Kristina Tuckutė: Beyond the Runway and Into Hollywood’s Inner Circle

Before her marriage to the man who helped shape the King of Pop’s empire, Tuckutė carved out a distinct path in the competitive world of European high fashion. Born in Klaipėda, she began modeling at 14, eventually moving to Milan where she worked with luxury houses such as Giorgio Armani and Roberto Cavalli. Despite her success, she maintained a pragmatic view of the industry, often describing the fashion world as a "wild jungle" and warning aspiring models against its hidden dangers.

Seeking autonomy beyond the runway, Tuckutė transitioned into the beauty industry, spending three years developing her skincare line, OHM. The brand’s 2021 launch in SoHo marked a shift in her professional focus, proving her desire for a career defined by more than just appearance. After a period of intentional withdrawal from the public eye—a time she characterized as a necessary retreat to rediscover her own voice and priorities—she emerged with a refined sense of independence. Following her marriage to Branca in December 2025, she has embraced a life in Los Angeles, balancing her personal growth with a commitment to authenticity, all while raising her teenage daughter, Sasha.
