While the Victoria’s Secret Angels we saw on TV last night were essentially flawless superhumans, we can safely assume it’s a long road of primping, makeup, hairspray and intense workouts in order to be VS runway ready—and as it turns out, we’re totally right.
Nylon recently got real with some of Victoria’s Secret’s most well-known Angels before the show about one of the the not-so-glamorous parts of being a VS catwalker: hair removal. As you might have guessed, for most of the models, preparing before the show involves a lot of waxing, tweezing, plucking and shaving. Watch below for the inside scoop:
As one Angel puts it perfectly, “You have to go full waxing everywhere!” Kendall seems to agree, adding, “I just did what I normally do. I did my eyebrows and got all the hair off my body.” The bottom line: yes, even the Victoria’s Secret Angels have to deal with icky things like body hair removal.
The one surprise? Apparently, Gigi doesn’t ever actually do anything to her eyebrows—um, WHAT? Yes, it turns out her arches are naturally just that on-fleek—and we thought she couldn’t possibly get more perfect! Sigh.
