How Victoria’s Secret Models Are Spending The Days Leading Up to the Big Show
On Thanksgiving, Maria Borges will have a leg, please. Lameka Fox just wants to be Naomi Campbell, and Bella Hadid is going to fit in one last workout. The last weekend before the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show in Paris coincided with Thanksgiving break this year, which meant Angels around the world balanced family time — and some much-needed sustenance amid grueling workouts — with final preparations before they jet off to France. Turkey Day is a contact sport, and these hard-working models know it best. See what the most elite Victoria’s Secret models are getting up to in the last few days before the big show, here.
