South African

Another cover from across the pond…Not sure if we would have instantly recognized Candice Swanepoel on Elle UK’s subscriber edition, so we’re grateful for her signature on the cover (with the heart over the ‘I’!) to confirm that it’s really her. In the issue, the South African mod opens up about the alienation she felt when she got into the business:

It’s hard to argue with Victoria’s Secret’s decision to put Candice Swanepoel on the cover of its catalog for the third time. Russell James shot the South African mod and the rest of the Angels on the beaches and in the pools of Miami and Turks and Caicos for your hubby’s favorite piece of mail out this week. In a continued effort to make you feel meh about your body, they’ve also created a music video of Swanepoel and the equally perfecto Doutzen Kroes looking flawless in bikinis. Sorry about that.
