'Shadowhunters' Emeraude Toubia is a pageant winner turned stunt goddess with a passion for educating the young

Emeraude loves red roses, books, Ryan Gosling, and pizza in no particular order, and her fans can't help obsessing about the true kick-ass socially woke queen that she is.
PUBLISHED DEC 6, 2018

As a child, she was a trained dancer of classical ballet, flamenco, belly dance, and lyrical dance. As a teenager, Emeraude Toubia was crowned Miss South Texas, Miss Rio Grande Valley America, and Miss Teen Brownsville. At 29, she is one of the fan-favorite cast members of the widely popular Freeform show 'Shadowhunters', and has been so for the last three years. Yet that isn't all about the whip-lashing, tea-loving, Spanish-romance music enthusiast that is Emeraude Toubia.  

Born as an only child to parents of Mexican, Lebanese, and American descent, the stunning actress made her first onscreen appearance when she was all of 10 years old. Within the next 10 years, she had already been featured in advertisements for brands such as Maybelline, J. C. Penney, Sony, Garnier, and AT&T. But her big acting debut happened in 2013 after she had co-hosted the red carpet special for the 2013 Billboard Latin Music Awards.
