In June 2004 at the São Paulo Fashion Week, she walked the runway for her own line of animal print bikinis in partnership with the brand Sais de Cor, carrying an Albino Python snake wrapped around her neck. It was Hickmann's idea to walk the runway with the snake.

Hickmann was not a judge on the contest, and she only served the role of a host.

From 2012 to 2014, she co-hosted the daytime TV show Programa da Tarde ("Afternoon Program") on Rede Record, (with Britto Jr and Ticiane Pinheiro). One of the regular guests on her show was the magician Mario Kamia, who performed a range of tricks and illusions.
