With her signature dark hair, radiant sun-kissed glow, and camera-ready confidence, Danielle Lovano was an undeniable standout in this year’s Summer Faces campaign by Hawaiian Tropic — a curated spotlight celebrating women redefining heat, power, and beauty around the world.

Chosen for her effortlessly exotic look, Danielle brought to life the sultry, sun-drenched energy that anchors the campaign’s aesthetic. “There’s something timeless about a woman who looks like she belongs on an island,” says creative director Karina Correa. “Danielle has that kind of effortless beauty you just can’t manufacture.”

Each frame tells a story of confidence, allure, and unapologetic femininity. From her piercing gaze to her sculpted hourglass silhouette, Danielle doesn’t just embody the campaign’s theme, she defines it.

When asked what being named a Summer Face of 2025 means to her, and how she defines beauty in her own words, Lovano shared:

“I’ve never felt the need to change my look — I just lean into who I am. The most beautiful thing you can do is embrace what you’ve been given and own it. That kind of confidence is more powerful than trying to look like anyone else.”

Styled using summer staples from Hawaiian Tropic and Bydee Swimwear, the shoot brought together natural island glamour.

This Caribbean inspired shoot was captured by photographer Nayo Martinez, whose luxe editorial work includes Sports Illustrated and Maxim.
