Talented since childhood
Ekaterina was born in Tashkent on May 26, 1986. Ekaterina Gershuni, like all girls, loved to play with dolls and sew clothes for them. Only her clothes were very different from the dresses sewn by her friends, and the girls often asked her to create a beautiful outfit for their toys.
Later, already in adolescence, the girl helped her friends select dresses, altered them, making them more unique. She always told my mother what clothes to buy, advised the best outfits that were more suitable for her.
Because of her love for creating dresses, the girl enrolled in a ballroom dancing school, since all the dancers' performances involved beautiful outfits. Ekaterina Gershuni sewed the costumes for her performances herself.
Education
Despite her hobby, the girl received her first higher education in a completely different field. She studied at the institute at the Faculty of Foreign Languages, and now speaks fluently in German and English. Oddly enough, this knowledge was useful to her in her further studies, because she went to England after graduating from the Institute of Art with a degree in imageology.
In London, Ekaterina Gershuni received knowledge in the world of design and fashion from the most famous image makers and couturiers. With new knowledge, the girl returned to Russia, and soon became a popular stylist.
Who is Gershuni
After returning home, Catherine began to be active. She signed contracts with Russian and foreign fashion houses, entered into collaborations with famous designers and celebrities, and came up with her own course “Image and Style,” which she teaches at the Beauty Academy.
On television, Katya was often invited as a fashion expert on popular programs dedicated to transformation and style. She appeared in “Bureau of Congratulations with Zhanna Epple”, in “Beauty Queen with Oksana Fedorova”, in “Good Morning”, in “Too Beautiful”.
At one point, she was offered to host her own show dedicated to fashion, “Gloss”. It aired on satellite television. Some time ago, the program “Ten Years Younger” became popular among viewers. Ordinary women from the street were invited to the shooting, and over a period of time they were transformed almost beyond recognition thanks to a change in image. The host of the show was Svetlana Abramova, and Ekaterina acted as the main expert stylist.
Working on television
Stylist Ekaterina Gershuni became famous among the masses for many television projects in which she was invited as a presenter or expert. So she can be seen in the project “Bureau of Congratulations with Zhanna Epple”, in “Good Morning” (fashion section), in “Beauty Queen with Oksana Fedorova”, on the MTV channel in the show “Too Beautiful”.

For the first time, a man, an admirer of Alexander Gradsky, took part in the “10 Years Younger” program
Katya GERSHUNI is an expert on the style of the Channel One program “10 Years Younger,” in which women of Balzac’s age change dramatically for the better before our eyes. Everyone who personally knows Katya is delighted with her positivity, unconventional outlook and frankness.
“I always liked creating beauty,” Katya Gershuni . — Since childhood, I sewed clothes for dolls from scrap materials, helped my mother select outfits, dressed all my friends at school, and came up with images for them. In her youth, she was engaged in sports ballroom dancing, and all because the participants of the competitions perform in bright and stylish costumes. By first education I am a teacher of English and German. Then she graduated from the Institute of Culture and Arts, Faculty of Imageology, and then went to study in England, at the world-famous University of the Arts London, which at one time produced very famous people from the fashion world.
— How did television appear in your life?
- Accidentally. I often watched programs about people’s reincarnations on Russian TV and dreamed of looking into the behind-the-scenes of these projects. One day, a film crew came to the beauty salon where I worked as a stylist. And my colleague, a hat designer, whom they came to record, could not clearly express the thought that was expected of him. I was called to help. As a result, editor Marina Khramova , who became my godmother on TV. I was invited to host the “Gloss” program on the cable channel. I realized that this was my chance: I was terribly worried, I studied the text that I wrote to myself, I thought about the images that I would create. Everything worked out, and after the broadcast, invitations to other channels began to arrive.
— By the age of 30, you have achieved a lot, although not everyone likes your bright image. Does it happen that you are accused of lack of taste?
“There are hundreds of beautiful girls on the screen, blondes with long curls, but there are not so many bright and charismatic women with short hair, flaming hair and glasses. Any person appearing on TV is discussed. But I’m sure that my image suits me, I came up with it myself.

— How do you choose heroines for the “10 Years Younger” program?
— We don’t have any cronyism in the selection of heroines. First of all, plastic surgeon Sergei Blokhin . He looks at the lady’s health status, her age, and determines whether, based on medical conditions, she will be able to enter the project. Then it’s the dentist’s turn. He must understand whether it is necessary and possible to do something with the applicant’s teeth. When it’s my turn, I vote for the ladies with the minimum or, conversely, maximum clothing size. It is clear that the slimmer the applicant, the easier and more interesting the work. Although I can choose an interesting outfit for a woman of any weight. Since at one time I myself wore a very large size.
- Really?
— Yes, I loved to eat delicious food, and I didn’t even notice how I began to weigh 86 kilos. And then I suddenly realized that I wasn’t eating right, and took care of my figure. I gave up starchy foods and sweets, and slowly the weight began to come off. Of course, I had to contact a nutritionist. He explained to me what interval should be observed between meals. What is better to eat in the morning, what in the afternoon, and what in the evening. How much water should you drink? The most important thing here is discipline and diet. As a result, in six months I lost 24 kilograms. The nutritionist was unhappy that this happened very quickly. After all, the slower you lose weight, the longer you can maintain the new weight. She turned out to be right. I suddenly began to get better again. And then my friend, psychologist Ksenia, came to the rescue and helped put everything into perspective. Now I have good motivation to be in shape: the screen adds at least five kilos, and my director often repeats: “When you lose weight, Katya, you just look great.”
— Were there any heroines in the program who were dissatisfied with the result?
— There were, because the final result is visible only after a year. We can't wait that long. We film the finale of the program approximately two months after the plastic surgery. I remembered a woman with whom we worked for a long time - her stitches did not heal for a long time, her teeth were very complex, her figure was not ideal. I really wanted to help her, because she had a tragic fate, her daughter was sick with cancer at that moment, she was undergoing difficult treatment, which, fortunately, gave positive results. We worked at our maximum, I put all of myself into her transformation, expecting that she would like everything. But at the end she went to the mirror and said: “I don’t like it!” It was as if the ground had disappeared from under my feet. And for my colleagues, this statement came as a shock, because we all saw that she really had become a beauty. There were tears, hurtful words, but time passed, and she apologized, noting that it took her time to get used to her new self.
— Do you argue with the co-hosts of the show?
- It happens. Sometimes, for example, I pick fights with surgeon Blokhin. He cuts from the shoulder, may inadvertently offend the heroines, but he always tells the truth. Sergei Nikolaevich is a great master of his craft, an experienced, educated specialist. Medicine is now at such a level that plastic surgery prolongs youth for many years. It’s great luck to get into our project; the heroines’ lives change dramatically. Even for the rich and famous, such a transformation costs a lot of money, and our participants don’t pay a penny. By the way, for the first time a man will participate in one of our upcoming programs. He is approaching 50 and has serious problems with his teeth. He came from the Kaliningrad region, where he works as a driver. He loves to sing, his cherished dream is to get into the “Voice” project and meet Alexander Gradsky . We realized that he is a purposeful person, and decided that he deserves to become the hero of the program.
Son David - mom's joy and dad's pride
— If everything is so wonderful, why did many celebrities, for example Lyudmila Gurchenko, look far from ideal after plastic surgery? But she made as many as 17 of them!
“It’s just that many women, so to speak, get hooked on the scalpel and stop assessing themselves objectively. Sergei Blokhin told me that he refused Lyudmila Markovna’s last operation, although he had corrected something for her more than once before. “If that’s the case, I’ll go to another surgeon,” the actress was offended. But at a certain age, plastic surgery is no longer worth doing. Gurchenko’s disastrous result : she could not completely close her eyes, she slept with them open, the skin was so stretched. And all because she didn’t listen to Blokhin and still had the operation.
“They say a woman is a reflection of her man.” Are you happy in your personal life?
- Very. I have been married for 11 years, we live in perfect harmony, we are raising our son David, he is nine. My husband Roman Gershuni is a psychoanalyst, a former restaurateur, a very versatile person.
We met when I was 17 and he was 27. I was then a first-year student at a pedagogical university. We first met at Luzhniki to celebrate Israel's Independence Day. I came there to perform folk dances (I was born in Tashkent into a large international family; we moved to Moscow in the 90s), and Roma is an Israeli citizen who worked in Russia under a contract. I didn’t immediately realize that he was my only one, I didn’t expect to meet my fate so early, but it turned out that way. My husband asked my father for his hand in marriage, I met his parents, everything was according to the rules. Roma made an unusual proposal: he said that he went to buy bread and returned with a ring. Then they had a beautiful wedding. At 21 I became a mother. Yana Gordeeva

Roman and Catherine’s relationship did not begin immediately, but only two years after they met. Throughout their family life they had a warm relationship.

The young people dated for 2 years, after which they got married. By the way, the stylist’s husband is an Israeli citizen and works in Russia under a contract.

Katya Gershuni and her son
In most photos, Gershuni appears in large glasses with bright frames, which have long become a distinctive feature of the stylist. Also, the TV presenter is not afraid to experiment with haircuts and styling and shares photos with fans in bold outfits and even lingerie or a swimsuit. In a word, an Instagram page is a working and PR tool. Since 2021, the image maker has been running his own YouTube channel, where he uploads videos of projects with his participation.
Gershuni, with a height of 170 cm, maintained a weight of no more than 60 kg. Due to pregnancy, she gained 25 kg, but thanks to proper nutrition she returned to her previous parameters. But after divorcing her husband, as the presenter herself admitted, she ate away at stress and in 2020 gained a lot of weight and did not lose weight, but decided to promote body positivity.
Catherine has a lover who is 6 years younger than her. In an interview, Gershuni stated that she wants to have another child.
Ekaterina Gershuni: height and weight
Surely, everyone who knows the stylist Gershuni has noticed the incredibly changing image of a woman. She either gets fat or loses weight. Katya’s height is 170 centimeters, and she considers her normal weight to be no more than sixty kilograms on the scale. Also, Ekaterina Gershuni simply loves to eat delicious food, and is a lover of the most unhealthy foods: fried, smoked, salted and fatty. One day, she discovered with horror that she had become the owner of as much as eighty-six kilograms of weight! This fact truly horrified her, and the woman decided to return her graceful figure no matter what. She turned to nutritionists and trainers for help. But, as Gershuni herself admits, she herself became the most important assistant in the struggle for a slender silhouette. She had to radically change her eating habits and take up intense sports. The efforts were not in vain, and after six months she was able to get rid of those very twenty-six kilograms that were unwanted.
Ekaterina Gershuni says that she was able to regain her normal weight only by overcoming herself. It was difficult for her to live without her favorite dishes and exhaust herself with exercise every day. She also says that she does not believe in diets, and it is not hunger that can help you lose weight, but proper nutrition, sports, and specialists developing a special program.
Returned weight
After Ekaterina and Roman decided to separate, stylist Gershuni began to get better again. As she said in an interview, she ate her depression and stress with food. As a result, her weight began to increase after that, and reached sixty-nine kilograms. This time, Ekaterina decided not to lose weight so actively, but to do it measuredly. You can follow her successes on Instagram, where Gershuni posts photos that show a positive trend. Now she has already managed to get rid of four kilograms, and is not going to stop there. The woman’s plans include reaching her usual sixty, and trying not to gain weight in the future.
Ekaterina Gershuni is not afraid to experiment with her appearance. Now she is known as a hot brunette, but just recently she was a cute blonde, and had a completely different hairstyle. The same applies to excess weight. Ekaterina is not afraid to gain weight; she knows that she can put herself in order again. The only thing is that now she has begun to deny herself another portion of fried food. The stylist now treats himself to his favorite food less often.
