InStyle Australia – June 2017

MY TIME

RUNWAY READY

How does a Victoria’s Secret

model survive hours of hair

and make-up, interviews,

and an internationally

televised event? An

eight-year veteran of the

lingerie label’s annual

extravaganza, Aldridge breaks

down her show-day fuel.

Breakfast Every year is different, but

last November I started with poached

eggs, avocado, and green tea.

Lunch I’ll have something clean and

healthy, like a quinoa salad.

Pre-show dinner Pasta. You need

energy toward the end of the day.

It’s such a long one.

Late-night snack Post-wrap, I usually

have a pizza party.

3PM | First priorities When Dixie gets out of school,

I take her to ballet, soccer or karate. Or, if it’s a free

afternoon, we might bake together. I love doing things

with my daughter. There is nothing more important

in my life than making her happy.

“Some days

my style is more

classic; on others

it’s rock’n’roll.

It all depends

on how I feel.”

5PM | Home cooking When it’s time for supper,

I’m an early bird, which I get teased for. My husband

[Kings of Leon frontman Caleb Followill] grills steak,

and I’ll make a side of peas and prosciutto.

8PM | Streaming now My daughter goes to bed,

and I’ll stay up for a few hours longer watching Netflix

to wind down. I’m just getting into The Crown, and

I’m also a fan of Black Mirror.

DAILY MANTRA “Modelling can be glamorous, but it’s important

to realise that it is a job. I try to approach every opportunity

from a place of professionalism and gratitude.”

DATE NIGHT

For an evening out,

my husband and I

enjoy a quiet meal

together. One of our

go-to restaurants

is Barbuto in New

York City.

G E TAWAY

I travel to Turks and

Caicos [islands] to

relax. The hotels are

beautiful, the food

is great, and the

water is clear.

HAIR CARE

Tracey Cunningham

has been doing my

colour for years at

Mèche Salon in LA.

I like to go lighter in

the summer and

darker for fall.

BOOK LIST
I read all the time.
Recently I’ve been
recommending
All The Light We
Cannot See by
Anthony Doerr.

On the Victoria’s Secret

2016 catwalk in the label’s

signature angel wings: “I

usually ask for a lighter pair.”

“Turks and Caicos [in the

Carribbean] is one of the

best places in the world.”
