3 Victoria’s Secret Angels Remember Their First*VogueCasting Polaroid

Even without makeup, through a glaring, unfiltered lens, Victoria’s Secret models have a knack for giving their best face. Need evidence? The proof is in the Polaroids—Vogue*casting call Polaroids*to be exact. Taken almost a decade ago, these photographs show the models at their most alluringly undone; wide-eyed, fresh-faced, and completely uncoiffed. In anticipation of tonight’s airing of the*Victoria’s Secret show*on CBS at 10:00 p.m. EST, AngelsDoutzen Kroes,*Behati Prinslooand*Sigrid Agren*remember their first*Vogue*casting call.



Doutzen Kroes

Years at Victoria’s Secret:*Since 2004

Country:*The Netherlands

How did you feel getting your casting Polaroid shot by*Vogue
I was unbelievably nervous and excited. And I was wondering how I went from my small town in Holland to the halls of*Vogue!

What did you wear? Did you have a uniform you wore to castings?
I definitely had a casting uniform back then and I wore it that day. It was black jeans and heels to make my legs look longer and a black tank under a black tee so that I could show my upper body in castings, but it didn’t read too much like a model-on-a-go-see look.

Do you remember anything out of the ordinary about that day?
It was hot and humid and I was sweating like crazy! I remember being thankful that the sweat stains weren’t visible.

Did you prepare for it in any special way?
I didn’t, but I remember my agent being very clear that I needed to be on time and that this appointment was either going to make or break me. I kept thinking, “Great! No pressure!”

How have you changed since then and what have you learned?
It’s more like how haven’t I changed? I’m married, I have two children; I’ve become great friends with so many incredibly talented people in the industry. I’ve learned not to take any of the accolades for granted and have realized that fashion is fantasy. After all, we’re adults being paid to play dress up—and how amazing is that?

What advice do you have for models attending castings?
My advice is to smile–even if the casting agent isn’t. Remember to breathe—and be the best version of yourself.

Doutzen just said on Dutch TV she quits as VS angel.

 

[SevenWeeksLater]

What?! That's really sad and confusing since she was posting on instagram things like "see you next year" about the show

 

[MikChick]

Yep! They were very vague about it obviously (but still pretty clear she's quitting), but other lingerie brands are very interested and she probably already chose one of them...

 

[DutchHomme]

I think VS is not even aware of her decission yet.
Because she said: there are still talks about it but we know already what we are going to do.

 

[julien520]

She made a good decision!!!

 

[SallyAlbright]

I'm so sad but happy for her if it's what she wants! She is so underrated by VS.

 

[itskady]

I can't believe she's leaving VS! I always wanted her to get the fantasy bra Should've given it to her this year and saved the dual Ale/Adri FBs for their 20th next year. I hope she can at least still do the show Sad so many of my favs end up leaving before they get their FB (Rosie, Lindsay, now Doutzen). I guess it makes sense tho. VS doesn't focus on Doutzen. They didn't even let her open or close any segment, no FB after being with them for so long, so why bother.

 

[KateTheGreatest]

^I agree, I was kinda hoping she'd get the fantasy bra by now, it would definitely be well deserved. And she was underrated at VS. I wish her the best with new projects which ever they may be.

 

[Oxymore]

It was going to happen... I remember a time when she was saying that H&M offered her big contract but VS said no because she couldn't do both, and she was not really happy about that. She was saying that the next time VS does this when a big brand offer her a big contract it will be over with them...

 

[Nymphaea]

Sad, but understandable if she's going to leave VS for better jobs. Especially if VS is keeping Alessandra and Adriana for years to come, Doutzen will always be second best compared to them and also VS isn't using her a lot in campaigns. I would have liked her getting the fantasy bra one time. And looking at Gisele, she's very successful after VS, so maybe Doutzen is taking that as an example and of course time, love and income for her family is for her the most important in life.

RTL Late Night (10 december)
http://www.rtlxl.nl/#!/rtl-late-night-301978/9bbaf6df-c7f8-359a-a640-a9498ce54ff0

Interview starts at 15:50.

I think you'll need Hola! to watch this if you're not in The Netherlands.

 

[CharmingNicky]

Sad that she's leaving VS, but I think she deserved better treatment. She's one of the most beautiful girls out there and VS had her as a filler angel. Hope to see her move on to better things.

 

[DutchHomme]

First I thought she would do campaigns for other well-known brands (Zeki, LaPerla etc) but now I think she might start her own lingerie line together with a lingerie company just like Rosie & Gisele. A less known lingerie brand but she can/will make more money.

But before she probably start her own lingerie line I am really hoping that she will become the face of Calvin Klein underwear.
