Victoria’s Secret model Victoria Lee on hair spray challenges and her next big job

After being tapped for her very first Victoria’s Secret runway in 2017, which airs tonight in Australia, it seems the world is Victoria Lee’s oyster.

David Jones announced Lee as their newest ambassador days after filming for the show finished. The Narrandera native spoke to Vogue about the challenges of walking the Victoria’s Secret show for the very first time and what it means to the model to be working for the iconic David Jones.

What does it mean for you to be tapped by a brand like David Jones?

“It’s incredible - I’m still pinching myself. David Jones is such a loved, iconic and trusted Australian brand. To be a part of the David Jones family and to follow in such inspirational footsteps as Megan Gale and Miranda Kerr is a real honour and I’m thrilled!”

Tell us about your Victoria's Secret debut - what were the highlights?

“The highlight was working with all the talented people involved. So much work and effort goes into the show behind the scenes - it’s 12 months of planning. So simply to be involved in the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show is amazing. Also the girls I was there with - we spent four days together in Shanghai. I feel so lucky to have enjoyed my first show with such a lovely group of girls. So warm, encouraging and welcoming.”

What was the best advice you received from your fellow models?

“Adrenalin will carry you! Don’t stress about your shoes! We are all in the same boat and it is challenging - just do your best. And have fun!”

Was there anything about walking in the 2017 VS show that surprised you?

“How much fun it was!! Of course I had butterflies but I thought I would be more nervous or anxious. When I was standing backstage and during practice runs I was just having a really good time and ready to go.”

How long did it take you to de-Victoria’s Secret yourself after the show?

“This year there were no tans. So that wasn’t an issue but I did have a lot of hair spray to get rid of!”

What's the biggest lesson you've learnt form VS that you will take with your throughout your career?

“Be confident. Be yourself. Enjoy the moment.”

Gigi Hadid shares her thoughts on Victoria's Secret after missing out on 2017 show

Gigi Hadid has shared her thoughts on this year’s Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show, from the comfort of her own home of course, after the model was forced to bow out of this year’s runway.

Hadid confirmed on November 16 she would not be walking, with rumours being it was due to backlash over a video of the model poking fun at a Buddha cookie, which offended fans.

“I’m so bummed I won’t be able to make it to China this year. Love my VS family, and will be with all my girls in spirit!! Can't wait to tune in with everyone to see the beautiful show I know it will be, and already can't wait for next year! :) x,” she wrote.

Now, Hadid has shared her thoughts on the show, having viewed it as it aired in the US yesterday. Taking to Instagram Stories, Hadid expressed her excitement for younger sister Bella as she took to the runway and also congratulated the Victoria’s Secret team.

“Excited to watch my gorg lil sis (so proud @bellahadid) and all my angelic friends tonight #vsfs. HUGE LOVE to all the girls and the whole VS team!!”

The model added: “A year of prep and hard work deserves major celebration!!!! (Even though u never stop and you'll already be planning '18 tomorrow morning if not already @ed_razek).”

Gigi had originally confirmed in August she would be joining the model line-up in Shanghai but continued to receive comments on social media telling her she was not welcome in China due to the video in question. It was not known if it was a visa issue or a decision by the model herself.

Vogue March 2015

I haven't been this excited about Vogue in, gosh, I can't even remember how long. But things have changed. This Taylor Swift/Karlie Kloss Vogue cover was rumored for months and has finally become a beautiful reality. Maybe it has to do with the fact that I love Taylor Swift like she was my own sister/best friend/fellow cat lady for life. Or maybe it has to do with the fact that she got a Vogue photoshoot with her best friend. Or maybe it's because Taylor Swift is living my dream and I'm just on the sidelines waiting for her to tap me in. Or maybe it's because my road trips never turn out this picture-esque. (Although, eating Munchies and singing Celiné Dion at the top of your lungs does sound like a perfect Vogue feature.) Or maybe it's all of those things. But either way. I'm kind of obsessed with March's issue. How can you not be?!
