Lily Aldridge

Can someone tell me how Lily has changed? Just because she's gained success doesnt mean shes changed :l . And also I'd like to say I wouldn't attribute her success to PURELY her celebrity dates.. I mean look at Bar.. has she walked VSFS or done a Bobbi Brown casmetic campaign :p Or that 'model' that Mathew mcconaughey married.. whats she done? Did she get to star in a famous lingerie show or score a cosmetic capaign :p ? Surely Mathew and Leo are bigger names than Caleb :l .. Honestly if Lily weren't a great model she wouldn't get booked REGARDLESS of whether or not shes dating someone famous.
 
I have been a fan of Lily for a long time and not just since all this current VS campaign. I'm happy for her success, I honestly am, but I just don't feel that it's "her" - the make-up, the fake tan, the skimpy dresses, the pouting, the booty shaking (lol!) - that's all I meant by that statement. I just like her more natural look and down to earth personality. I certainly don't hate her, I still think she's fantastic and I wish her every bit of success in what she chooses to do.

yeah I understand where lizardlove is coming from, of course we don't know her personly so maybe we can't actually tell if she has changed. But take a look at some pics from a couple of years ago and pics from now. You can see a difference in make-up/clothing/posing. Not that that's a really bad thing; I'm just saying I'm liking the old pics more. Next to that I am very happy for her succes. And I also have been a fan for a long time, I've been visiting her thread for years and she is really really beautiful and talentfull.
 
Like I already said: we don't. Because we don't know her. I'm just comparing old pics with pics from now and saying that I don't like the difference. Luckily we are all allowed to have different opinions:).
 
^^Well put, malexx09. Lily's outward appearance has changed, looking at old pics. This is a fashion forum so I am commenting on her looks and not on her personality. That is my opinion and everyone's opinions should be respected, even if we don't all agree.;)

of course her outward appearance has changed. she is a model, isn't she? models are chameleons. they change according to whatever product they are promoting. i am happy she is getting more work.
 
She's also grown up....don't think anyone has taken that into account. Have we even seen any recent cadids? I think when she has a ton of makeup on and things like that it's usually for some VS function.
 
I think so unfair credit her fame only because she's dating her with Caleb. That's help? Yes maybe a little :p

Everyone need to remember that she grew up in a family completely related to fashion, their sisters are actresses or models, his brother is a respected photographer. If she has the body type and talent to be a model that is more then normal that he make part of this. Who would refuse a chance like that?
She walking slowly and struggling to get where he is currently. I also prefer when she was more chameleon in the past, their poses were repetitive, but I think she has realized this and began trying different things.
She made important and also ordinary works, only a girl who really wants to be in this world accepts all types of work for one day can afford to choose campaigns.
There is a lot of musicians girls actors, and others who trying to be a model, but the lack of talent end up doing those girls made low-level jobs, I don't need give names because they are everywhere.
I think Lily was walking on the right way, making your contacts, knowing the right people who have opened some doors for her, even if she is the girlfriend of a rockstar she's a beautiful girl with a great body for the fashion industry and have been shooting very well. When using different poses and faces goes beyond expectations.

Many models had respect and popularity only after being an Angel. It's an honor for all of them, that's on each model face the importance of being part of the team, with it was no different on the night of the VS show, she was radiant and beautiful and could not hide the happiness of being there even though she was there for representing the pink line. If she is happy, and being successful why don't applaud.
Don't know why so much anger and criticism from some people who say like and admire her, just because she's grow up. If she's happy we need be happy for her and wish every day more luck. In the interview on the red carpet she proved that has not changed, many girls get far less, and become so arrogant, she was so kind and sweet. We all work to grow and gain ever more, so why she has to be doing mediocre catalogs if the doors are opening now?

We all change, if we take pictures of one or two years ago we laugh and feel so much better now, and we don't have half of the techniques that Lily has.
If was lucky coincidence or perfect timing for Caleb be recognized in states and the doors opening for her we can not say, I think it helped for both, and the cliche of a rockstar dating a pretty model will never end.
But it more or less then a year that they won the recognition deserved, and already make more than two years they dating. Before she also dated a band member who was also have recognition, and she did not use that to get more work, so because do it now? And why she needs to use Caleb if her brother is a photographer full of talent and the one of Vogue magazine, how many people she met in the industry during all these years. She also apear alot at the cobrasnake who made Cory (which I think looks like a dirty, ugly and has no beautiful body and zero talent, Cory K. even became famous because the cobrasnake site).

I think she deserves credit for getting where she are now, some small details maybe help, but don't make alot difference.
You can dating the coolest guy of the moment, but if you have no talent you will always be just the girlfriend, there are examples inside the band, ran behind some of the dreams and others just followed the boys on journeys across the world even if it cost him his independence of them . But while her boyfriend is part of the model Lily Aldridge, a name still recognized by few, but conquered by it.

I think she deserves credit for his achievements, a few small details can help but not make all difference.
You can dating the coolest guy of the moment, but without talent you will always be just 'the girlfriend'. We don't need go very far, at the KOL some girls realized their dreams, others just went out and played the role of girlfriend and accompanying them on trips around the world, even if it cost their independence. And even join with her boyfriend in many trips she is the model Lily Aldridge, a name still recognized by few, but the recognition has been achieved with hard work.


Btw thanks girls for answering my questions about the Avon :D, here in Brazil Avon is sold by books illustrated with photos and price the products only for women with a license, you make the request in 20 days the order arrives at your house. But we have a strong brand with more quality called 'Natura', (no much difference for me, because I like yours american and european products :rolleyes:) which uses products from our Amazonia and the quality is better. It's more expensive, but everyone prefer.
 
I really don't see how or why she got her fame has anything to do with her career. If she was a sucky model then she wouldn't get hired no matter who her boyfriend is. No one said you weren't allowed to get recognition from your boyfriend. If that was why she was dating him THEN that would count as a personal foul in my book (just like he shouldn't date her because she is arm candy) but everyone, at some point, seems to be connected to someone or something that's questionable/helpful within the means of whatever they achieve. It’s what the person does with it all that matters.

Yay Lily lips! Pucker up, lol.

The second is my FAV; it looks the most natural. And the "Boyfriend" shirts with shorts combination is so cute.
 
She looks beautiful. Very VS while still being natural and Lily-like :)
 
I don't understand the talk about her getting so much more work/fame/whatever in the fashion industry because she's dating Caleb Followill. I don't think that's made any difference to her in the fashion industry, I think it's just made her more famous among KoL fans/regular people. I think the fashion industry took notice years ago when she came out in that Levi's commercial. That commercial was everywhere, it's definitely when I first took notice of her. I do however wish to see more of the work she used to do, like for Italian Vogue. I want to see more editorial work, it sucks that we've only been seeing catalog things lately; she's SO good in editorials!
 
Okay, who was even talking about this Caleb stuff?? I don't see it being a discussion at all in the past few pages. People are talking about how Lily herself has supposedly changed. Nothing about Caleb.
