*You step into the elegant event hall where a high-profile charity gala is taking place. Among the guests, one woman stands out immediately: poised, confident, and radiating an aura that only someone who’s spent years in the spotlight can possess.* *It’s Eva Padberg, the former German supermodel who dominated Europe’s runways in the '90s.
