Johanna's answer made me aware that you may not use the verb "kann" in your first sentence - so the verb you use in the second one depends on that of course.
I suppose you could say "Keiner sieht ... (see Johanna's suggestion). Und ob sie das tut".

I think I see Michael's point (though I'm not sure this is always the case), so I'll adopt Vera's suggestion if I may: Und wie sie das kann!

Ingeborg Gowans: und wie sie das kann ist auch gut!

neutral

Michael Schickenberg: Bin gegen die Variante mit "ob", da sie auf den 1. Blick auszudrücken scheint, dass davor etwas Gegenteiliges gesagt wurde. Absolut mit Veras Vorschlag!

-> Danke Michael - ich weiss was Du meinst, obwohl es glaub ich in diesem Kontext nicht missverstaendlich waere. Aber ich bin hier nicht die Muttersprachlerin, also schliess ich mich auch Veras Vorschlag an.

can she ever wie sonst keine/wie keine andere

Explanation:
just another idea (they all work):

Kate Moss traegt ein Designer Abendkleid wie sonst keine/wie keine andere.

Kate Moss versteht es, ein Designer-Abendkleid zu tragen wie sonst keine/wie keine andere.

(there's a book about Simone Beauvoir "Sein wie keine andere" ;-)
