Stella Maxwell and Victoria's Secret
Victoria's Secret is world's sexiest underwear brand, so becoming a Victoria's Secret Angel is a career goal for models all around the world. Famous faces such as Miranda Kerr, Lily Aldridge, Candice Swanepoel and Adriana Lima have all proudly represented the brand, donning the infamous angel wings in campaigns and in the annual fashion shows. Now, Stella is the first British model to join the alumni.
In 2014, Stella walked in the annual Victoria’s Secret fashion show in London, but in 2015 was given her wings. She told Vogue that she was nervous when casting for Victoria's Secret because they pick the sexiest girls and she didn't have long to show them her personality.
