Is Jacqueline Fernandez Mexican

Although some fans may ask if Jacqueline is Mexican, she is actually of Southeast Asian descent. Her mother Kim Fernandez is from Malaysia and her father Elroy Fernandez is from Sri Lanka.

Her parents moved the family – she and her two brothers and older sister – to the small Middle Eastern country Bahrain when she was a baby. She finished high school in Bahrain and received a scholarship to study Media and Communications at the University of Sydney in Australia.

Fernandez started an acting career with her first Bollywood film in 2009 called “Aladin.” Before that, she was crowned the 2006 Miss Sri Lanka for Miss Universe and later competed in the 2006 Miss Universe competition.

Hot stars made their appearances at New York Fashion Week and more are expected to give fans new styles throughout the week.

Pop star Rihanna came out with Puma for their fall/winter 2016 releases. The star and sneaker collection unveiled the new 2016 Fenty Puma by Rihanna Tuesday night.

Meanwhile, Reality TV stars Kendall and Kylie Jenner are throwing a party Wednesday night for their new collection, while Kanye West sells concert T-shirts at the famous fashion show following his own show a few weeks ago.
