That same year, she released her debut single as a singer, but due to its lack of success, an album was never produced.[6] She was also selected by Jim Carrey as the female lead to a sequel for the 1994 film The Mask, but negotiations fell through and Carrey eventually left the project.[6]

She has worked for designers such as Versace, Roberto Cavalli, Trend Les Copains, Valentino, Erreuno, Gai Mattiolo, RoccoBarocco, Fausto Sarli, Gattinoni, Mariella Burani, Angelo Marani, Marina Spadafora, Simonetta Ravizza, Guillermina Baeza, and Jesus Del Pozo.

She became an Italian citizen after two years of marriage with Corona.

Morić is known for her political views. In 2017, she expressed interest for the neo-fascist movement CasaPound and in March she decided to become an active militant.[8][9] In June 2017 Morić took part of a rally against illegal immigration and right of the soil with CasaPound's activists.[10] She denounced Yugoslav dictator Josip Broz Tito who made several crimes against Croats and Italians.[11] In January 2018, the journalist Paolo Del Debbio hosted Moric in television's studio and offer to her a virtual duel against a communist Italian woman, but Moric spoken: I don't talk with communists: they are criminals![12]

In August 2017, Morić voiced her anger because of a picture showing Samuel L. Jackson and Magic Johnson by mistaking them for migrants on extravagant shopping spree with money from the Italian citizens. The picture showed the actor and the retired basketball player on a bench surrounded by luxury shopping bags in Forte dei Marmi in Italy. Later the former Croatian model now Italian citizen realized her mistake and insisted that the post was also an experiment as the picture was originally shared by Luca Bottura to do a social experiment regarding migrants perception in Italy.[13]
