While Doré enjoys traveling and has lived in several places over the years, she’s originally from Corsica, an island off the coast of France.

In anInstagram postfrom September 2019, she opened up about growing up on the island and her experience of returning to it after exploring other corners of the globe.

“I LOVE coming back, taking it in, reminiscing & romanticizing my childhood,” she captioned a black-and-white landscape photo. “We would fish, hike, swim, our village was a giant playground.”

Doré added, “Today I still have a profound connection to nature, a deep bond with my island, and I am proud, warm and a liiiiittle bit slow like a true Corsican - but I also love my American lifestyle and my friends from all over the world.”

She’s an illustrator, photographer and author

Doré launched her eponymous blog in 2006, which led to opportunities as a street-style photographer and fashion commentator. During an interview withFashionistain August 2017, Doré said she created her blog as a way to get her sketches in front of others.

“I wanted to start blogging because I needed an outlet to share my illustrations,” she told the outlet. “I was kind of frustrated; I thought there must be a better way to progress as an artist and to show my work than just waiting for my illustrations to appear in magazines.”

Doré’s blog evolved into a website called Atelier Doré, where readers voiced their opinions on fashion and other lifestyle topics, per Fashionista.

As her online presence grew, she decided to share her work through a different medium. In 2015, Doré released herNew York Timesbest-selling bookLove Style Life, which blended her illustrations and photography to capture different chapters of her life.

That same year, she decided to step away from the fashion world. “I was completely burned out. Believe me, I never accept change as a heroine—strong and determined,” Doré toldL’Officielin December 2020. “But in this case, I was committed to it because I felt like I couldn’t grow anymore.”

Two years later, Doré launched her podcastLe Rendezvousand uploaded weekly episodes until summer 2023. Today, she hasa newsletterand runsa private online community.

McTavish and Doré first met on the dating app Raya. Speaking withVoguein March 2023, the pair said without the platform, it’s unlikely that they would’ve crossed paths.

“I managed to slip through her algorithm, as she had forgotten to exclude men who resembled grumpy, bearded grandfathers!” he joked to the publication. “I also pretended that I lived in L.A., when I was only visiting because I didn’t want to put her off.”

After dating for a year and a half, McTavish proposed to Doré on Aug. 23, 2022, in Edinburgh, Scotland.

During their interview withVogue, Doré revealed that she was expecting the special question as the couple had discussed marriage early in their relationship.

“I couldn’t wait to get engaged,” McTavish explained. “I’m amazed I waited as long as I did before asking her!”

They married in Scotland in 2023

McTavish and Doré wed in January 2023 at Borthwick Castle in Scotland.

Speaking toVogue, Doré revealed that theOutlanderstar planned “98 percent” of their nuptials. “He is definitely the master planner between us," she said. “I asked him if we needed a wedding planner, because the whole thing was freaking me out, and he said, ‘A what?’ ”

“I literally feel like he gave me the wonderful present of making a dream come to life,” Doré toldVogueabout McTavish planning their wedding. “I feel complete, and whenever I think about it, so many emotions come up … I wouldn’t do it any other way.”

McTavish added, “I was also so pleased to see how many people who came to the wedding arrived not necessarily knowing each other but left the celebration wishing to stay in touch.”

She co-founded a skincare brand

In 2022, Doré founded a skincare brand called Doré with her co-founder, Emily Yeston. The skincare line, which features cleansers and moisturizers, is all made in France, perthe brand’s website.

Speaking toBeauty Independentin June 2022, Doré opened up about the inspiration behind her skincare line.

“I spent a lot of years on the road and I could never follow a very complicated routine," she explained. “I think this is very French, but I’m somebody that will use my red lipstick as a blush on my cheeks when I’m traveling and I don’t have all my stuff.”

Doré continued, “So, I really like products that are very simple and can do many good things. The line was based on the idea that you don’t need a ton of things to do great work because what your skin needs is simple and effective.”

She loves to travel
