Hello, sugar tarts I hope you are all doing amazing in your life ❤ Victoria Secret Angels are everybody’s sweethearts. They know exactly how to leave us spellbound with their ocean deep eyes, never-ending flawless legs, bouncing brunettes and ever glowing face. This post is about my all-time favorite Victoria Secret Angels.
Gigi Hadid:
Who doesn’t love Gigi? Gigi is the top-notch style icon which is driving all the teen girls crazy. Her sweet relationship with Zayn Malik was also one of the basic reason behind getting into much limelight as people loved this duet. Besides her beauty, she is also well-known for her strength and confidence. I am totally in love with her self-confidence and style. She is gorgeous in her photoshoot and an absolute diva on the ramp. I love her ❤
Hadid revealed in 2014 that she was diagnosed with Hashimoto’s disease, and reiterated this in 2016.
Vitalii Sediuk assaulted Hadid in 2016, and she was commended for how she defended herself from him.
Kendall Jenner:
Kardashians! We all know the fantastic Kardashians. Kylie Jenner is the only person whom I love the most among the Kardashian’s family. She is a top-notch model and the elder sister of cosmetic’s diva Kylie Jenner. Kendall never fails to amaze the crowd by her stunning appearance. She always has this bold and confident yet mature look on her beautifully bone carved face. Paris! London! New York! Milan! The star is earning her model stripes with major runway outings at Chanel, Givenchy and more.
Cara Delevingne:
Paper Town’s Queen, Cara Delevingne is the one I would have married if I were a boy 😀 This lady is a fabulous diva with eyebrows and almost everything on point. I am amazed by her beauty and boldness. She is my sheer role model. Delevingne is openly bisexual.
At the Women in the World summit in October 2015, Delevingne spoke about her battle with depression which started when she was 15 years old. It was triggered when she discovered her mother’s drug addiction as a teenager. She found help at the age of 16. She left school for six months and agreed to go on medication, which she said might have saved her life. In 2017, she revealed that she also has ADHD, for which she has received treatment ever since she was a child. The backing vocals she sang on her then-girlfriend’s album was on the song Pills, where she sang the lyrics, “Pills to wake, pills to sleep, pills, pills, pills every day of the week / Pills to walk, pills to think, pills, pills, pills for the family / Pills to grow, pills to shrink, pills, pills, pills and a good stiff drink / pills to fuck, pills to eat, pills, pills, pills down the kitchen sink.”
Delevingne also has dyspraxia and found examinations difficult whilst at school.
Bella Hadid:
Gigi Hadid’s younger sister Bella is known as Rani of the ramp.
Every supermodel has her signature face, and Bella Hadid is no exception. Since breaking into the modeling industry, the 21-year-old has been known for her high-cheekbones, pursed-lips gaze. And though the look has made her bank as a model, Bella isn’t happy with the way that it’s morphed the public’s perception of her—specifically, into thinking that she’s “mean” or a “bitch.”
In an interview with Harper’s Bazaar, Bella opened up to her older sister, Gigi Hadid, about being called “mean” on her social media because she’s rarely seen smiling. The sisters landed on the topic when Gigi asked Bella about the thing that fans would be surprised to learn about her. “That I never go a day without smiling,” Bella said.
But that doesn’t mean that comments don’t hurt. Bella went on to open up about how the public’s perception of her affected her for a very long time, especially when people would judge her based on a few pictures. “For a while, I fought a lot of battles—with myself, with people online—and it brought me down,” Bella said. “When people would say, ‘Oh, she’s so mean,’ I wanted to say, ‘Maybe I’ve just had a bad day! Or maybe I’ve just been crying.’ You never know what people are going through.”
Bella also addressed the fact that a lot of her paparazzi photos also show her not smiling. She suggested the stress of the paparazzi causes her to withdraw in herself, which makes it hard for her to smile authentically. “They see such a small piece of our lives, like paparazzi photos of us leaving the house. You know how awkward that is? To walk out of your own home and have 40 people waiting outside. And then you need to smile at random strangers,” Bella said.
Bella has a point. Pictures only offer a snapshot of someone’s life and personality, so to judge someone based on a moment in time is ludicrous. Just because Bella has made what might call a “bitch face” her signature look, doesn’t mean that she’s mean in real life. We hope haters hear Bella’s words and stop prejudging her.

Behati Prinsloo:
Prinsloo is best known for her work as Victoria’s Secrets lingerie model. She appeared in nine Victoria’s Secret Fashion shows from 2007 till 2015 and became a Victoria’s Secret Angel in 2009 and has been the face of Victoria’s Secret PINK line since 2008. She also is a brand ambassador for Seafolly since 2012 and Pepe Jeans since 2014. Prinsloo has appeared on the covers of international fashion magazines including Vogue, GQ, and Elle among others. She was discovered at age sixteen by modeling agency head, Sarah Doukas while on holiday in Cape Town, South Africa. She has been married to Adam Levine since July 19, 2014. They have one child. Prinsloo is absolute beauty and while going through her pictures, I was drooling over my laptop like how could anybody be this much beautiful? 😀
Joan Smalls:
Smalls has the fortitude, but she’s also just plain strong: an athlete in front of the camera, her body is her tool. She suffers from scoliosis, and to manage the pain, she works out like a Trojan, at the gym in her building, with a trainer, and at a class called Bodyburn.
Smalls wasn’t always so lavishly appreciated. Today, makeup artist Tom Pecheux refers to her coloring as “that gold skin tone that everybody would pay to have.” Ferretti says, “Her skin tone alone—I don’t know what it is, it’s so beautiful.” But before it became a trademark, it was an issue. (That is not a sentence that should be written in the twenty-first century, by the way, but there it is.) “I made a list of agencies and went to all the open calls,” Smalls remembers. “One of the agents looked me over and said, ‘Joan, I’d love to represent you, I think you’re great, but you have to straighten your teeth.’ ” She was perplexed. “Why do I have to straighten my teeth?” she asked. “I see models with crooked teeth all the time.” The agent looked her square in the face: “Joan, those models are Caucasian, and you’re not. You’re a black model. And it’s already a challenge.”
Smalls’ response to the evaluation? “I wasn’t bothered by it,” she says. “I appreciate honesty. I don’t like people beating around the bush.” At this, she pauses, twisting a napkin into a tight little roll and bonking it on the table for emphasis. “I thought, You know what? I’m going to take that as constructive criticism. I’m going to take my ass back to Puerto Rico, straighten my teeth, and come back.” She did exactly that, enrolling in college while her teeth were in braces and graduating magna cum laude with a bachelor’s degree in psychology, because why not? She still laments missing summa cum laude “by two points!” In other words, the maturity and intelligence Smalls radiates in pictures is no act. She has navigated this career from a position of relative power—that of a bona fide, degree-holding grown-up. “Frankly, Joan is really smart,” says Ferretti. “She doesn’t do anything by accident. She’s intelligent and clever, and a good businesswoman—she has a lot of ands—and that’s a rarity.”

Candice Swanepoel:
This South African beauty and a mother of two is an amazingly beautiful lady. Candice is beautiful, charming and full of life 🙂 She is fluent in Afrikaans, English, and Portuguese, the last of which she learned from her boyfriend, Hermann Nicoli, a Brazilian model. She has been dating him since they met in Paris when she was 17. In August 2015, the couple announced their engagement. In March 2016, it was reported that she was pregnant with the couple’s first child. On October 5, 2016, she gave birth to a son, Anacan Swanepoel Nicoli, in Vitória, Espírito Santo, Brazil. As of 2018, she reportedly lives in New York City.
In December 2017, she announced that she was pregnant with her second child, another son. On 19 June 2018, she gave birth to her second son, Ariel Swanepoel Nicoli.
Miranda Kerr:
Want to see simplicity and glamour in one body? Have a look at Miranda Kerr. With her gorgeous looks and easygoing nature, Australian model Miranda Kerr has taken the fashion world by storm in recent years, appearing in major campaigns and magazines the world over. “We love her because she has the most incredible girl-next-door look and she’s also insanely beautiful,” says one leading photographer about her appeal. “It means women are not intimidated by her looks and guys think they might be able to talk to her. It’s a fantastic combination.”

What does these Victoria Secret Angels teach us?
If despite being very kind and softspoken supermodel, Bella Hadid is labeled with titles like bitch and lifeless just because she doesn’t smile much in her shoots, despite being a sheer beauty and jackpot moneymaker, Cara Delevingne is suffering from depression and anxieties, despite being the most perfect face in the world, Joana Smalls never got a lavish appreciation, then who are we? How much limelight do we get throughout the day? How many Paparazis are clinging to us? How many hours do we have to stand still in front of the camera or walk with aching back and shoe bites for hours and hours? These supermodels teach us that its okay not to be okay sometimes. I would like to say that with greater recognition comes greater criticism. They also give us a beautiful lesson that
This world will always say something… Because people are meant to say! So don’t bother what they say and don’t go out of your comfort zone to get the stupid approvals from people who don’t even know that inside every human is a heart beating.
Looking at the optimistic facet, Gigi Hadid never gave up despite her disease diagnosis and depression. She is totally fantastic and is a motivation for a million of girls out there. Kendall Jenner faces a lot of hate and rudeness just because she is a Kardashian and people call Kardashians the fake humans who only know how to create drama. Kendall never gave up and she is one of the most influential celebrities on social media along with her sister Kylie Jenner. Miranda and Candice are managing their career brilliantly alongside their kids and are also having a happy married life. This is the spirit that we all should be having in our lives. You ain’t perfect, nobody’s perfect! You will see many people who are better than you, stronger than you, sharper than you and prettier than you so what? Just imagine how much hard work and pain they must have gone through in order to achieve this respect and status. Learn from people around you, praise them and try to adopt the positive plus points of the people rather than falling into deep pits of depression and being an inferiority complex. You are beautiful just the way you are. Just keep moving forward on the journey of learning and development. Make your thinking constructive and you will achieve your goals and dreams with flying colors.
Working at Pixar you learn the really honest, hard way of making a great movie, which is to surround yourself with people who are much smarter than you, much more talented than you, and incite constructive criticism; you’ll get a much better movie out of it.

Keep your chins high munchkins, Cheers ❤
