What’s your favourite thing about being a Victoria’s Secret model?

Being able to consistently work with amazing people, from my fellow Angels to photographers, directors and other creatives who make it all possible. It’s nice to see friendly and familiar faces.

What kind of lingerie do you wear every day?

I really like bralettes. They’re so pretty and delicate yet comfortable at the same time – you get the best of both worlds.

What kind of lingerie do you like wearing on date nights?

I recently wore a red lace bra and panty set that I love from the Victoria’s Secret Sexy Little Things collection. I think it’s the perfect date-night lingerie because it’s the kind of set that makes you feel sexy and confident no matter what outfit you wear over it.

What is the most comfortable bra you own?

The Beautiful by Victoria’s Secret Bra is my new favourite. It provides great lift without compromising comfort. I also love the Front-close Bralette. I have one in every colour.

Thongs or boy briefs?

Both. I like boy briefs for everyday wear, and thongs for nights out.

Bra or bralette?

Both. Bralettes are great to wear for comfort and can be part of your overall street style (like under sheer or low-cut tops), while bras give you an extra boost of confidence.

One-piece swimsuit or bikini?

Bikini. I don’t like tan lines.

What is your favourite type of sports bra?

I like high-intensity workouts, so for me, the Knockout Frontclose Sports Bra gives me the best support.

Do you sleep in pyjamas or slip dresses?

Slip dresses. They just make me feel like I have a sexy bedtime secret no one can see but me.

What’s your favourite kind of lingerie to receive as a gift?

Something black and silky. You can’t go wrong with that combination.
