion — it carried a raw femininity and unapologetic character. When the cameras are off, I’m simply Alexandra: in sweatpants, without makeup, cuddling with my dog, and playing soft music at home. I enjoy taking care of myself, but I also treasure quiet moments away from the spotlight.

What changed in you after your first live performance at Parfait? Did it feel like a new beginning?
Absolutely. That stage had an energy unlike anything I’d ever experienced. I knew it was time to reveal a different side of myself — one that was more expressive, more artistic. It marked a new chapter, and one I had been yearning to begin.
