New mum Camila Alves said she hopes people see a new side of her in her presenting role on Shear Genius.

Alves, 28, gave birth to her second child, daughter Vida, with boyfriend Matthew McConaughey, 40, on January 3. They also have an 18-month-old son called Levi.

She will soon take on the role of host on Bravo’s third season of hairstyling competition Shear Genius.

Talking about the role, she said: “I loved it because I was able to bring a [new] side of Camila… it’s like I want to see everybody doing their best and I want to see everybody succeed.

“I was able to bring that with me and I absolutely really loved it and one really cool thing to see was that by the end of the show, the contestants had respect and appreciation for me and I’m taking that with me wherever I go.”
