I Took a Spin Class With the Victoria’s Secret Angels: Here’s Everything I Learned

Imagine taking spin class for the first time in your life. Now imagine the other girls riding stationary alongside you are the Victoria’s Secret Angels. Pretty intimidating, right? Well, that’s exactly what I did last night at SoulCycle in Manhattan’s Upper East Side for the 2nd Annual Supermodel Cycle ride–which donated 100% of its proceeds to the Pelotonia cancer charity bike ride in Columbus, Ohio. It was surreal, to say the least.

I kitted up in my fluoro-pink Victoria’s Secret workout gear to chat with Angels Lindsay Ellingson, Erin Heatherton, Behati Prinsloo, my ultimate lady-crush Doutzen Kroes, and brand new spokes-angel Arlenis Sosa before we (ok, I) got our bums absolutely kicked by the seriously intense spin class. So what did I learn from my supermodel workout with the Angels?

Miranda Kerr and Erin Heatherton Talk Angel Baby Playdates and HGTV Obsessions (In That Order) at Victoria’s Secret Live

Victoria’s Secret has definitely got a monopoly on the sexy market (which exists!), a fact that was made even more clear at last night’s Very Sexy for Spring 2012 show. “Hosted” by Angels Erin Heatherton and Miranda Kerr, the hour-long talk show-esque event, which was streamed live online, also included appearances from other Victoria’s Secret insiders who are experts on sexy (the noun). The web broadcast marked Victoria’s Secret’s further foray into being a lifestyle brand for all those aspiring Angels out there–lingerie was barely mentioned throughout the night.

Here’s what we learned (hint: Erin Heatherton loves HGTV almost as much as we do, and the Angel moms do NOT have play dates).

EXCLUSIVE: Watch the Victoria’s Secret Angels Talk About Their Awkward, Gum-in-Hair, First Kisses

They may be flawless supermodels now but even the Victoria’s Secret Angels were once inexperienced teenagers going through the typical awkward milestones–first kisses and all. To get you in the Valentine’s Day spirit (which we tend to forget during Fashion Week madness), watch Doutzen Kroes, Adriana Lima, Candice Swanepoel, Erin Heatherton, Lily Aldridge and Lais Read more →

Watch: Victoria’s Secret Models Talk About Their New Year’s Resolutions and the Symbolism of Their Panties

Adriana Lima is proving to be the break-out star of Victoria’s Secret’s holiday videos. We watched her flub her way through “Jingle Bells,” and in the latest installment she talks New Year’s resolutions, which include taking speech classes to “get rid of” her accent. (Aw, don’t do it, Adriana!) Adriana is joined in the video Read more →

Before They Were Angels: A Look at the Victoria’s Secret Models When They Had Braces and Bowl Cuts
Fashion Is Fun

Before They Were Angels: A Look at the Victoria’s Secret Models When They Had Braces and Bowl Cuts

The Victoria’s Secret fashion show is airing tonight (on CBS, 10/9C), and it’s always a spectacle of physical perfection. We don’t know if this will make you feel any better, but we dug up some pictures of some of the well-known Angels, and while–yes, they were obviously adorable–they’ve also had their share of bad bowl haircuts, gangly limbs, and mom-imposed fashion. But they’ve all emerged from their cocoons to earn their Angel wings (um, sorry for mixing metaphors there) and we’re excited to see the whole extravaganza tonight.

Click through to see the Angels back when they were mere mortals.

Adriana Lima: OK, so she was pretty much always very attractive.

From Gaining Weight to Liquid Diets, Which Victoria’s Secret Angel’s Pre-Show Diet and Work Out is the Craziest?
Events

From Gaining Weight to Liquid Diets, Which Victoria’s Secret Angel’s Pre-Show Diet and Work Out is the Craziest?

The Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show will be filmed today and although the models always talk about how much fun it is, we bet many of them will breathe sighs of relief once it’s all over because that means their weird, crazy diets will be over too. Those outfits are pretty unforgiving, so everyone’s been asking the VS angels what they’ve been doing to get in shape for the show and many of them are open about it.

If you thought they all did the same starving and constantly working out routine, you’d be wrong. They all have their own method (or their nutritionists and trainers do, at least). So, whose worked the best? Click through to learn their tricks.

Victoria’s Secret Angels Candice Swanepoel and Erin Heatherton Talk Getting ‘Underwear-Ready’ for the Runway, How to Walk in Heavy Wings and Doing Ballet Down the Runway

Victoria’s Secret Angels Candice Swanepoel and Erin Heatherton Talk Getting ‘Underwear-Ready’ for the Runway, How to Walk in Heavy Wings and Doing Ballet Down the Runway

Blond Victoria’s Secret bombshells Candice Swanepoel and Erin Heatherton graciously hosted a dinner on the rooftop of the Gramercy Hotel Tuesday night to celebrate the launch of the new ‘Angel’ scent. They chowed down with us (yes, we can vouch for that) and dished about their nerves for the upcoming Victoria’s Secret runway show on November 9 (it airs on CBS on November 29), how they keep their bodies “underwear ready” all year long (they never stop working out), and addressed some misconceptions about the Angels. Both girls were refreshingly candid about their jobs and the hard work that goes into looking like they do (OK, some of it’s just genetics).

Express Runway: Rock The Sidewalk
Reviews

Express Runway: Rock The Sidewalk

Express decided to do things differently for their Spring/Summer 2011 show. Hitting the streets of Manhattan’s Flat Iron District, the brand turned the corner of Broadway and 23rd Street into a public fashion show, inviting everyone to watch. As curiosity built up, a crowd of tourists, teens, and even nearby food vendors started to gather along the catwalk. By the the time the first model stomped the runway, we had ourselves a full-on outdoor fashion show–eclectic crowd and all.
