As an entrepreneur,[5] she is the founder of two brands.[6] Her namesake fashion label, Camila Coelho Collection, retails through e-retailer Revolve, and her beauty brand Elaluz[7] retails direct-to-consumer and through nationwide U.S. beauty retailer Ulta Beauty.[1] Together, both businesses generated more than $10 million during the year 2021.[8]

Following a photo taken during Paris Fashion Week in March 2023, British, Australian and U.S. media criticized Coelho for holding her baby son close to her hotel's balcony.[9][10][11][12]
