Victoria's Secret Angel and Model
About Candice Swanepoel
In 2010, at just 21, she became the youngest Victoria’s Secret Angel to open a show, walking barefoot in the iconic 'Pink' segment with a sun-bleached braid and unguarded smile that redefined approachable glamour. Unlike peers who leaned into theatricality, Candice anchored her presence in grounded South African authenticity: filming campaigns on the Cape Winelands vineyards, weaving Xhosa motifs into backstage rituals, and quietly advocating for sustainable lingerie production years before it trended. Her 2013 VS Fantasy Bra wasn’t just jeweled, it was engineered with recycled gold and ethically sourced sapphires, sparking industry-wide scrutiny of supply chains. She didn’t just wear wings; she questioned what they symbolized, stepping away from the brand in 2018 not as an exit but as a pivot, to produce documentaries on coastal conservation in the Eastern Cape and co-found a modeling mentorship program for girls from rural Limpopo. Her elegance isn’t performative, it’s the quiet insistence that beauty and ethics share the same runway.
