The supermodel believes a cause of "unnecessary stress" is being concerned about fitting in and being "accepted", so she'd rather celebrate what makes everyone unique. 

She told Elle US, "We believe that we have to look a certain way or do a certain thing to be accepted, but that's not the case and that's unnecessary stress." 

"We have to be at peace with who we are because we are unique and special. Remember, there is only one you. There are seven and a half billion people on the planet, but there's only one you so honour that. Cherish that. You are special," she added.
