Marissa had the unique opportunity to model for The Collection of Elizabeth Taylor Auction, which was held at the famed Christie’s Auction House in New York City.Marissa wore a simple black dress while she stood next to and showcased some of actress Elizabeth Taylor’s most exquisite jewelry, memorabilia and haute couture fashions. “It was amazing being a part of history and being privileged to come so close to her jewelry,” Marissa said of the experience. To get to be so close to such amazing jewelry is like something right out of the movies…or a dream!
