After years as one of Hong Kong’s leading supermodels, Cara Mcilroy has established herself and family on the Gold Coast, where she grew up. Her career across modelling, television and film spans over 20 years, featuring work with NatGeo, FoxLife, Channel V, and as a host on Asia’s Next Top Model.

Alongside her career in front of the camera, Cara is a qualified holistic nutritionist. In her personal search for balance and healing, she discovered matcha — which quickly became more than a beverage; it became a daily lifeline. This journey ultimately became the catalyst for launching her own ceremonial grade matcha brand, OHAYO, dedicated to the highest quality and traditional standards.

Cara and her partner, Jesper— a professional photographer and videographer— form a formidable creative team. Together, they love creating content with their three daughters, India, Freija and Noa, blending family life with authentic storytelling.

Cara has a following of 60K+ on Instagram, where she shares content centred around healthy living, balanced wellbeing, fashion, and family life.

She has collaborated with leading international and Australian brands including Tom Ford Beauty, MECCA, Nespresso, Armani Beauty, MYER, Scanlan & Theodore, Pandora, Seed and Seafolly.
