She's an actress, supermodel, author and now…YouTube star?

The Molly Sims Official channel featuring all things fashion, beauty and wellness content launched on the popular video platform Tuesday afternoon.

A video channel may seem somewhat amateur for the Las Vegas star, but in fact, teaming up with StyleHaul, the largest fashion and beauty network on YouTube, is a step toward world domination—or at the very least, provides attainable ways for women to become an everyday supermodel, Molly Sims says.

"It's an exciting time—digital content is influencing fashion and beauty," the 41-year-old tells E! News. "On YouTube, you can be you. You're not filtered. You're not photoshopped."

The expectant mother—who looks flawless in her first videos—shares access to her personal life, features interviews with other YouTube sensations like Lindsay Albanese and Carly Cristman, and provides simple how-tos, from healthy recipes to styling tips.

"[The channel] is my book coming to life," she says.

The former Sports Illustrated model also recently released a tome entitled The Everyday Supermodel: My Beauty, Fashion, and Wellness Secrets Made Simple. Yes, it includes easy tricks to elevate an outfit, ways to tie a scarf and how to take a morning cup of Joe to the next level (cinnamon may or may not be the trick), but she also insists that reaching model status requires hard work and challenge. In fact, she practices everything her channel preaches.

"I can do a fishtail braid," the actress proudly touts. "I can do a smoky eye. My bun is good, and I can do it in 30 seconds."

"As a style expert, I tried to pull out my best fashion tricks, and she already knew most of them!" Lindsay adds.

So what can't she do? Wear cap sleeves, princess dresses and padded shoulders, apparently.

"And anything very structured…Mama can't wear them," says the model.

Seven months pregnant, Molly, who has yet to decide on a baby name, did however make an appearance at a Golden Globes after-party in a yellow A-line Lisa Perry dress.

How to do actually comfortable, actually chic maternity style? You'll have to tune into Molly's YouTube channel to find out.
